BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – The Gardner-Webb University softball team earned a three-game series sweep of Big South foe Presbyterian College on Sunday afternoon by a final score of 6-3. The Runnin' Bulldogs battled to comeback from two runs down to defeat the Blue Hose in the crucial conference series.
 
In the bottom of the first, Araceli Pesqueira doubled to score Adrienne Vistintine providing an initial 1-0 lead. PC got three across on a single and a double in the second inning going ahead 3-1. Following some defensive changes in the top of the third, GWU tied the game as Visinintine reached home on a wild pitch, and an Ella Christopher single. Visintine went on to single in the fourth scoring Emily Garcia for the game winning run. Christopher doubled in the fifth bringing home a pair of insurance runs. Kalyn Kyle got the win, and Kasey Wolfe the loss.
 
"It was a great team effort today.", said coach Wigness. "We have 25 players on this roster and we aren't afraid to use them. We try to find the best possible offensive and defensive combination that will put us in position to win. Every player was ready and prepared when their number was called. Kalyn Kyle was phenomenal closing today. It was fun to sweep, and was the first Big South sweep since I've been here. I am so proud of this team."
 
Following the game Gardner-Webb Softball honored their six graduating seniors, Adrienne Visintine, Andrea Lyon, Elle Doolittle, Mackenzie Freeman, Kayliegh Nicholson, and Sydney Gilbert
 
"Our senior class has been absolutely amazing.", Wigness added. "Whether they've been here for one year or five years, they have all left this program better than they found it. We will be successful for years to come because of what they have built here. We sure will miss them but I am excited to see where the next phase of life takes them. They will all be very successful in whatever they choose."
 
Gardner-Webb will wrap up their regular season schedule on Wednesday, May 1 at 6:00 p.m. at Wofford College.
