WVSU Softball Snaps 11 Game Skid with Split to Wesleyan

ELKVIEW, W.Va. -- West Virginia State's softball team split with the West Virginia Wesleyan Bobcats on Saturday afternoon at Herbert Hoover High School, falling in game one 9-0 in a run-rule shortened five inning game, before rallying and taking game two 8-1, WVSU's first victory since March 21. The doubleheader was moved to Herbert Hoover following some local rain that rendered WVSU's home field unplayable.
