WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Senior Kat Price sent a bases-loaded single over the outstretched hands of Brevard's Anna Graves, accounting for two of Salem's four runs in the fifth inning, helping capture a 9-7 win in game two of the USA South Conference doubleheader. The Tornados earned the win the first game of the series in 3-0 fashion as Salem completed its first league contests of the season. 

Price's single in the fifth evened the game at six-all before Maleah Tate reached on a fielding error that scored Cree Bass for the go-ahead run two batters later. After Price scored to make for an 8-6 contest, Reese Upton provided an insurance run in the form of a home run in the sixth inning.

Carmen Duffey capitalized on Salem's rally, winning her first game in the circle on the season after tossing four innings and fanning four Brevard sluggers. 

The Spirits fell 3-0 in the first game of the doubleheader after collecting just four hits. Brevard, which tallied five hits, took advantage of two RBI by Rylee Locklear and an RBI from Regan Winkler to earn its first USA South win of the campaign.
