Box Score

CONWAY, S.C. – Eastern Kentucky ended the Kickn’ Chicken Classic hosted by Coastal Carolina with a 6-2 loss to DePaul on Sunday.

DePaul (6-4) scored the first six runs of the game. With a 2-0 lead in the fourth, Shea Warren connected on a three-run home run. The Blue Demons added another run in the fifth.

A two-out, two-run double by freshman Raquel Howes in the top of the seventh finally got the Colonels on the board, but that’s as close as they would get.

Sophomore Diane Gallagher went 3-for-4 with a run and a stolen base for EKU (0-9). Warren finished 2-for-2 and Becca Heteniak drew three walks for DePaul.

The Colonels will be in action again on Saturday when they face Evansville at the Lipscomb Tournament in Nashville, Tenn.
