With five runs in the bottom of the eighth, Winston-Salem St. beat Chowan 7-6 in the final of the CIAA Softball Tournament in Petersburg on Saturday.

Chowan (34-19) advanced to the final with a 3-2, eight-inning win against Virginia State on Saturday morning.

Needing two wins over WSSU, as WSSU, the CIAA South Division champs, defeated the Lady Hawks, the CIAA North Division champs, earlier in the tourney, Chowan came close in regulation and in the extra inning.

CU led 2-1 until the Lady Rams scored a run in the bottom of the sixth. CU scored four runs in the top of the eighth, only for a huge Lady Ram comeback to win the final. WSSU got a two-run single with two outs in the eighth to get the tying and winning runs.

Senior outfielder Mindy Byrd (King’s Fork) is a starter and earned first team All-CIAA honors this season and sophomore Shelby Pendleton (Lakeland) is a reserve outfielder for CU.
