Softball Splits Doubleheader With Catawba

PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke softball team scored all three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning and used a walkoff homerun from Emma Eckhart to defeat Catawba 3-2 in the opening game of the doubleheader on Wednesday at the UNCP Softball Field. 
 
The Braves scored in the first inning of game two to take an early lead, but the Indians would take a one-run lead heading into the bottom of the seventh inning. Marijo Wilkes sent one over the fence to send the game into extra innings, but Catawba would put up three runs in the top of the 10th inning to hang onto the victory.
