SALISBURY, N.C. - Robyn Stanek's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh inning gave Mars Hill a walk-off 4-3 victory past Anderson in a 2013 Food Lion SAC Softball Tournament elimination game, held Friday at Salisbury Community Park.

Anderson slipped to 37-13 on the season, while Mars Hill improved to 25-15. Anderson, which was ranked fifth in the Southeast Region in the most recent NCAA ranking, will have its postseason fate determined on Sunday, May 5, when the NCAA unveils its seeding for the region. The Lions advanced to meet the loser of the Catawba/Tusculum matchup.

Anderson's Charlotte Sieber snapped a 2-2 tie in the top of the seventh inning with her third home run of the season, a solo shot beyond the fence in left-center, but Mars Hill answered by pushing across two runs in the bottom of the seventh to earn the victory.

Mars Hill capitalized on a pair of AU miscues to break through in the bottom of the first with a pair of unearned runs. Brittany Gibson reached on an infield single a came around to score on a fielder's choice after an AU throwing error. The Lions added another run on an error to make the score 2-0.

Anderson answered with a pair of runs in the second, as a Laura Jansky double and a Bri Cason walk put two runners on with no outs. Two batters later Sieber's two-run single scored both runners and knotted the score at two apiece.

The score remained knotted at 2-2 until Sieber's homer in the top of the seventh gave the Trojans a 3-2 lead. A leadoff walk drawn by Stephanie McGrath set up Mars Hill's rally in the seventh. McGrath came around to score on a throwing error off an Ashley McCurry sacrifice bunt attempt, with McCurry advancing all the way to third on the play. After a groundout, Stanek lifted a fly ball to left to score McCurry with the winning run.

Sieber finished 2-for-3 on the afternoon and drove in all three of the Trojans' runs, while Danielle Swygert added a pair of singles for AU. Stanek was credited with Mars Hill's lone RBI.

Junior Lauren Bell (20-6) absorbed the tough-luck loss for the Trojans, tossing 6 2/3 innings and gave up four runs (none earned), while striking out four and walking two.

Taylor Morris (12-5) earned the complete-game win for Mars Hill, giving up three earned runs and striking out six and walking two.
