BELMONT, N.C. -- The Anderson softball team (22-16 overall, 12-6 Conference Carolinas) split their third straight conference doubleheader on Tuesday, falling to Belmont Abbey (20-24, 11-9) in the first game 4-1, and winning the second match-up, 2-0. In the first game, Belmont Abbey struck first in the opening inning when three singles propelled them to a 1-0 lead. The Trojans matched the score in the third inning, which was started off by a Meredith Knox single. The next batter, Emily Monteith, hit another single and a fielding error allowed Knox to score. In the bottom half of the third inning, a lead-off single, followed by a stolen base, allowed the Crusaders to again notch a single run on the scoreboard and retake the lead. Belmont Abbey would keep the Trojans offense in check for the remainder of the match up, allowing AU to record two hits but score no runs in the final four innings of play. Casey Deer (8-6) pitched a complete game for the Trojans, giving up four runs off 10 hits. Elisa Sebastyan and Monteith both went two-for-three. In game two, Katie Van Gieson (7-3) pitched brilliantly as she got back on track, shutting out the Crusaders. The same went for Kim Anders, the freshman pitcher who took the mound for Belmont Abbey, as the righty only gave up one earned run off three hits. Zero's filled the scoreboard until the seventh inning, which started out with Kinsley Durham reaching on an error by Belmont Abbey. Cameron White walked two batters later to put base runners on at second and third. With two outs, Elisa Sebastyan singled to score Durham and put the Trojans up 1-0. The next batter, Montieth, singled to bring home White to give the Trojans the 2-0 lead. The Trojans take the field again on Wednesday as they take on Southern Wesleyan in a non-conference doubleheader. The first game will get underway at 5 pm at Smether's field.
