Softball Drops Home Opener to Tennessee Wesleyan

The Wesleyan College softball team dropped its home opener to Tennessee Wesleyan on Friday afternoon.

In the first game of the day, the Pioneers (0-4) picked up three hits in a 20-1 loss to the Bulldogs.  Ashley Jackson's single to the outfield plated Belle Thomas in the first inning, but Wesleyan struggled offensively for the remainder of the game.

In the day's second outing, Tennessee Wesleyan's Brittany Monday threw a five inning shutout on her way to a 20-0 victory for the Bulldogs (5-5).

The Pioneers return to action on Saturday, March 12 against Birmingham-Southern College at 2:00pm on the campus of Wesleyan College.
