Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 NEW PORT RICHEY — For the first time this season, Polk State Softball was swept in a doubleheader on Tuesday night. The Eagles dropped a pair of low-scoring contests to Pasco-Hernando State College.

Polk State lost the first game, 6-3.

Pasco-Hernando State went ahead for good in the fifth on Leeanna Freeman's RBI single to make it 3-2. The Bobcats added three runs in the sixth, but the Eagles made things interesting in the seventh.

Three singles brought the tying run to the plate. After Nayeli Hernandez's RBI groundout, Makenzie Foster flied out to end the game.

Chelsi Rae' Hebert got the scoring started for Polk State with an RBI triple in the first. After Pasco-Hernando went ahead with two runs in the third, Hebert scored on a sacrifice fly from Leia Hurst to tie the game in the fourth.

Hebert and Savannah Jacobs each finished with two hits for the Eagles in the loss. Freeman had two RBIs for the Bobcats. Aliyah Bentley finished 3-for-3 with two runs scored in the win.

The second game was more heartbreaking for the Eagles. They let a golden opportunity slip away late in a 2-1 loss.

Polk State (9-6) used a single from Leia Hurst and a Pasco-Hernando error to put runners on the corners with nobody out in the top of the seventh. After back-to-back strikeouts, Silvia Franzoni popped out to end the contest.

For the second game in a row, the Eagles scored the game's first run. Jacobs' sacrifice fly scored Franzoni to give Polk State a 1-0 lead in the fourth. The Bobcats plated two unearned runs in the fifth to cap the scoring.

Game two was the Jamie Reinhardt show. In the circle, Reinhardt didn't allow an earned run in six innings. At the plate, she was 3-for-3 for a Polk State team that managed just five hits.

After an 8-2 start, the Eagles have now lost four of their last five. They'll try to get back on track on Friday when they return home to host Oakland Community College.
