WILLIAMSTON – Heather Jackson had a couple of tough choices to make. A star athlete for the Williamston Tigers, the senior had to decide where she wanted to play collegiately. And she had to figure out what sport she wanted to play.
The affable, outgoing Jackson, an outstanding softball and volleyball player for the Tigers, decided to play softball at Pitt Community College.
Jackson said she was thrilled to join a strong Bulldogs’ program.
“I’m really excited about it,” said a smiling Jackson, who plans to be a special education elementary teacher. “I didn’t want to go far from home. I knew they had a good school and a good softball program.”
Jackson was joined at the signing, held last month inside the Williamston High School library, by her mother, Donna Bowen, and grandparents, Cubby and Carolyn Arnold.
Softball Games Moved to N.C. Wesleyan
(03/04/2010)
As a result of heavy rain earlier this week, today's Pitt Community College softball games have been moved to N.C. Wesleyan College in Rocky Mount.
PCC will play a scrimmage against N.C. Wesleyan at 1:30 p.m. At the conclusion of that game, PCC will face UMBC-Catonsville in a match originally scheduled to be played this afternoon at Sara Law Softball Complex.
The fields at Sara Law are currently unplayable as a result of this week's downpours.
Rain Postpones Today's Softball Games
(03/02/2010)
Rain this afternoon has led to the postponement of today's softball doubleheader between Pitt Community College and Wake Technical Community College.
PCC and Wake were scheduled to play a non-conference doubleheader at Sara Law Softball Complex at 5 p.m. Today's postponement means the teams will now play March 9 at 5 p.m. at Sara Law.
Pitt is still scheduled to play a doubleheader against UMBC-Catonsville at home on Thursday. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m.
Dawgs Looking to Build Upon '09 Success
(01/08/2010)
PCC Softball will kick off the 2010 campaign Jan. 30 with a doubleheader against Mt. Olive College, and the Bulldogs are looking to build upon last season's 27-10 mark.
Coach Junior Bailey's 2009 squad reached the championship game of the Region X Conference Tournament in Hartsville, S.C., but fell to Spartanburg Methodist College.
Bailey said this year's Region X tourney will take place on PCC's home turf, the Sara Law Softball Complex in Winterville, April 30 - May 2.
Pitt's 2010 regular season slate features 22 home games. The Bulldogs will play 16 more on the road in addition to tournaments hosted by Aiken Technical College (Feb. 19-20) and Savannah College of Art & Design.
PCC Softball has 12 new players on the roster joining four sophomores off last year's team, which received votes in NJCAA polling for the first time in program history. Two players from the '09 squad moved on to four-year schools to continue their playing careers.
Bulldogs Take Down Pair of 4-Year Schools
Elon, Chowan Fall to Bulldogs in Louisburg Tournament on Saturday
(10/06/2009)
LOUISBURG—The Pitt Community College softball team played the role of giant killer Saturday with victories over Elon and Chowan universities in a tournament hosted by Louisburg College.
PCC 1, Elon University 0
The Bulldogs, who are playing a series of exhibition games this fall in preparation for the 2010 season, broke open a scoreless game with the Phoenix in the sixth inning of Saturday’s first contest en route to a 1-0 victory.
With one out in the bottom of the sixth, sophomore Tiffany Frey singled up the middle to start the Pitt attack. She took second on a passed ball and came home when Bri Richie doubled to right field.
Freshman pitcher Charity Watson made sure the one-run lead held up for the Bulldogs. The righty from Washington, N.C., struck out two in the seventh before getting a fly out to end the game.
Watson started and tossed a complete game, striking out 10 and walking one to earn the victory.
In addition to hits by Frey and Richie, Kristen Garner had a double for PCC.
