Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 The Alabama State softball team dropped a double header to Jackson State 5-2 and 9-1 Sunday at the Barbara Williams Softball Complex.
 
GAME 1- Alabama State was scoreless in their last three and a half innings, while holding Jackson State scoreless for their last three innings.
 
Both clubs managed runs in the first inning, with JSU scoring two runs on three hits. ASU's first run of the game came on an Aleesa Yanez single to center field scoring Tamara Williams, who tripled to right field before Yanez.
 
In the third inning, both teams would plate runs with Jackson State pushing the score to 4-2. The Lady Hornets lone run of the inning came when Diauna Nelson slapped a double to left field scoring Meagan Dixon, who reached base as a result of a fielder's choice.
 
Jackson State would score once more in the fourth inning to give the game it's final. ASU accounted for seven hits but stranded six runners throughout the game.
 
GAME 2- In the second half of today's double dip, JSU got out to an early lead as they took a 7-0 advantage after two innings. ASU's pitching got off to a slow start as Jackson State was able to turn five hits and three walks into seven runs.
 
JSU scored two more runs, one in the third and again in the fourth before ASU would get their only run of the contest.
 
In the fifth inning, Dixon, who blasted a triple to left field, came in on a Nelson's ground ball to second to make the score read 9-1. The Lady Hornets would run out of gas, as JSU closed the door on the weekend series finishing the game in five innings.
 
"I think we became complacent in what we were doing and we didn't make adjustments," Assistant Coach Brittanie Talley said. "Attitude can be contagious when you get down on yourself."
