Pitt was able to defeat both Surry CC and the weather on Friday.  The Bulldogs captured both victories just before the rain came down by scores of 9-1 and 12-4.

Julia Gonzalez stole the show in the first game, tallying 3 hits and knocking in 5 of the Bulldogs 9 runs.  PCC jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first and extended the lead to 7-0 heading into the sixth.  Surry was able to push across a run in top half of the sixth before Pitt pushed across 2 of their own in bottom frame, giving the Bulldogs a 9-1 victory by run rule.  Janna Dawson earned the win on the mound, tossing a complete game and allowing only 3 hits while striking out 4 in 6 innings of work.

GAME 2

PITT 12  SURRY 4

In the second game of the day, Surry raced out to a 3-1 lead heading into the bottom of the fourth before the Bulldogs answered with 3 runs of their own, taking a 4-3 lead.  The Bulldog offense then exploded for 8 runs over the next two innings to take home a 12-4 victory.  Rebekah Williams tossed 4 innings for the Dawgs and Emily McGee saw two innings of work.  Julia Gonzalez continued her great day recording 3 more RBI's (giving her 8 on the day) and Roslyn Bunch tacked on 3 RBI's of her own.

The final game of the series is set for tomorrow at noon.
