KING'S SOFTBALL SPLITS ON FINAL DAY OF SALISBURY TOURNEY
SALISBURY, MD -- Julie Bidwell hit a game-winning two-run home run in the sixth inning to lead the King's College softball team to a 3-1 victory over host Salisbury University to salvage a split on the final day of the Seagull Invitational Tournament Saturday in Salisbury, Md.
King's, which dropped a 4-3 decision to Christopher Newport in its first game of the day, went 4-4 in the two-day event and stands at 7-5 on the year.
With the game tied 1-1 in the sixth inning, Kelsey Shreaves would single. Two batters later Bidwell would belt the decisive home run over the right field fence to push across what would prove to be the game-winning runs.
Amanda Rizner picked up the complete-game victory for King's, allowing just five hits in seven innings of work. Bidwell finished the game by going 2-for-3 with three RBI while Shreaves finished the game with a 2-for-3 effort.
In the opener, Mari Valonis led King's by going 2-for-4 with an RBI double. Shreaves was 1-for-3, including a solo home run. She also took the pitching loss, allowing all four runs, three that were earned, on 11 hits.
