Box Score ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Barry University softball team (29-18, 8-11 SSC) fell to the Eckerd College Tritons (14-34-1, 1-18 SSC) 2-1 in Sunshine State Conference play earlier tonight at Turley Field.

Amy Kilbert got the Tritons off to a solid start in the first inning with an RBI triple and later scored to give Eckerd an early 2-0 lead. After failing to capitalize with the bases loaded in the second, Barry's Kim Fujimoto drove in Barry's first run of the game with an RBI double and narrowing the Triton lead 2-1 in the third. That was all the Bucs could manage as the Tritons held on for the win.

Elizabeth Bennett (24-11) suffered the loss for Barry giving up two runs in seven innings on three hits, while striking out five. Kristina Lemon (13-17) picked up the win allowing just one run and struck out eight.
Both teams will conclude regular season play on Saturday, May 1 at 2 pm.
