Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 CARY, NC  – The Rowan University softball team lost two games on its North Carolina trip on Saturday.  Piedmont College defeated Rowan, 12-9 in nine innings and Berry College (GA) had an 11-4 victory. 
 
It was a long day for the Profs because the games were delayed in the morning due to a muddy field and they had to push the games back and use another field.
 
Against Piedmont (2-1), Rowan had home runs by shortstop Shilah Snead (sr. Malaga, NJ/Delsea Reg.) and designated player Ashley DeYoung (jr. Oakland, NJ/Indian Hills) in the sixth inning, which tied the score at seven.  The teams each had a run in the eighth.  The Profs went up 9-8 in the top of the ninth. Third baseman Nicole Paiotti (so. Oakland, NJ/Indian Hills) stole third base and scored on designated player Ashley DeYoung's (jr. Oakland, NJ/Indian Hills) ground out.  In the bottom half, the Lions won the game with a three-run homer by right fielder Allison Vaughn.   
 
Second baseman Carly Anderson (fr. Nutley, NJ/Nutley) ended the game with three hits (five at bats), three RBIs and one home run.  Snead contributed with two hits in five at bats, two RBIs and two runs.  She recorded her second homer of the season.
