BIG SPRING —Even an ace will eventually run out of gas and in the case of Stamford standout Emma Follis, that point came in Game 3 of a Region I-2A DII semifinal against a powerhouse club from Sundown in an 11-3 loss. 

Follis, who was effective in a 4-3 Game 1 loss and in a 5-3 Game 2 win, was unable to maintain her level of movement and velocity in her third start in three days. 

Led by Brynly Gregory, who had a two-run homer and Nayleen Morin, who was 2-for-4 with a double, triple and two RBIs, the Roughettes (30-5) touched Ellis for 11 runs (seven earned) on 12 hits through seven innings, six of which went for extra bases. 

Eight of Sundown‘s hits game in the final three frames — the 19th, 20th and 21st innings of work for Follis in the three-day series at Lady Steer Field.
