Dawgs Looking to Build Upon '09 Success
(01/08/2010)
PCC Softball will kick off the 2010 campaign Jan. 30 with a doubleheader against Mt. Olive College, and the Bulldogs are looking to build upon last season's 27-10 mark.
Coach Junior Bailey's 2009 squad reached the championship game of the Region X Conference Tournament in Hartsville, S.C., but fell to Spartanburg Methodist College.
Bailey said this year's Region X tourney will take place on PCC's home turf, the Sara Law Softball Complex in Winterville, April 30 - May 2.
Pitt's 2010 regular season slate features 22 home games. The Bulldogs will play 16 more on the road in addition to tournaments hosted by Aiken Technical College (Feb. 19-20) and Savannah College of Art & Design.
PCC Softball has 12 new players on the roster joining four sophomores off last year's team, which received votes in NJCAA polling for the first time in program history. Two players from the '09 squad moved on to four-year schools to continue their playing careers.

The Bulldogs, who are playing a series of exhibition games this fall in preparation for the 2010 season, broke open a scoreless game with the Phoenix in the sixth inning of Saturday’s first contest en route to a 1-0 victory.
With one out in the bottom of the sixth, sophomore Tiffany Frey singled up the middle to start the Pitt attack. She took second on a passed ball and came home when Bri Richie doubled to right field.
Freshman pitcher Charity Watson made sure the one-run lead held up for the Bulldogs. The righty from Washington, N.C., struck out two in the seventh before getting a fly out to end the game.
Watson started and tossed a complete game, striking out 10 and walking one to earn the victory.
In addition to hits by Frey and Richie, Kristen Garner had a double for PCC.
