🔼 Strong Start. Softball had its first game of the season against Charleston Southern and had a huge double-digit win. The Pirates gained their first dub with an 11-1 win. Emma Jackson touched home plate three times, Annie Katie Dalton and Morgan Johnson did twice and Hannah Evans, Logan Sutton, Anna Sawyer and Joie Fittante each did once. Jackson had two home runs and Fittante had one. This win marked head coach Shane Winkler’s 400th career win.
