Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

BREVARD, N.C. – Kaitlyn White finished with seven hits to help lead the University of South Carolina Aiken softball team to a doubleheader split with Brevard in non-conference action on Wednesday afternoon at BC Softball Field.

USC Aiken picked up a 6-0 win in game one before falling 5-2 in game two.

The first game was knotted at 0-0 until the top of the fourth inning when USC Aiken's Lindsey Jones (North Augusta, S.C./North Augusta HS) scored on a single through the left side by Victoria Burkett (Gilbert, S.C./Gilbert HS). Jones had arrived on base via a single of her own.

The Pacers would then add two more runs in the top of the fifth.

USC Aiken would score its fourth run of the first game in the top of the sixth when White (Columbia, S.C./College of Charleston) doubled in Brandy Bossle (North East, Md./Rising Sun HS), who had singled earlier in the inning.

The Pacers would add their final two runs in the top of the seventh to secure the six-run shutout victory.

India Kornegay (Eufaula, Ala./Eufaula HS) tied the school record for wins with her 19th victory of the year in game one. Kornegay (19-8) struck out eight in her complete game performance. The reigning Peach Belt Conference Pitcher of the Week allowed only five hits.

Already the all-time leader in the category in school history, Whitney Clary (Newberry, S.C./Newberry HS) broke her own single-season record in sacrifice hits with her 19th sacrifice of the year in the fifth inning of game one

No Brevard player was able to secure multiple hits.

Kornegay pitched the final 5.2 innings of the game, fanning four.

Kornegay's 12 strikeouts over the course of the day allowed her to tie Samantha Blair (2004-07) for the most strikeouts in school history with 437.

Alyssa Miller pitched the first four innings to claim the win for Brevard in game two. She is now 8-8 on the year. She also led Brevard at the dish in the game, obtaining three of Brevard's five hits in game two.
