PC Downs Dayton, Falls To Charleston Southern In Low Country Invite Title Game

CHARLESTON, S.C. - The Blue Hose softball team netted a 3-2 win to beat Dayton in the day's opening game before falling to Charleston Southern by a 9-1 margin. 

Morgan Durham led PC at the plate with a 3-for-5 performance while Taylor Staten went 3-for-6 at the dish with a run batted in. 

The Blue Hose scored all three of their runs in the first inning by sending eight batters to the plate.  The runs came off three hits and two errors in the frame. 

PC pitcher Mary Gordon earned her third win of the season by going six and a third innings, allowing two runs and scattering five hits in the outing.  She fanned four Flyer batters in the game.  Leslie Hensley came in for the final two outs in the seventh and retired the Dayton side on strike to claim her first save of the season. 

The win secured PC a spot in the Low Country Invite finale against hosts Charleston Southern.
