Spartanburg Methodist College 2008-09 Region X Softball ChampionThe Lady Indians first game in the 2008-2009 Region X tournament came against Pitt Community and if the Lady Indians hadn't committed several errors early on, it could have been them in the Region X championship this afternoon against Spartanburg Methodist College.
In a year in which almost every team in Region X was pretty evenly matched, the Lady Pioneers ran the table to become the Region X champions.
Pitt CC with one loss in the Region X tournament headed into Sunday's games, defeated Surry Community College in their first game today and then turned around and defeated Florence Darlington Technical College.
Pitt Community College would then have to face Spartanburg Methodist College in a must win situation.
The Region X tournament is a double-elimination tournament and for Pitt Community to win it all, they would have had to play 4-games and win them all today. In order to become the Region X champion, they would have needed two wins against Spartanburg Methodist College.
The next stop for the Spartanburg Methodist Lady Pioneers is St. George, Utah for the NJCAA Division 1 championship.
I will keep everyone updated on their progress in the NJCAA tournament which begins March 14th.
Congratulations to the Lady Pioneers, from the entire USC Salkehatchie athletic department!
