Softball Splits Doubleheader with Pfeiffer

Softball Splits Doubleheader with Pfeiffer

ANDERSON, S.C. -- For the second time in as many days, the Anderson softball team split a Conference Carolinas' doubleheader, winning the first game of the twinbill versus Pfeiffer, 5-2, and dropping the second game 3-2. Anderson moved to 17-13 overall and 7-3 in league play, while the Falcons' record went to 16-26 and 6-10. The opener saw the Trojans looking at a 2-0 deficit going into the bottom of the fourth inning when a Cameron White double tied the game at two, as the junior recorded her seventh and eight RBI on the season, driving in Kinsley Durham and Amber Duncan. Sophomore Amber Sutherland followed with a single that put the Trojans ahead 3-2. Senior Meredith Knox led off the fifth inning with a solo home run off the scoreboard in deep center field, her sixth on the season. Two batters later Amber Duncan hit her seventh homer of the season, another solo home run that put the Trojans up 5-2. Senior pitcher Katie Van Gieson completed the game for the Trojans, giving up just two runs on eight hits. It was her fifth complete game on the season, and second in two outings, and boosted her record to 5-1. The Falcons led the nightcap 3-0 going into the fifth inning until a two-out single by Sutherland paved the way for an Elisa Sebastyan home run, the senior's seventh home run on the season. In the sixth inning, Duncan posted a two-out double, but the Trojans were unable to capitalize. In the bottom of the seventh inning Sutherland hit a two-out single, becoming the tying run. Sebastyan then hit a ball that carried out into right-center field and looked as if it would be an RBI-single, but Falcons center fielder Bryttny Kreshka made a diving catch that sealed the win for Pfeiffer. The Trojans take the field again on Wednesday for a conference doubleheader against Queens University. The first game is set to get underway at 3 pm at Smether's field.
