Alexis Sydnor homers in the win

MONTGOMERY, Ala. | Alabama State opened Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) play with a 2-1 victory over Grambling State at the Barbara Williams Softball Complex Friday night in walk-off fashion

The two teams were scoreless until the fifth when Grambling State took advantage of an error from the Lady Hornets to take a 1-0 lead. Alabama State answered with a solo home run off the bat of Alexis Sydnor to tie the game at 1-all, and scored the game-winning run in the seventh on a sacrifice fly from Casey Durham to score Marina Clark from third.

Sydnor went 3-for-3 on the day with a run scored and an RBI, while Aimee Felices finished 2-of-2. Marina Clark scored the only other run of the game for Alabama State, while Casey Durham collected an RBI.

Justine Jean (5-5) picked up the win, pitching a complete game and scattering seven hits. She allowed one run (an earned run), walked a pair and struck out four. Ja'Lynn Bonner picked up the loss for Grambling State in a complete game effort as she allowed two runs off of 10 hits.

The two teams will meet again tomorrow afternoon in a doubleheader at the Barbara Williams Softball Complex, with first pitch scheduled for 1 pm.
