LMU Softball Team Sweeps to Win Bearcat Classic

 

Lander, SC – The Lincoln Memorial University softball team flexed some muscle Friday and Saturday afternoon by traveling to Lander, South Carolina and running the table to win the Bearcat Classic hosted by Lander University.

 

The Lady Railsplitters opened the weekend on Friday afternoon with an impressive 7-0 win over Erskine College and then moved to 2-0 with a 6-4 win over host Lander University in the final game of the day.

 

On Saturday morning the Lady Splitters again opened the day’s play with a shutout, this time blanking the Bearcats 3-0 before returning to the field later in the afternoon to drop Erskine for the second time in as many days 7-3.

 

Aside from winning all four games this weekend, the Lady Railsplitter wins move their team record above the .500 mark at 7-6 on the year with their next outing set for Tuesday in Bristol, Tennessee, against Virginia Intermont College.  The double-header with the Cobras is set for 2:00 p.m.
