Softball Rallies Late Behind Harris; Unable to Out-Pace Tritons in GLVC Championship Opening Round

EAST PEORIA, Ill. | EastSide Centre – Fourth-seeded McKendree University softball (33-21, 16-10 GLVC) dropped its first round game of the 2024 Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship against fifth-seeded Missouri-St. Louis, 6-4, after rallying to send the contest to extra innings. The rally was led by sophomore infielder Lauren Harris who had a two-home run outing, a solo shot and a two-run bomb to tie the game at 3-3 in the bottom of the seventh. McKendree will be back in action on Friday morning for its next game, an elimination contest against eighth-seeded Maryville, with a time yet to-be-announced.
