Bloomsburg Softball Sweeps Pair of Games on Sunday
FLORENCE, SC-The Bloomsburg University softball team won two games on Sunday at the Francis Marion Tournament in Florence, South Carolina. The Huskies beat Francis Marion, 3-2, in nine innings, then beat North Carolina Central, 7-1.
The two wins move Bloomsburg coach Jan Hutchinson to within seven victories of becoming the all-time leader in NCAA Division II softball wins. Hutchinson now has 1,005 for her career as she chases former Augustana coach Sandy Gerstad for the all-time lead.

In game two, the Huskies scored twice in the first and added three more runs in the second to open a 5-0 lead. Tara Reed (Williamsport/Williamsport) had the big hit in the second inning blasting a three-run homer. Melissa Bachert (Coplay/Parkland) also added a solo homer for Bloomsburg, while Sheelin Fisher (Coplay/Allentown Central Catholic) went the distance pitching striking out eight.
