CLINTON, S.C. --The Morehead State Eagles got a boost from Maddy Christopher, who collected three hits in a 7-3 loss to the George Washington Revolutionaries Saturday.
Rylie Burney (0-2) took the loss in the circle for Morehead State (0-3).
Christopher's three-hit day led the Eagles offensively. Darlene Montoya put together a noteworthy performance at the dish as well, going 1-for-3 with two RBI. Taikibrea Campbell also contributed for Morehead State, putting together one hit in three trips to the plate while adding a double.
"This game was the opposite of yesterday," MSU coach Megan Griffith said. "We got out to an early lead, but we made a few mistakes at the wrong time and things got away from us at the end. This game was closer than the final score made it seem."
