AIKEN, S.C. – The University of South Carolina Aiken softball team lost a doubleheader to Georgia College Sunday afternoon by scores of 5-4 and 8-2.

The Pacers are now 27-19 on the season and wrap up PBC play at 11-13.

Head coach Jerry Snyder's team out-hit the visitors in the first game, but a pair of unearned runs were the difference in the contest.

After falling behind 4-0 through three innings, USC Aiken cut into the deficit with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth.

Sydney Murphy led off the inning with a single up the middle and moved to second when Samantha Chubb did the exact same thing. Magan Thrower's single to left put runners on every base. Hannah Price singled up the middle, plating Murphy and Chubb to make it 4-2. After a change in the pitcher's circle, the Pacers were unable to push across any more runs in the stanza.

In the bottom of the fourth, Sarah Montei blasted a solo homer over the left center field fence to make it 4-3.

The Bobcats got the run back in the sixth, but there was no quit in the home squad.

Chandler Terrapin came in as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the seventh and promptly lifted a solo shot over the wall, making it 5-4. With one down, Montei earned a walk. A single by Murphy put runners on first and second. However, a ground ball to second base allowed the visitors to tag Murphy and the runner was called out at first base to end the contest.

For the game, Montei, Murphy and Thrower had two hits apiece. Price drove in a pair of runs. Taylor Morgan was solid in the circle, striking out 11 while giving up just three earned runs on seven hits.

In the nightcap, Georgia College led 3-0 after the top of the first, but Snyder's team managed to get a run back in the bottom of the stanza.

With two on, Thrower's groundout allowed a run to come home, making it 3-1 after Montei trotted across the plate.

The Bobcats added three in the third, one in the fourth and one in the fifth.

Snyder's team had two runners on in the fourth and one in the fifth, but the squad was unable to make a dent into the deficit it faced until the seventh.

With two runners on, Kelli Shealy's single allowed Morgan to come home for the final run of the contest.

In the loss, Montei accounted for two hits while Morgan came in to relieve Terrapin and struck out four in the game.

The Pacers return to action Friday at the PBC Championship in Milledgeville, Ga.
