Spring has returned to Bluffton, bringing the Lady Pirates back to the
softball diamond and the W's back to a veteran squad, as the ladies
tally up two wins in the opening week of the season.
Bluffton 3 McComb 1
The Lady Pirates traveled to McComb for the season opener on Monday and came away with a tough 3-1 win. Senior Ashlin Gable knocked in the first RBI for the Pirates with a single to right field. Pirate DH Tori Halcomb quickly added an RBI double to put the ladies up 2-0 in the top of the third.
