Columbus, GA.-Dreams of a conference championship for the Clark Atlanta University women’s softball team came down to two outs, bases loaded, and a full count in the bottom of the seventh inning. It is the perfect scenario that all ball players relish in the opportunity to be a hero for the moment, but Kentucky State University pitcher Lorena Villamar played the spoiler and caught the CAU batter staring down a strike traveling straight across the plate to advance the Thorobrettes into the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women’s softball championship game with a 4-3 victory over Clark Atlanta Saturday at the Commons Softball Complex in Columbus, GA.

Villamar, who pitched a complete game, gave up only four hits after relinquishing two Clark Atlanta homeruns in the first inning including a two-run blast by Ashley Brooks and a solo shot by Lakeisha Pruitt. Shenazz Burrell recorded two RBIs including a single to centerfield that put Kentucky State up for good.
