Softball Team Drops Doubleheader At Mississippi College

The Piedmont College softball team dropped a pair of close games to host Mississippi College this afternoon in Clinton, MS as part of the Lady Lions eight-game Spring Break Trip. MC won 2-0 and 3-2 over the Lady Lions marking the ninth straight victories for the host Lady Choctaws.

In game one, Mississippi College scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth inning which would be enough as the Lady Lions could not generate any offensive threats with only two hits in the game. Meredith Ray took the loss on the mound surrendering both runs on four hits.

In game two, the Lady Choctaws took the early lead with two runs in the second inning and another in the third inning for a quick 3-0 lead. Piedmont rallied with two runs in the fourth inning but went hitless the final three innings. Ray again suffered the loss on the mound.

Piedmont will take on Hendrix College in Conway, AR on Thursday, March 8th with first pitch scheduled for 2:00 CST.
