LAGRANGE, Ga. - The Piedmont College softball team split with LaGrange on the road Saturday with a 7-0 win in game one while taking a 5-3 loss in game two. The loss in game two marks the first loss in conference play for the Lady Lions this season. 

In game one, MELISSA ECKMAN made it easy on the offense as she stifled the Panthers allowing no runs on five hits through seven innings pitched. Eckman also struck out seven batters.

Game two saw Piedmont get off to a quick start scoring two runs in the top of the first, but LaGrange would answer back with two of their own in the bottom of the frame to end the first tied at two. The Panthers led 3-2 after the third inning but this time it was Piedmont that would answer in the top of the fourth. 

Two walks and a single loaded the bases for JESSICA BAGWELL who singled to score one run and tie the game once again at three. 

The Panthers scored a pair of runs off BECCA EDDINS as she pitched 2.1 innings of relief work with a run scored in each the fifth and sixth innings.
