NEWBERRY, SC – The Newberry Wolves battled hard in a doubleheader against the Anderson Trojans on Tuesday at the Smith Road Complex, taking a tough 9-4 loss in Game 1 before bouncing back with a 7-5 win in Game 2. Strong performances at the plate and strong pitching helped the Wolves salvage the split.

Game 1: Anderson 9, Newberry 4

Newberry got on the board early, scoring in the first two innings, but a five-run sixth from Anderson proved too much to overcome. Maddy Staples collected two RBIs, with a sac fly in the second and a solo homer in the seventh. Lindsey Foster started in the circle, striking out one over 5.1 innings, but Anderson capitalized on timely hitting to secure the win.

Game 2: Newberry 7, Anderson 5

The Wolves responded in Game 2, using a big fourth inning to take control. Samantha Clark delivered a key two-run single late in the game, while Ella Stone went 2-for-3 with a run scored. Katie Henri added a clutch hit in the sixth to tie the game at 4-4. Dallas Wagoner was solid behind the plate and contributed an RBI single. Natalie Wescott earned the win, tossing a complete game with three strikeouts.

Newberry will look to carry their momentum into their upcoming conference matchups later this week against Catawba College in a Saturday road doubleheader with games at 1pm and 3pm.
