The Presbyterian College softball team faced Furman in a doubleheader, securing a 5-1 victory in the first game but losing 7-6 in the second, marking their current record at 15-25 for the season. Junior pitcher Avery Robinson excelled in the opener, pitching a complete game without walking any batters and contributing to a strong finish with a scoreless sixth and seventh inning. The second game was marked by four lead changes, ultimately leading to a walk-off win for Furman despite a strong offensive showing by Presbyterian. Notably, Hali Duke's 18-game hitting streak ended in the first match, yet she still reached base multiple times throughout the day.

By the Numbers
  • Presbyterian had seven starters record at least one hit in Game One.
  • Avery Robinson recorded her sixth complete game, striking out a total of 13 batters over her last two starts.
State of Play
  • Presbyterian's current record is 15-25 after 40 games this season.

What's Next

Bottom Line
