No. 13 Young Harris rallies for sweep over Augusta

YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. | The 13th-ranked Young Harris College softball team rallied in both games to sweep a Peach Belt Conference doubleheader from Augusta University Friday (March 26) evening at the YHC Softball Field.

The Mountain Lions rallied from four runs down to win the opener 6-5. YHC forced extra innings in the nightcap and the Mountain Lions won 4-3 in 10 innings.

Young Harris improved to 19-4 overall and 8-0 in the Peach Belt, while the Jaguars fell to 8-16 and 2-4.

  • After Augusta took a 4-0 lead on a Lindsey South grand slam in the first inning, Young Harris began its comeback as Jill Torres ripped an RBI double down the left field line in the bottom half of the inning.
  • YHC took the lead 5-4 after the Mountain Lions scored four times in the fourth. Maddie Urquiola had a bases-loaded walk before Emily Harris stroke a bases-clearing two-out double to left field.
