Pacers Split Doubleheader At North Greenville

TIGERVILLE, S.C. – The University of South Carolina Aiken softball team split a pair of games at North Greenville, winning 6-4 before falling 11-2.

The Pacers are now 10-4 on the season.

Head coach Jerry Snyder's team was led by Kateyln Powell's three-hit performance in the opener while Brooke Moore and Courtney Strauss each plated two RBI.

In game one, the Crusaders led 4-0 and pushed across a run in the fourth. Strauss singled to right field, Shircoria Bosket crossed home plate. The Pacers tied the game in the fifth. Moore ripped a double to the gap, scoring Samantha Aring and Katelyn Powell. Aring reached on an error before Powell rocketed a double to right center field. With Moore on third, Strauss ripped a single through the left side, allowing Moore to trot home.

In the eight, the international tiebreaker rule put Strauss on second base. She moved to third on a groundout by Sarah Sams. Holly Daum reached on a sacrifice bunt and moved to second on the throw as Strauss crossed home. Two batters later, Powell singled in Daum for the 6-4 lead.

Caroline Cockrell went the distance, allowing three earned runs on nine hits. She struck out six while picking up the victory.

USC Aiken fell behind 7-0 in game two through five innings, but Snyder's squad plated two runs in the sixth frame. Savannah Drozda came in as a pinch hitter and singled before moving to second on a single from Strauss. With two down, Maci Hutto ripped a single up the middle, plating both Pacers.

The Crusaders plated four runs in the bottom of the inning to invoke the run rule.

The Pacers return to action Wednesday when they host Benedict in a doubleheader starting at 2 p.m. Live stats and video will be available at PacerSports.com.
