GREENWOOD – The Lander softball team split a home doubleheader on Sunday night at Doug Spears Field, beating the Warriors 7-1 before falling 8-6 in the second game. 

Ashley Vinson went the distance in the circle in game one, allowing one run on eight hits with four strikeouts. Sydney Grimes and Delaney Guerrero combined to drive in all seven Bearcat runs. Grimes recorded a pair of two-run doubles, while Guerrero added a two-run triple and an RBI double. 

In game two, Lander trailed 7-0 before mounting a furious rally over the final three innings. Lander chipped away with two runs in the fifth and trailed 7-3 in the sixth when Logan Coward launched a three-run homer to make it a one-run game. However, East Stroudsburg tacked on an insurance run in the seventh and held on to earn a split. 

Lander hosts Converse in a doubleheader on Tuesday night.
