No. 20 Marietta eliminated from NCAA Softball Tournament with 2-1 loss to No. 14 Salisbury
Lady Pioneers finish fourth in Fayetteville Regional

May 13, 2007
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — The No. 20 Marietta College softball team's magical season came to an end Sunday (May 13) morning with a 2-1, heartbreaking loss to No. 14 Salisbury (Md.) in game 12 of the 2007 NCAA Division III Fayetteville Regional, which was hosted by Methodist University (N.C.).

The Pioneers finished the year 34-12, which is the most successful season in school history. Marietta completely rewrote the record books and will go down in history as the first team to ever win a NCAA Tournament game. The Pioneers went 2-2 in the 2007 tournament.

In a game that originally began on Saturday evening but was suspended in the third due to rain, Salisbury was able to get out of a jam as play resumed and then scored two runs in the bottom of the third. Marietta rallied for one in the top of the seventh, but a leaping grab in center field saved the tying run from crossing the plate and ended the game with Salisbury winning 2-1.
