The Lady Indians have faced the #2 team in the latest NJCAA poll, perennial powerhouse Young Harris and on Saturday faced #16 ranked Spartanburg Methodist College. The bright spot for USC Salkehatchie head coach Mitch Smith is his team was in every game, "We held our own and I am proud of the way we played. If we can cut down on mistakes, we are going to have a pretty good season."
First on Saturday the Lady Indians fell to #16 SMC by a final of 8-3, freshman Amber Hiers starting her first collegiate game took the loss giving up 6-runs in 2-innings. The bright spot in the game was Kandyce Ranew hitting a double down the left field line that scored three on the hit.
In game two on Saturday, the Lady Indians took it too Surry CC by winning 9-3. Sam Martin who has pitched great for the Lady Indians all season got the win.
Leading the Lady Indians at the plate was Crystal Long, hitting a 3-run homer off the scoreboard and Amanda Karn hitting a 3-run triple.
