The Seton Hall softball team headed south to Boiling Springs, N.C. to begin its 2017 season. In the first two games of a three-game series of the Gardner Webb tournament, the Pirates beat Hampton, 15-1, and Bucknell, 18-8.
Game one of the weekend went as well, as the Pirates defeated Hampton University 11-1. Seton Hall got on the board in the top of the first via a Darby Pandolfo double, which drove home starting pitcher Lauren Fischer. The game was broken open in the second inning when the Pirates took a 6-0 lead, due to Noel Lent’s RBI double and Lauren Fischer’s two-run home run to center field.
