Despite making four errors through the first three innings, George Washington took a 4-3 lead into the bottom of the sixth inning against Saint Louis in the opening round of the 2007 Atlantic 10 Tournament.
A pair of late home runs from GW's Colleen Kegler and Hilary King capped the Colonial comeback effort. Kegler's fifth inning blast tied the game at three and King's shot gave GW the lead.
Junior Lisa Cohen could not hold the lead, however. Annie Dillinger led off the SLU half of the sixth with an infield single. After a sacrifice bunt and a fly out, SLU coach John Conway decided to send a pinch hitter up for Brittney Schmidt. Jenna Renner homered to left field to give the Billikens the lead.
SLU held on in the top of the seventh, advancing to the second round. The Billikens will play Fordham tomororw at 2 p.m.
GW and Charlotte are currently under way. A loss for either team eliminates them from the competition.
