Lady Bulldogs Softball Edges Paine College 11-9 to Earn First Win of the Season


RALEIGH, N.C. – Four Bowie State softball players had two hits each to help the Lady Bulldogs defeat Paine College 11-9 on Sundaymorning. The win sets the Lady Bulldogs record at 1-2 overall.

The Lady Bulldogs opened the game with four runs on three hits in the top of the 1st inning but left three on base. Paine’s Lady Lions answered with four runs of their own on three hits to end the first inning tied at 4-4.

Paine, a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, added one run in the second and three more runs in the third to double up Bowie State 8-4. The Lady Bulldogs went hitless in those two innings while the Lady Lions added five hits over the two frames.

The Bowie State bats came alive again in the top of the 4th inning, pounding out six hits and pushed four runs across the dish to knot the game at 8-all.

Paine’s Renee Pearsey belted a solo homer in the bottom of the 4th inning to shift the advantage back over to the Lady Lions at 9-8.

After two scoreless innings by both teams, the Lady Bulldogs plated three in the top of the 7th inning with a big leadoff triple by junior Cassandra Clayborne (Damascus, Md.) setting the table for the comeback.

Clayborne, senior Adria Lewis (Cumberland, Md.), junior Kiara Washington (Bowie, Md.) and freshman Hailey Bethke accounted for a pair of hits each for the Lady Bulldogs. Senior Mariela Hernandez (Del Rio, Texas) along with junior Megan Windsor (Upper Marlboro, Md.) and freshman Stefanie Ray (Damascus, Md.) recorded one hit apiece in the win.

Hernandez squared her season pitching record at 1-1, striking out eight over 5.2 innings. Windsor started the game and allowed five runs (three earned) on four hits while striking out one.
