Softball Rallies But Drops Doubleheader At Francis Marion

FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion registered 10 hits and capitalized on a trio of UNC Pembroke errors, as the Patriots took the opening game 7-1 at the FMU Softball Stadium on Saturday afternoon. 
 
FMU put up eight runs in the bottom of the third inning of game two, but a Jai Deese grand slam in the top of the fourth inning kept UNCP in the game. The Braves tallied 11 hits, but stranded eight runners, as the hosts completed the sweep with a 12-6 victory.
