Saturday's Softball Game Pushed Forward

The West Georgia softball team is set to play Delta State in doubleheader action now beginning at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 21. The time has been pushed forward from its original time due to the West Fest Music Festival that will be held at the UWG Athletic Complex on April 21 beginning at 3 p.m.

The Wolves and Lady Statesmen faced one another earlier this season on March 31 where they split on the day. The Wolves took the first game of the day by the score of 7-5 but the Lady Statesmen came back to win the second game 8-2. Saturday's game was originally scheduled for 1 p.m.

Jay Ungar and Molly Mason

Playing fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar and piano, Ungar and Mason delight audiences wherever they roam.  Their concerts are often a musical travelogue featuring fiddle music from a variety of traditions including Appalachian, Bluegrass, Cajun, Irish and Scottish Highland.  Ungar and Mason won international acclaim after The Civil War series aired on PBS featuring Jay's haunting composition, Ashokan Farewell.  Ken Burns, the producer, described the husband and wife duo perfectly, "Jay and Molly play music from the heart, which reminds us of the best in all of us." The concert takes place Thursday, April 26th at 7:30 p.m. in the Townsend Center for the Performing Arts. For ticket information visit townsendcenter.org

Bellarmine Bombs Down UWG

The ball was flying out of University Field on Tuesday evening — and unfortunately for first-year University of West Georgia softball coach Mandy Harris, it wasn’t doing so when the home team was at the plate.

The Wolves dropped a pair of games against Bellarmine University to open a daunting week, falling in the opener, 3-1, before succumbing in the nightcap, 11-2, behind a combined five Knight home runs in the two games.

In the opener, Bellarmine (12-8) used a two-run dinger from Madi Ratliff to give it the lead for good at 2-1 in the top of the fourth. The visitors from the Bluegrass State tacked on another home run — this one a solo shot courtesy of Lauren Summe — to give Bellarmine hurler Alicia Miller (5-4) some insurance.

West Georgia (5-11) out-hit the Knights, 8-5, in the game, but got its only run on a solo blast from Kristen Sheffield in the bottom of the second.

In the second game, Ratliff struck again to get things going for the Knights, delivering a three-run homer over the left-center fence to put Bellarmine ahead 4-0 in the third.

West Georgia got a run back on a Nicole Yancey solo shot in the bottom of the sixth, but the Knights busted the game open with a seven-run seventh, getting solo home runs from Megan Murdoch and Scarlett Powers for deep balls No. 4 and No. 5 on the day.
