The Ursuline College softball team rallied for a come-from-behind win over the second seeded Hillsdale Chargers on Thursday afternoon in the opening round of the G-MAC Softball Tournament hosted by the University of Findlay. 

Trailing 1-0, Ursuline tied the game in the second inning after Maddie Fields started things with a leadoff base hit. Kiley Gallagher followed with a base hit and Emily Shrader grounded out to move runners to second and third. Pinch runner Matyson Michalski scored on a wild pitch to even the score. 

It was Fields who gave the Arrows offense a huge boost in the top of the third inning. With two outs, Alyssa Baratta singled and Nicole Rawlings reached on a base hit to set the stage for Fields. On a two-strike pitch. Fields connected on her first home run of the season over the center field fence to put Ursuline in front 4-1.

Hillsdale's offense exploded in the bottom of the sixth inning for seven runs to take an 8-6 advantage. 

Ursuline did not back down with only three-outs remaining and trailing by two runs. Sara Fessler picked up a one-out double down the left field line and Rawlings drove her in with a single to right field to make it 8-7. Fields delivered in the clutch again with a single and Gallagher drove in a run with a single that hugged the right field line to tie the game 8-8. 

Pinch hitter Adrianna Nicon put Ursuline in front with a base hit to cetner to score pinch runner Ashley Buttolph and put Ursuline back in front 9-8.
