The Piedmont College softball team split a pair of games this afternoon at the 2007 Great South Athletic Conference Tournament in Maryville, TN defeating sixth-seeded Spelman College 12-0 but then falling to second-seeded LaGrange College 7-0. The third-seeded Lady Lions capitilized on four SC errors that led to 10 unearned runs but committed six errors themselves against LC which led to three unearned runs.

Against Spelman Leah Della Torre led the offense going 1-2 with a pair of RBI's and a run scored. On the mound Michelle Broderick threw a complete game shutout striking out seven while walking none.

Against LaGrange the Panthers scored in all but two innings on offense and cruised to the seven-run victory. Six Lady Lions recorded single hit days at the plate while Meredith Ray suffered the loss going six innings allowing eight hits and four earned runs.

PC now stands at 19-20 overall. The women will return to the field tomorrow in an elimination game against fifth-seeded Wesleyan College beginning at 9:00.
