CLINTON, S.C. - Presbyterian College fell twice on Friday afternoon against Charleston Southern at the friendly confines. The doubleheader went to the Bucs via 1-0 and 11-1 scorelines. The loss drops PC to 13-11 on the season and 1-6 in league play while CSU improves to 19-19-1 and 3-4 in the Big South.

The first game was a pitcher's duel between CSU's Sondra Vetter and PC's Leslie Hensley. The Bucs got to Hensley early with a run in the first inning. The pitchers then went to work with each hurler working to blank the next 13 frames. Vetter held PC to just five hits including two off the bat of Taylor Staten.

Hensley scattered four hits and fanned five but the first inning run would deal her the loss to fall to 4-6 on the season. 

Friday's second game had a change of method but the same result. CSU tacked three on the board in the first stanza, five in the third and three more in the sixth to earn a run-rule victory over the Blue Hose. 

PC scratched the scoreboard in the second inning when Amanda Miller's single up the middle brought Brittany Howell around to score PC's lone run of the game. 

Mary Gordon got the start in the circle and went two and a third allowing five runs, four earned off seven hits. She struck out three in the outing and suffered her fourth loss of the season to fall to 6-4. 

On the offensive side, Rachel Hopper went 2-for-2 in the game and 3-for-5 on the day to take top honors at the plate. She accounted for two of PC's seven hits in the finale of the doubleheader.

PC returns to action on Saturday afternoon with a matinee series finale with the Bucs. The game starts at 1 p.m. from the PC Softball Complex and will be available live on the Big South Network as well as WLBG AM-860 and WLBG.com.
