Hess, Richardson Homer in Loss to Eagles

ATLANTA -- Daisy Hess and Bailee Richardson each homered in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Georgia Southern in the series opener at Bob Heck Field.

After a Kalynn Hicks single and error led to Richardson scoring the game's first run in the bottom of the second, Hess led off the bottom of the fourth with a line drive to the deepest part of the park in center field for her team-leading 10th home run of the season.

Georgia Southern scored once in the fifth and once in the sixth to tie the game at 2-2 before Richardson led off the bottom of the sixth with a solo shot to left field to make it 3-2, GSU.

The Eagles hit a three-run homer with two outs in the top of the seventh to take a 5-3 lead. Georgia State got a run back in the bottom of the seventh on a Hess single, but left the tying run on second to fall 5-4. 

Georgia State and Georgia Southern will wrap up the series with a doubleheader Friday beginning at 1 p.m. GSU will celebrate its seniors following the end of Game 2.
