Softball falls to Pfeiffer in non-conference doubleheade
Averett University softball lost a pair of games to non-conference foe Pfeiffer University on Wednesday. The Falcons won 5-0 and 9-0 (in five innings).
In the opener, Pfeiffer (5-1) put up two runs in the third on an RBI single and a sacrifice fly to left field. The Falcons then added three more runs in the fifth thanks to a two-run single and an RBI single.
Senior Lauren Nelson went 2-for-3 at the plate for Averett (2-2), which had just three hits in Game 1.
Junior Taylor Sullivan (1-1) pitched five innings, allowing just two earned runs on six hits and one walk. Freshman Hannah Zabik made her collegiate pitching debut with a scoreless sixth inning in the circle with one strikeout.
Pfeiffer, the favorite to win the USA South Athletic Conference, used a big second inning to grab momentum in Game 2. The Falcons plated six runs in that frame thanks to an RBI double, three RBI singles, a sacrifice fly and an error. Pfeiffer added three more runs in the fourth to pull away.
Senior Karsin Lee had Averett's lone hit in Game 2.
