Softball Splits Games on First Day of Beach Chicken Brawl

CONWAY,  S.C. – The Saint Joseph's softball team was able to get its trip to South Carolina started on Saturday, splitting a pair of games at the Beach Chicken Brawl. The Hawks beat Binghamton 10-7 in their first contest before falling 6-4 to Coastal Carolina in the evening game.

The freshman trio of Lauren Stalica, Elissa Hasapis and Grace Brown all drove in runs in the frame before Riley York delivered the big blow, a bases loaded double.
