Lady Rams Open 2007 Season With 3-2 Loss At North Carolina Central - WINSTON-SALEM STATE OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE

Feb. 10, 2007

DURHAM, NC - The Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams softball team started the 2007 season with a heartbreaking 3-2 loss to the 2006 CIAA Softball Champion North Carolina Central University Eagles on Saturday afternoon in Durham, NC.

The Lady Rams were the beneficiaries of seven strong innings of work from the ace of the WSSU staff as Amber Shore gave up only three runs in the contest yet was saddled with the loss to drop to 0-1 on the season.

WSSU had runners on base in all seven innings yet could never fully capitalize on the runners left in scoring position.

The failure to bring home potential scoring runs would ultimately come back to haunt the Lady Rams as North Carolina Central earned the go-ahead run on an error at third base in the bottom of the sixth inning en route to the 3-2 lead and victory.

The defeat drops the Lady Rams to 0-1 on the season while the Eagles improve to 1-0 overall. WSSU and North Carolina Central resume play at 4:00 pm when they play the second game of the twin-bill.
