Samantha Eckert's walk-off home run lifts No. 16 Bossier Parish to 9-0 win over Baton Rouge in game one

BOSSIER CITY, La. - Freshman catcher Samantha Eckert hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning to give the Bossier Parish Community College Lady Cavaliers a 9-0 walk-off win over in-state rival Baton Rouge Community College in game one of Sunday's doubleheader at the BPCC Softball Field.

The Lady Cavaliers banged out eight hits in the game, including four extra-base hits. BPCC scored three runs in the first, three in the third and added three more in the fifth to run-rule the Lady Bears. Eckert, a redshirt freshman from West Ouachita High School, went 2-for-3 in the game with four runs batted in. Uchenna Jong Loy also went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and two RBIs.

BPCC pitcher Kiana Pogroszewski was tremendous in the circle for the Lady Cavaliers. The redshirt freshman from Ephram, Utah, tossed five scoreless innings, allowed just two hits, while walking one and striking out six.
