Buckhannon, W.Va.- After a long week of game postponing, the Bobcats softball team played the University of Charleston at home in a doubleheader series.

Charleston would get two runs in the top of the 2nd on two RBI singles. In the 3rd inning, a SAC fly would bring in another run. A two run home run in th 5th innings and a solo home run in the 6th would grow the Golden Eagle's lead to 6. Alyssa Rohr, Andie Dizon, and Gracey Arnold would collect the only hits for the Bobcats. Kelsi Brown would come in to pitch the last two innings allowing only 1 hit and 0 earned runs. 

Game 2: 

The Golden Eagles would strike fast in the top of the 1st inning having four runs come in to score. Some costly infield errors for Wesleyan allowed those runs to score in the 1st inning. A big moment in the game was bottom of the 5th inning. Alyssa Rohr would hit a single to start the inning off. Jenna Gomez would follow with a single putting runners on first and second with no outs. A walk from Sydney Leadbetter would later load the bases with 1 out. Gracey Arnold would rope a single to the right side scoring Alyssa Rohr to make it 1-4. Freshman, Emma Jackson would come to the dish and smash a ball over the left field fence for a grand slam and put the Bobcats infront, 5-4. Charleston would answer back in the top of the 6th with a RBI single to tie it at 5-5. In the top of the 7th inning, a 2 RBI single would put Charleston up 5-7.
