 AVERETT SURVIVES GREENSBORO IN ELIMINATION GAME, 3-2

 BURLINGTON, N.C. -- The Averett Cougars defeated the Greensboro Pride 3-2 in a
 Saturday afternoon elimination game at Springwood Park.  Averett next plays N.C.
 Wesleyan in the 4 p.m. for the chance to move to the final day of the tournament.

 Averett got on the board in the top of the first inning with an RBI-single from Emily
 Atkinson scoring Kaci Bentley.   The Cougars added another run in the top of the fifth. 
 Bentley started things off with a double and scored on two errors when Hayley Brooks
 was at bat. 

 In the bottom of fifth, Greensboro had bases loaded with only one out.   Averett pitcher
 Sadra Dennison was able to get the next batter to pop out and strike out the next batter
 for the third out. 

 Greensboro produced their first run in the bottom of the sixth inning with a double from
 Burkett scoring Ashley Pennington.  Once again Dennison was able to keep runners
 from scoring with the Pride leaving two runners on base.

 Averett added an insurance run in the top of the seventh on single from Dennison
 scoring Heather Carnes.  The Pride had a seventh inning rally that fell just short as
 Greensboro could only scratch out one run.  Pennington singled to left field scoring
 Brittney Teer.  Dennison then struck out Nina Chiaruttini and Kelsey Burkett for the final
 two outs.
