GREENSBORO, N.C. – For the second-straight day, the Seton Hall softball team (6-6) split a pair of contests at the UNCG Invitational. On day two Saturday, The Hall dropped a 4-0 decision to Appalachian State before coming up with a late 2-1 win against the host Spartans in their second game of the day. The Pirates will conclude action in Greensboro tomorrow at 9 a.m. against ACC foe Virginia.

The Pirate offense was stymied in game one, but The Hall nearly rallied back and brought the tying run to the plate in the seventh inning of a 4-0 run setback. In game two an Alexis Walkden (Cibolo, Texas) home run helped back a stellar complete game outing from Reganne Camp (Bloomington, Ill.) in a 2-1 victory over the hosts.
