Softball Grabs Game Three Series Victory at USCB Behind Folds' Complete Game Shutout

Haylee Folds' complete game shutout leads to a 4-0 victory over the Sandsharks.

HARDEEVILLE, S.C. - The Columbus State University softball team secured the series victory over the University of South Carolina Beaufort behind a complete game shutout and two home runs. The Cougars improve to 28-19 overall (15-8 PBC), while the Sandsharks drop to 18-22 (4-17 PBC). 

Both starting pitchers were dominant during the contest. Senior Haylee Folds pitched a complete 7.0 innings, striking out five and allowing only four hits and no runs. She improves to 9-6 on the season. 

The Cougars started things off at the top of the first innings thanks to an RBI single into center field from Kara Wegienka (1-for-2), who scored Cooper. Katelyn Cooper (1-for-3) reached base after hitting her third double of the series. 

Kenzie Bayer (1-for-2) added to the total, launching a two-run home run over the left field wall to push the Cougars to a 3-0 lead in the top of the fourth. 

Madison McDonald continued to be a threat at the plate, going 2-for-3 on the day, with a home run at the top of the seventh to secure the 4-0 win for the Cougars.
