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.
