Ashland, Va. -- The University of Lynchburg softball team fell to Randolph-Macon in the regular-season finale on the road Saturday.
The Hornets were shut out in Game 1 with only three hits by the seventh-ranked Yellow Jackets. Carly Hudnall had two of the three knocks from the leadoff spot in the order.
The Hornets got seven hits in Game 2, and the biggest one came off the bat of Madison Barnes in the form of a third-inning grand slam. Her first homer of the year put the Hornets up 4-0, but the Yellow Jackets responded in the third, fifth, and sixth innings to earn a comeback victory over the Hornets.
Lynchburg finished the regular season already with its most wins since 2021. That 2021 squad won 29 games including four in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference tournament. Lynchburg awaits the announcement of the 2024 tournament field, but the Hornets will be on the road for the first round of the postseason.
