JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Presbyterian College softball team engaged in their second straight doubleheader on Saturday evening at the Jacksonville Spring Break Challenge, unable to slow down Georgia Southern (5-4) or North Florida (5-0).

PC took on GSU less than 24 hours earlier in an 8-0 result and led the Eagles by a 4-1 count in the rematch, although they'd fall victim to a walk-off double.

The Scotsmen are now 11-13 overall and have played a very tough non-conference schedule, as both Peyton Duncan and Kylie Rast pitched complete games on Saturday.

10:00 AM tomorrow will signal the end of Presby's busy weekend in Florida, going head-to-head with Sun Belt rep Southern Miss in what will be the first-ever encounter between the two schools.


 
GAME ONE – Georgia Southern def. Presbyterian, 5-4

 
- Both sides were even at one apiece going into the 5^th inning of the Georgia Southern affair, with PC capitalizing on an early error and GSU scoring an RBI-single.

- Head coach David Williams' crew caught fire against Eagles' pitcher Kayle Croft near the midway point, reaching back-to-back doubles by Avery Robinson and Morgan Farthing before Avery Fielden then drew a bases-loaded walk.

- That put your new score at 4-1 Blue Hose, although Georgia Southern would inch a bit closer in the 6^th with two doubles of their own to pull within one.

- Demere Gray would bring home Brooke Kell and Emma Davis in the last frame to turn the potential loss into an Eagle win. Duncan threw 159 pitches in the setback, striking out five.


 
GAME TWO – North Florida def. Presbyterian, 5-0
 

- Presbyterian doubled twice more against a formidable foe that came into the afternoon at 21-5 (Hali Duke and Blair Darby were the ones to do so), but the Ospreys kept PC off the board for the full seven.

- Rast did an admirable job versus an adversary that ranked 16^th in the latest D1Softball.com mid-major poll, seeing 31 batters and conceding just two runs in the last four innings.

- UNF's Hannah Davila opened up the scoring with a bases-clearing double in the 3^rd, and the home side would pick up a pair of insurance runs later on with a sacrifice fly and a base hit.

- Centerfielder Gracie DeCuir managed a two-out single in the 7^th as PC tried to start a rally, but the next batter flew out to complete North Florida's clean sheet.
