WILMINGTON, DE (March 25, 2025) - There were lots of emotions between two games played at Goldey-Beacom Tuesday afternoon. The Lions had everything working in a euphoric 9-1, game one win. Game two seemed to be headed that way with a lead into the seventh, but it came crashing down as the Lightning walked off the Lions with a three-run seventh inning to steal a 4-3 win in game two. 

Game 1 - Georgian Court 9, Goldey-Beacom 1 - 5 Innings
How it Happened
• It was all Georgian Court as the Lions scored in four of five innings.
• They picked up 10 hits, three extra-base hits and limited the Lightning offense to just two.
• The Lions had a lot of traffic with 10 hits and five walks and still left eight on base.
• There were just two total strikeouts the entire game. 
• Neither team made an error in the field.
• Georgian Court loaded the bases in the first thanks to a single, walk and a hit-by-pitch. They only brought in one run though on Gabriella Aleman's sacrifice fly to center for a 1-0 lead.
• The Lions made it 4-0 in the second. Brooklyn Ragland led off with a double and scored on Charlee Mae Sinderud's RBI single. 
• Sinderud scored on a double from Kaylin Curro and Curro crossed on a safety squeeze from Lia DeMaio.
• GCU loaded the bases in the fourth as Curro, DeMaio and Ella Moore each singled to lead off the inning. It looked like the Lightning might get out of the inning unharmed after a couple of ground balls got the force at home. But GCU stayed patient and worked two walks to drive in two runs and go up 6-0.
• The Lion offense continued to roll in the fifth. After Curro singled and DeMaio was hit by a pitch, Moore tripled into the gap in right center to score them both. Winn drove in Moore with a ground ball and the Lions led 9-0.
• As hot as the offense was, Julia Lapp was dealing in the circle as well. She allowed just a walk through the first four innings.
• Goldey-Beacom finally got their first hit leading off the fifth. They scored a run on a ground ball, but that was all and GCU took game on after five innings, 9-1.
