SPARTANBURG, S.C. — The Carson-Newman softball team picked
up a pair of wins on Friday in the Mid-South Classic, as the Lady
Eagles opened the day with a 6-1 victory over Georgia College
before defeating East Stroudsburg, 2-1, in eight innings in the
nightcap.
With the wins, C-N improves to 12-2 on the season. Georgia College
falls to 8-13 overall, while East Stroudsburg drops to 1-5.
In the first game, starting pitcher Ashley Boyd (Chattanooga,
Tenn.) led the Lady Eagles to a 6-1 victory with her arm and her
bat.
Boyd (7-0) earned the win in the circle after giving up one run and
four hits and striking out three batters in seven innings of work.
She also drove in the decisive runs in the third inning with the
game tied at 1-1 as she launched a two-run home run to left
field.
Boyd finished the contest with a pair of hits and three RBIs, while
Whitney Kee (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Kim Whaley (Maryville, Tenn.)
added two hits apiece in the win.
Georgia College starting hurler Haley Burnett (5-7) was tagged with
the loss. Burnett surrendered three runs on four hits and walked
three batters in 2 1/3 innings of work.
In game two, Whaley came through in the clutch for the Lady Eagles
as she delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the eighth
inning that drove in Ashlee Dillard (Roanoke, Va.) for the winning
run.
Sophomore Mary Shealy (Clinton, S.C.) turned in a stellar effort in
the circle to pick up the win. Shealy (4-2) worked all eight
innings, gave up just two hits and struck out six batters.
The Lady Eagles return to action in the Mid-South Classic on
Saturday, as they will face Coker at 10 a.m. before closing out the
day against Fairmont State at 2 p.m.
