CARROLLTON, Ga. - The UWG softball team fell 14-6 on Tuesday afternoon to the Samford Bulldogs in non-conference action. 

West Georgia (13-36) led after two innings, but were outscored 14-4 over the final five frames by Samford (23-26). 

The Bulldogs struck first with Brandy Phillips slugging a two-run home run in the top of the first, but in the bottom half, an error following a Madison McDonald double allowed Tamia Young to score to cut the deficit in half. 

Bekah Johnson singled in two runs to give UWG a second-inning lead, and then Madison Humber added another with an RBI single of her own. 

Samford responded with back-to-back home runs by Katie Campbell and the second Phillips home run. A single added another to make it 5-4. 

In the fourth, a home run from Olivia Shaw stretched the lead to two at 6-4 and then Ella Nelson hit the fifth home run of the day for the Bulldogs, a grand slam in the sixth to make it a 10-4 Bulldog advantage. 

Samford got four more in the top of the seventh, and UWG got two in the bottom half on a two-RBI single by Delaney Hoyle. 

Humber and McDonald each had two hits for the Wolves. Stetson had 16 hits as a team including two players, Phillips and Nelson, with four hits each. 

UWG is back in action on the road this weekend in ASUN play, traveling to Jacksonville, Florida to take on North Florida.
