CARROLLTON, Ga.  - The UWG softball team dropped a Wednesday night non-conference matchup to the Jax State Gamecocks, 13-2, at University Field. 

West Georgia (5-12) fell behind early in the cool February weather, and Jax State (12-5) scored 12 runs on 10 hits and scored half of their runs in the first inning. 

Jax State got a leadoff double and then back-to-back walks to load the bases and the first pitch to the cleanup hitter was belted for a grand slam. The Gamecocks added two more and then led 6-0 after their first at-bat. 

JSU then added one run in the third and two more in the sixth to lead 9-0. 

West Georgia didn't get a baserunner until the third inning, and got on the board in the bottom of the sixth. UWG got just one hit in the sixth and was aided by a pair of JSU errors and scored two.  

In the seventh, JSU added four runs on two hits and three walks to account for the final tally. 

UWG had just four hits in the game. 

The Wolves are on the road this weekend at Furman, playing four games in two days. UWG's first action of the weekend is against Seton Hall at 10:30 a.m. from the campus of Furman in Greenville, South Carolina.
