NACOGDOCHES – Senior
Brianna Barnhill's second-inning solo home run was the only bit of offense for Abilene Christian in its 3-1 loss Sunday at Stephen F. Austin.
The Wildcats fell to 23-25 on the season and 15-12 Southland Conference following today's defeat, while the Ladyjacks improved to 31-20 and 18-9 SLC. ACU will next face Northwestern State in the first round of the Southland Conference Championships Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. in Lake Charles, La.
Barnhill smashed her second home run of the series over the right field fence to give ACU an early 1-0 lead, but the Ladyjacks answered with two runs in the third and one in the fourth which were enough to salvage the final game of their three-game series.
