Box Score LUBBOCK, Texas (March 14, 2015) – Lubbock Christian failed to complete a three-game sweep of St. Mary's on Saturday afternoon at PlainsCapital Park by falling 11-3 to the fifth-ranked Rattlers in six innings to put the Lady Chaps in second place within the Heartland Conference.
 
LCU (17-6, 7-1 Heartland) suffered their first loss within the league after falling behind 6-0 in the fourth inning before the Rattlers (18-7, 3-2 Heartland) racked up six runs in the top of the sixth to finish the game.
 
The Lady Chaps initially saw a glimpse of scoring in the bottom of the first following a Sydney Beuthien walk and a Jessica Loiacano single up the middle but were unable to convert. St. Mary's was the first to put a score on the board with a Vianna Gutierrez Touchtone with a homer to right center.
 
The Rattlers piled up five runs to gain a 6-0 advantage before LCU totaled a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth from a St. Mary's fielding error for a 6-2 ballgame. StMU padded to their lead in the following frame, taking advantage of two LCU errors and a wild pitch to rack up an additional five runs for an 11-3 edge that would not make it to another inning.

The Lady Chaps will travel to Odessa on Tuesday for a rescheduled doubleheader against the Falcons at 2 p.m.
