SOFTBALL: FALCONS SOAR

FAIRMONT STATE TAKES TWO GAMES FROM CU

The Concord softball team's weekend trip to northern West Virginia came to an end with a doubleheader loss at WVIAC rival Fairmont State Sunday afternoon.  CU dropped both games by an 8-0 score, in five innings.

GAME ONE
BOXSCORE / PLAY-BY-PLAY

Whitney Carrigan, Hit By Pitch
The host Falcons took command with a five-run 2nd inning, fueled by five consecutive two-out hits, highlighted by Holly Frampton's two-run double.

Sarah Parson's two-run homer in the 3rd pushed the Falcons' lead to 7-0.  FSU closed out the game on the eight-run rule on back-to-back doubles by Rachel Harris and Terri Lynn Wolfe.

Stephanie Harper had two of CU's four hits off FSU starting pitcher Nikki Nuzum, who struck out seven in getting the win.


GAME TWO
BOXSCORE / PLAY-BY-PLAY

Fairmont State scratched out a run in the bottom of the 1st on Abbey Wilson's sacrifice fly.  The 1-0 score held until the 4th, when Wilson struck again with a two-run homer that was the centerpiece of a three-run rally.

The Falcons won again on the run rule after a four-run rally in the 5th, after a two-run single by Carly Mundie and a two-run double from Erica Aversa.


Up next for Concord (13-19, 2-6) is an eight-game homestand, starting with a WVIAC doubleheader against Davis & Elkins on Tuesday, April 3.  First pitch is scheduled for 3:00 pm at the CU softball complex in Athens.
