The softball team has struggled over the last two weeks, going 2-4 at home over spring break and 0-4 at home last week. The break didn't start on a positive note for North Greenville University as they hosted a doubleheader for Newberry College on Monday, March 5. The Crusaders lost both their games 1-0 and 3-1.
In game one, Ashley Warlick, sophomore psychology, handed over six hits and six strikeouts while taking the loss. Newberry scored the only run of the game in the fourth inning. With bases loaded and one out in the fifth inning, North Greenville threatened to take the lead, but the Indians maintained. Tia LaFreniere, freshman sport management, and Lindsey Eargle, sophomore sport management, each finished with two hits for the Crusaders.
In game two, Audrey Christmas, freshman undecided, allowed eight hits and struck out two as she took the loss. The Indians scored two runs in the first inning, but the Crusaders came back with a run in the third inning as Christina Shin, freshman business administration, arrived on an error and Bridget Watson, sophomore business administration, scored. Newberry got their last run in the sixth inning on an error.
Allison Bailey, freshman undecided, Lindsey Eargle, and Shannon Rainey, sophomore intercultural studies, all had hits for NGU.
Things were looking up for the softball team as they played host again, this time to St. Andrews Presbyterian College. The ladies acquired both victories in their doubleheader on Friday, March 9. They finished the first game 3-1 and the second game 7-0.
In the first game, Warlick pitched seven innings, giving up four hits while striking out six to pick up the win. Hope Brewer, freshman sport management, led the Crusaders going 2-4, scoring one run then batting in another. Rainey scored twice for the Crusaders as Lindsey Eargle went 2-3 with a single RBI and Watson added an additional RBI. NGU scored one run in each of the first, fourth, and sixth innings.
