FORT PIERCE, FL - The Pioneers, who are ranked fifth in the most recent NJCAA National Poll, run-ruled the thirteenth ranked Titans in game one 8-0. Ciara Gendron and Cassidy Patterson each went 2-for-3 to pace the offense. On the mound, Freshman J'dah Girigorie earned the win, allowing four hits and zero runs over five innings, striking out five and walking none.
The second game of the night saw more of the same in the convincing double header victories over Eastern.

Freshman J'dah Girigorie earned her second win of the evening for the Pioneers, allowing just two hits and no earned runs, while striking out six and walking two.
