Softball Falls to Maryville College

Wesleyan College faced a tough day at the plate, overwhelmed by the pitching of Maryville College junior Sarah Reeder. Reeder threw a one-hit shutout in a 17-0 win in the first game of the day and a two-hit shutout in a 26-0 win in game two.

Kayla Lumley, Ashley Jackson and DiAsia Rodgers each picked up hits on the afternoon, but the Pioneers could not string enough offense together to produce runs.

Maryville improved to 8-2 in the Great South Athletic Conference, while Wesleyan drops to 1-11.

The Pioneers return to action on Monday, April 18 when they travel to Brenau for a doubleheader beginning at 5:00pm.  They will close out the regular season at home on Wednesday with another doubleheader against Spelman College.  First pitch is at 5:00pm.
