Softball Gains First Conference Win, Splits with Bishops

Raleigh, N.C. - The Meredith softball team opened home conference play hosting N.C. Wesleyan on Tuesday. The teams split the series with Meredith winning game one and N.C. Wesleyan game two.

Game 1: Meredith 4, N.C. Wesleyan 3 - Meredith (11-9, 1-3 USA South) got on the board first. Kirstin Morris led off with a double and was moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Brittney Tucker. Olivia Izze then hit a sacrifice fly to center field to score Morris.

Catcher Andrea Jarman added another run on a solo blast to left-center field in the bottom of the second inning.

The Avenging Angels weren't done scoring with two more in the third inning. Ashley Braswell had a one out double and was followed by singles from Arielle Stout and Sara Cranford to load the bases. Two runs scored on a error by N.C. Wesleyan's left fielder on a pop fly by Kayla Walker.

N.C. Wesleyan (10-7,3-3) added two in the fourth and one in the fifth, but it wasn't enough. Amanda Beirne (4-3) gained her fourth win and Lauriel Lebeau gained her first save on the year.

Game 2 : N.C. Wesleyan 2, Meredith 0 - The game stayed scoreless until the top of the third when N.C. Wesleyan scored two on an error and a walk. Those two runs would be enough to give N.C. Wesleyan the 2-0 victory.
