Two big innings cause WVSU softball to drop a pair to #15 UC

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – WVSU's softball team fell behind early by large deficits in both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against nationally-ranked No. 15 University of Charleston and ended up falling 8-2 in game one, and 5-3 in game two.

UC opened the scoring in the game in the bottom of the second inning, scoring five runs on four hits. WVSU got a run back in the top of the third with an Autumn Thompson RBI single, scoring Emele Clark. 

UC restored their five run lead with a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning. 

Avery Contreras hit an RBI ground out in the top of the sixth to score pinch runner Sydney Shamblin. Two more runs for UC in the bottom of the sixth set the final score.
