MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Salem softball rebounded from an 8-0 setback in game one to score four runs over six innings in a 12-4 setback in game two in a clash with USA South Conference foe and 24th-ranked Pfeiffer when the two teams met at Jack Ingram Field on Friday afternoon. 

The Falcons took advantage of pitching performances from Emma Bullin (11-4), Peyton Lane and Reese Caranna as the combined for a no-hitter of Salem in game one of the series. While the trio held the Spirits' bats silent, the combination of Landry Stewart (3-3, RBI), Alyssa Broaddus (2-2) and Natalie Auman (2 RBI, run) provided the punch for the Pfeiffer offense. 

Salem responded by scoring four runs on five hits in game two, led by Kiersten Nelson's two hits. Nelson accounted for an RBI and a triple, while teammate Oliva Porter closed 1-for-2 at the plate with two RBI and a run scored. Reese Upton and Jelene Avila also had one hit each for the Spirits.
