CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Queens softball team returned to the friendly confines of Park Road Park today for the first time in over a month. Facing off against the Cavaliers of UVA-Wise the Royals split the doubleheader, dropping the first game 8-3 and rebounding with an 8-5 victory in game two.
The first game remained knotted at zeros for the first three innings before the visitors were able to knock in four runs. The Royals countered with two runs of their own the bottom half of the inning when Kaitlyn Cheek and Amanda Meade each picked up an RBI hits.
The game returned to a holding pattern for the next two innings before the Cavaliers knocked in four more runs in the top of the seventh. Down six the Royals tried to crawl their way back into the game, but were only able to pick up one run off a Kaitlyn Bodine single.
Bodine led the Royals in the game with three hits, and was joined with multiple trips to the base paths by Meade who ended the game with two hits.
In game two the Royals jumped to an early 1-0 lead in the second off a Jasmyn Lindsay double. While the visitors did add a run in the fourth the Royals answered right back in the bottom of the inning to make the score 3-1.
While the Cavaliers continued to pick at the Royals lead, Queens put together a monster five run sixth to give themselves the decisive advantage and make the score 8-3. While the Cavaliers did add two more runs in the seventh, it was too little too late.
Meade led the Royals with three hits in the game, and Cheek pitched in with two of her own. Lyndey McCurry went the whole game in the circle and only allowed seven hits while striking out four.
The Royals are now 10-8 on the season and host Lincoln Memorial on Saturday.
