CLEVELAND, Tenn. | The University of Alabama in Huntsville softball team dropped the series finale with host Lee on Sunday, falling 9-1 in five innings. The Chargers slip to 17-11 (7-8 Gulf South Conference), while the Flames improve to 15-13 (9-8 GSC).
 
UAH had eight hits in the contest but would leave eight on base, while Lee had 11 hits in the game.
 
The top of the Charger lineup was once again solid, as Shelby Booker was 2-for-3 with an RBI, while both Kaylee Vaught and Kiara Akles also had a hit to give the 1-2-3 positions half of UAH's for the game.
 
Vaught's hit was a double.
 
Lila Young matched Booker with a pair of hits as she was 2-for-2.
 
Akles started the game in the circle and was charged with the loss.
 
Lee opened the scoring with a run in the first and added three in the second, and after a scoreless third, the hosts tacked on two more tallies to take a 6-0 lead through the first four innings.
 
Vaught then led off the top of the fifth with a double before Booker singled her in to make it 6-1, but the Flames then had a three-run homer in the bottom frame to end the game with the 9-1 final.
 
The Chargers will be back in action on Wednesday when the team welcomes Montevallo to Charger Park for a non-conference tilt. That doubleheader is slated for a 2 p.m. start.
