BATON ROUGE, La. --- The No. 15 Georgia softball team (26-7, 2-3) came up short in a doubleheader at No. 11 LSU (27-7, 3-2), as the Bulldogs fell 2-0 and 1-0 on Sunday at Tiger Park.

The day showcased a pitchers' duel in both games, as the teams combined for six hits in game one and four in the later contest.

LSU put up game one's first hits and runs in the third inning, notching a 2-0 lead with a bases-loaded hit off the left field wall. The Tigers totaled four hits in the game with three coming in that third frame, as Mary Wilson Avant (5-3) threw the complete game with three walks and two strikeouts.

Cortni Emanuel tabbed Georgia's two hits while the junior along with Lacey Sumerlin and Maeve McGuire also walked. Allie Walljasper (10-1) kept the Bulldog bats at bay in seven innings of work.

In the day's final game, LSU got a 1-0 lead it needed in the first after Bailey Landry was issued a one-out walk. Landry moved into scoring position with a stolen base before a fielding error gave the Tigers the run.

Brittany Gray (16-4) held the Tigers to just two hits in the game while she walked five and struck out two. LSU's Sydney Smith (7-1) also gave up two hits with Sumerlin and Alysen Febrey recording one each.
