The Eastern Florida State College softball team lost a pair of Southern Conference games on the road Friday.
Down 3-1 in the first game, the Titans scored runs in the fifth and sixth innings to tie the game 3-3 as the two teams battled into the bottom of the 10th inning when Miami Dade scored to pick up the win.
Gabriela Garcia and Jaydah Stroup each had two hits in the game and Lauren Lightbody scored twice. Trinity Howard pitched nine innings, allowing three runs in a no decision.
The Titans fell behind again in the second game as the Sharks scored five times to take a 5-1 lead after the first inning. But the Titans would strike for two in the top of the second to cut the lead to 5-3.
Jaydah Stroup had a bunt single that scored Olivia Rivera to put the Titans within one, 6-5 in the fifth inning.
But Miami Dade would score twice in the bottom of the fifth to increase the lead to 8-5. Meritxell Blesa's RBI single made it 8-6 in the sixth inning but that would be as close as the Titans would get.
Lightbody and Blesa each had four hits in the game and Rivera had two hits, both doubles.
The Titans, who are now 1-9 in the conference, will host Miami Dade on Wednesday. The first game at Titan Softball Complex will begin at 2 p.m.
