Score 3(Houston), give up 2(East Carolina), top of the next inning. Is not a way to start a game. Especially if it is the 1st game of a double-header. Two today and one tomorrow. And with both teams having an error a piece. Thank goodness for starting pitcher Diedre Outon settled down to taking care of the business in front of her. And that was taking control of the game from the circle. No starting pitcher wants extended innings. But such is life, for the Lady Cougars scored 5 runs bottom of the 2nd. Both teams go without a run in the 3rd. Both teams scored during the 4th. 1 run by ECU and 3 by the Lady Cougars. ECU would score 2 top of the 4th which would require the Lady Cougars to come to bat in the bottom of the 5th. 2 runs would settle the game.
