Greene Tosses Gem as PC Splits on Opening Day

CLINTON, S.C. – In her first collegiate start, Presbyterian College freshman Jenna Greene tossed a complete game one-hit shutout, as the Blue Hose opened the season with a 3-0 victory over Robert Morris on Friday afternoon at the Blue Hose Invitational.

HOW IT HAPPENED GAME 1
- Presbyterian jumped out to an early lead, as Lexi Palazzo drove in a run with a first-inning double.
- After a one-out triple in the third, RMU attempted to score the tying run on a ground ball back to Greene, but the freshman threw home and Lath Freeman tagged out Alaina York to keep the one-run edge intact.
- Greene allowed just one Robert Morris baserunner to reach second base over the remainder of the game, and set down the final seven batters she faced.
- PC tacked on two more in the fifth. Jaiden Tweed led off with a single, stole second, then scored on an error. Hunter Meadows scored Presbyterian's final run of the contest on a passed ball.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED GAME 2
- The Colonials plated a pair of runs in the opening inning.
- Kiley Kross launched a solo homer to left in the second, and Meadows scored the tying run in the third on an error.
- Robert Morris regained its two-run advantage with a two-run fourth, but PC drew back within one in the fifth, as Meadows raced home on a passed ball.
- The score remained 4-3 until the bottom of the seventh. With one out, Meadows singled, stole second, then came all the way around to score when the catcher's throw ended up in center field. Presbyterian put the winning run aboard, but left Kross stranded, pushing the game into extra innings.
- The Colonials plated three in the top of the eighth to once again go on top. Layna Johnson came around on an error, while Macy Hyatt brought in another run with a ground ball, to get PC within 7-6.
- The Blue Hose put the tying on base with two outs, but the rally stopped there, as RMU hung on for the doubleheader split.
