Peace Softball Falls to Keuka College 2-4

Raleigh, NC – The Peace College softball team dropped to Keuka College today in a single game 2-4 at Wachovia Athletic Park in the heart of downtown Raleigh, on the campus of Peace College.

The Pacers picked up two runs in the bottom of the first inning and would not score again. Holly Braswell doubled for an RBI bringing in Summer Evans who had reached on an error by the pitcher and then picked up a stolen base to advance to second. Ashley Stansbury picked up an RBI driving in Lauren Pleasant to put Peace up 2-0 but was thrown out at first. It looked as if Peace had the game won until the top of the seventh inning when Keuka scored four runs on two hits and four Peace errors. Kenni Seagroves was the only Peace player with two hits, going 2 for 3 on the day. Seagroves picked up a single in the bottom of the second inning and sent a shot up the middle for a single in the last chance effort in the bottom of the seventh. Stansbury was credited with the loss, dropping to 6-7 for the season from the mound.

Peace fell to 17-11 overall and will resume USA South Conference action on Thursday, hosting the Battling Bishops from NC Wesleyan for a double header starting at 3:00 pm.
