Box Score ITTA BENA -- The Memphis softball team held on for a 2-1 win over Mississippi Valley State Wednesday after 10 innings and nearly two and a half hours.

Valley's Nicole Burr hit a game-extending homerun in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game at 1. And it took until the 10th inning, using the international tie-breaker rule, for either team to score again.

The Tigers (21-29) scored what turned out to be the game-winning run in the top of the 10th inning when Lelani Bernardino hit an RBI-triple.

In the bottom of the 10th, two MVSU players struck out and Brittany Lily was caught at third base.

Alicia Lorenz (7-14) pitched the entire game for the Devilettes. She gave up one earned run on eight hits with five strikeouts.

Memphis' Ellen Roberts (12-19) gave up one hit with a pair of strikeouts in two innings of work.

MVSU will be at Jackson State Friday and Saturday. They'll play a single game Friday at 1 p.m. and a doubleheader Saturday at noon.
