USC Salkehatchie softball falls short in bid for Region X tournament title


The USC Salkehatchie Indians lost only one game prior to it's Sunday match-up with Spartanburg Methodist College in the Region X tournament.


The Indians knew it would once again be a long day, on Saturday the Indians had to win 2 of the 3 games if they wanted to remain in the tournament and they did.


On Sunday the Indians ran out of gas and finished 3rd in the entire Region X tournament, that started with 9 teams.


"We did great, I have never been prouder of a group of young ladies that I have coached. We came out and played our hearts out over the three day tournament. I was worried that after the long day on Saturday, it was going to be tough to win three more on Sunday. I want to thank everyone for their support and the girls for their effort," said USC Salkehatchie head coach Mitch Smith.


Sophomore Symone Nettles (Lamar, SC) and freshman Gwenell Crawford (Jacksonville, FL) were named to the 2009 NJCAA Region X all-tournament team for USC Salkehatchie.


I will post photo's from the Region X tournament later tonight or tomorrow, it has been a very busy weekend with traveling and tonight we have the USC Salkehatchie graduation at 7:00 pm.
