Buies Creek, NC – The Wagner College softball team suffered a 6-4 loss to Rider on the final day of the Camel Stampede Tournament, hosted by Campbell University.
 
The Seahawks, who finished the weekend with a 1-3 record, fell behind 3-0 in the first two innings, but fought their way back into the contest.
 
Graduate student Makenzie Miller scored Wagner's first run of the game on a double steal in the bottom of the second. Down 4-1 in the fourth, an RBI by senior Bianca Worthy brought home senior Alexa Garcia to add another Wagner run.
 
In the fifth inning, a Rider error brought home graduate student Mackenzie Vogler, setting up sophomore Justine Carranza, who tied the game at 4-4 with a sacrifice fly to left.
 
The Broncs, however, answered in the sixth inning, scoring two runs to earn the victory.
 
Wagner combined for seven hits throughout the contest, with graduate student Penelope Russ recording two hits.
 
Graduate student Eve Harvey was charged with the loss after going the distance, striking out four batters in the process.
