FMU softball hosts GCSU, baseball at No. Ga. delayed

FLORENCE, SC – The 19th-ranked Francis Marion University softball team will host Georgia College & State University for a key Peach Belt Conference doubleheader on Saturday (March 28), while the Patriot baseball series at North Georgia College & State University has been pushed back one day because of rain.

The softball twinbill will begin at noon on the FMU Softball Field.

The Patriots are 23-10 overall and 5-5 in the Peach Belt, while GCSU (23-15) sits atop the PBC standings with a 9-1 mark.

Freshman second baseman Ashley Jaramillo continues to lead FMU in batting with a .362 average, five home runs, and 28 runs batted in. The Patriots have played their last 10 contests on the road.

The Bobcats are coached by FMU graduate and former Patriot player Ginger Miller Chaffinch. The GCSU attack is led by senior outfielder Sherquita Bostick, a product of West Florence High School, who is hitting .364 with four home runs and 24 RBIs.

The baseball series at North Georgia has been changed to a doubleheader on Sunday and a single game on Monday. Game times have yet to be determined, owing to field conditions.

The ninth-ranked FMU women’s tennis team (12-3, 5-2) plays at Clayton State University on Saturday at 11 a.m., and both Patriot tennis squads play at Anderson University on Sunday at 1 p.m.
