CLERMONT, Fla. -- The Washington & Jefferson College softball team fell in a pair of games at the PFX Spring Games on Wednesday.

The Presidents fall to 4-4 this week in Florida.

Game 1: Union 8, W&J 1

W&J trailed by a 2-1 margin before Union tacked on six runs late in the game to finish off the victory. 

Austine Kinney (Brunswick, Ohio/Brunswick) singled in the fifth inning to get W&J on the board. 

The Dutchmen responded by recording a six run inning in the top of the sixth to gain an 8-1 lead over the Presidents. 

Union held an 11-3 advantage on hits over the Presidents. Olivia Dewick, (Pittsburgh, Pa./Keystone) Ashleigh Gerber (Woodstock, Md./Marriots Ridge), and Kinney combined to record the three hits for W&J.

Game 2: Carleton: 10, W&J: 2 (6 innings)
