ANDERSON, S.C. -- The Anderson softball team (20-14 overall, 10-4 Conference Carolinas) faced first-place Limestone College (20-14 overall, 13-3 CC) on Saturday in a doubleheader, dropping the first game 11-5 and stealing the second game 3-1 in eight innings. In the first game, Katie Van Gieson took the mound for the Trojans. After a three-up three-down first inning it looked like the senior could have a shot to grab her seventh win on the season until the Saints struck in the second inning, posting five runs off four hits and a Trojan error. In the bottom half of the second inning Cameron White drove Kasey King home as she singled to add her RBI total to 12 on the season. Limestone went into the third inning with a 5-1 advantage and further padded its lead as Kirstyn Burleson hit a towering three-run home run over the left field fence. The home run not only increased the Saints lead to 8-1, but would also knock the Trojans pitcher out of the game. In the bottom of the third inning a combination of two singles from King and Amber Duncan and a Limestone error enabled Anderson to tack on two more runs to trail Limestone 8-3. Donya Cobb came into the game for the Trojans, posting up zeros on the scoreboard, until the seventh inning when Burleson hit her second home run of the game, a three-run laser that sailed over the center field wall. In the bottom half of the seventh the Trojans mounted a comeback as Meredith Knox hit a two-run bomb over the left field wall with no outs, the senior's eighth home run on the season. Starting pitcher Emily Wallace would seal the deal for conference leading Limestone as she finished up the inning with two strikeouts. Van Gieson (6-2) went two innings, giving up five runs off of four hits. In relief, Donya Cobb came in to pitch the last five innings giving up three runs off eight hits. In the second game of the doubleheader pitchers Casey Deer and Leah Quant combined to put straight zeros on the scoreboard, going into extra innings. In the top of the eighth inning, with a runner automatically placed on second base, Jordan Smith hit a single to drive in the first run of the game to put Limestone up 1-0. In the bottom of the eighth, with Kinsley Durham automatically placed on second base, Cameron White moved the senior over to third. During the next at bat, pinch hitting Lora Daniel hit a single to drive in Durham and tie the game 1-1, the senior's eighth RBI on the season. One batter later, Elisa Sebastyan stepped up to the plate with one runner on and two outs, and with one crack of the bat hit a soaring ball that sailed over the left field fence to give the Trojans the walk-off win 3-1. The shot was the senior's eighth home run on the season. Deer (7-5) went eight innings for the complete game, allowing just one run off of four hits. The Trojans take the field again on Sunday as they face conference foe Barton College. The first game of the doubleheader is scheduled to start at 1 pm at Smethers' field.
