Bucs drop pair of non-conference contests

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (March 30, 2022) – ETSU Softball dropped a pair of 4-0 decisions to USC Upstate on Wednesday afternoon at Cyrill Stadium in Spartanburg, S.C.  

Game 1: USC Upstate 4, ETSU 0
Game one proved to be a pitchers’ duel between Allison Farr (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Hannah Houge. However, it was Houge who came out on top with a 4-0 victory in game one.

Both teams mustered together just three hits apiece, but Celeste Delorenzo’s hit was the punishing blow for ETSU as it was a bases-loaded grand slam in the bottom of the sixth inning to push the Spartans ahead, 4-0.

Houge would ensure that score remained, despite a late rally from ETSU. Cameron Young (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Sara Muir (Sequatchie, Tenn.) recorded two of the team’s three hits in the top of the seventh inning. However, the Bucs could not cut into the deficit.
