ATLANTA – No. 15 Birmingham-Southern softball upset No. 2 Emory University Sunday on the road.  BSC (4-4) rebounded from dropping game one 8-4 by pulling out a 12-10 eight inning stunner in the doubleheader finale.

Charley Clark (Calera, Ala./Calera HS) hit.667 on the day with two hits, both doubles, two runs, and four RBI.  She knocked in the go ahead runs in the eighth.  Saydee Keith (Corner, Ala./Corner HS) led the team with four hits.  And Bailey Murphy (Trussville, Ala./University of South Alabama), Morgan McGuire (Notasulga, Ala./Reeltown HS), Annie Clayton (Eufaula, Ala./Eufaula HS), and Madison Plunkett (Alabaster, Ala./Thompson HS) earned three hits each, respectively.

In game two, the Panthers led 7-2 before Emory rallied in the fourth to pull within one.  They were able to hold the Eagles off the board for the next two innings, but a big seventh from the hosts tied it up and forced extra innings.  With one out, Keith singled down the right field line.  She moved into scoring position when the next batter reached on an error by the second baseman.  Both runners came around to score on a double by Clark.  Murphy pitched a complete eight innings to earn the game two win.

BSC is back home next.  They host Huntingdon College for a doubleheader on Tuesday.
