Falcons and Crusaders Split Doubleheader; Pfeiffer Takes Game Two, 1-0

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

TIGERVILLE, S.C.- The Pfeiffer Falcons (19-13,  5-3 CC)  and the North Greenville Crusaders (15-11, 2-1 CC) played two close games on Friday as each team picked up a one run victory.  Pfeiffer pitcher Kennedy Lester factored in the decisions in both games as the sophomore picked up the win in game two as she pitched a complete game two hitter.

Game two's only run came in top of the fifth inning when Pfeiffer's Chandler Walker tripled but an errant throw by  Crusader right fielder, Kate Lee, allowed the unearned run to score.

In game two, Walker had two hits with an RBI, Anna Lauren Brafford added a double, Emma Tuttle and Jaclyn Boever also added hits for the Falcons.

In game one, the Crusaders got on the scoreboard first as they loaded the bases full in the bottom third. A  Megan  Johnson single back to Lester brought Christie Reilly home. Next batter, Lee singled to left center bringing in two more North Greenville runners.

In the top of the fourth inning, singles by Chandler Walker and Anna Lauren Brafford  started a Pfeiffer rally  and then next batter Jessica Jackson hit the ball back to the pitcher, but Carson O'Donald threw  the ball away allowing Walker to score on the errant throw.

After a single and steal by Vada Blue Sherrill in the top of the fifth inning, Kiana Millsaps doubled to left field cutting the lead to 3-2 as it scored from second base.

O'Donald pitched the final two scoreless innings as the Crusader starter finished the game complete game victory as she allowed seven hits and two runs.

Sherrill extended her on base streak to all 32 Falcon games. The freshman shortstop added three more stolen bases and now is tied for fourth all-time in a single season with 32.

The Falcons return to action on Tuesday as they travel to Converse to play in a Conference Carolinas double header that is scheduled for a 4:00 p.m. start.
