Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 GREENWOOD, S.C. - The No. 3 University of North Georgia softball team split its two games on the opening day of the Bearcat Round Robin Saturday.

GAME 1 - USCB 3, UNG 1
It was all quiet on the scoreboard until USC Beaufort struck for three in the top of the fourth, scoring on a leadoff walk, an error that scored two and a homer to right. North Georgia got one back in the bottom of the inning off a Madison Simmons homer, but that was all UNG could get as the Sandsharks got the win.

Tybee Denton (5-1) was saddled with the loss, fanning 10 over the complete seven innings.

GAME 2 - UNG 15, CU 7 (6 inn.)
North Georgia got on the board first in the second game of the day, starting with a run in the second on a Chowan error. UNG scored two more in the third off a Haley Cummings RBI double and another Hawk error, putting the Nighthawks up, 3-0.

The Nighthawks went off in the fourth, plating nine runs in the inning, highlighted by a Jolie Lester RBI double and a Cummings grand slam. After Chowan battled back in the fifth to cut the lead to 12-7, North Georgia plated three runs off another Cummings hit, this time an RBI double that ended the game.

Delaney Heaberlin (4-1) earned the win, pitching a total of 5.2 innings and allowing just one run.

NOTES
- Cummings finished game two going 3-for-5 with seven RBI.
