In the nightcap, Wesleyan scored twice in both the first and third innings to grab a 4-3 advantage. Tricia Velasco drove in three runs to spark the Pioneer offense. Agnes Scott answered in the fourth inning, taking advantage of six Pioneer errors in a 10-run frame which put the game out of reach. Velasco and Colleen DeGraff each collected a pair of hits for Wesleyan. Kayla Lumley took the loss despite hurling a complete game.

The Scotties (15-10, 8-6 GSAC) broke open a close game in the opener with a nine-run second inning. Freshman Tiffany Cain went 3-for-4 with four RBI to pace ASC. Shay Jones made her first career start in the circle, taking the loss but also led the Pioneers (4-15, 2-8) at the pate with a pair of hits.

Wesleyan returns to the field on Saturday when they travel to Piedmont College for another GSAC doubleheader.
