BOLIVAR, Mo. -- The SBU softball Bearcats dropped two home games to the Pitt State Gorillas, losing 11-1 in game one before dropping the second contest 6-2 in Saturday's afternoon action.

The Gorillas jumped on top in game one with three runs in the first inning. On a day that she and fellow seniors Rachel Shaw and Stephanie Rodriguez were honored, Taressa Gomez homered to lead off the bottom of the first for the 'Cats.

The Bearcats were shut down the rest of the day by PSU pitcher Melissa Slayden, who allowed one run on three hits. Pitt State would get four runs in each of the third and fourth innings to run rule the Bearcats after five innings.

Game two saw PSU grab one run in the first and two runs in the fourth and fifth innings. The Bearcats got their runs in the sixth inning on a two-run homer from Nina Amaro Garcia. Tiffany Swanson picked up the win for the Gorillas.

The Bearcats are now 16-24 overall and 1-5 in the conference while Pitt State is 22-15 and 4-2 in the MIAA. The Bearcats host Central Missouri this Tuesday in doubleheader action beginning at 2:00 p.m.
