March 25, 2023 | Softball
CHARLESTON, S.C. - Gardner-Webb dropped game two of its series with Charleston Southern 4-2 Saturday.
Â
Adrienne Visintine hit a leadoff single to start the game and Ella Christopher batted her over on a groundout to short. Andrea Lyon hit the first pitch she saw to right field in for a double that scored Visintine.
Â
Charleston Southern scored a run as well to tie the game 1-1 heading into the second.
Â
The next three innings saw no scoring for either team, and it remained even at 1 until the top of the fifth.
Â
In the fifth, Abbey Goodrum hit a leadoff double down the left field line. Annicka McLaughlin singled to left field and moved Goodrum to third. With runners on second and third, Adrienne Visintine reached on a fielder's choice that scored Goodrum and made it 2-1.
Â
In the bottom of the inning, however, the Buccaneers scored two runs to take the lead. They added a run in the sixth and took game two of the series.
Â
Visintine hit a single and had one RBI. Lyon hit a double and also had an RBI. Goodrum hit a double, Emily Garcia hit a single, and McLaughlin added two singles in three at-bats.
Â
Kalyn Kyle started in the circle for Gardner-Webb in game two. She struck out two batters in five innings pitched before Alli Stidham took over in the sixth.
Â
Towards the end of game two, heavy rain started to pick up and left the field in unplayable conditions for game three.
Â
After attempting to wait things out, both sides agreed to reschedule the tiebreaker for a later date.
Â
Gardner-Webb will shift its focus to Winthrop. The Runnin' Bulldogs will host the Eagles for a doubleheader Saturday, April 1 at 3:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. from Boiling Springs. Â
