The Pfeiffer University softball team split a USA South doubleheader with Salem College on Tuesday  at Jack Ingram Field.  The Falcons (10-2, 1-1 USA South) took game one 5-1 and fell in game two to Salem (4-5, 1-1) by the score of 5-3.

Pfeiffer got two RBI from both Vada Blue Sherrill and Hannah Tyner in game one and got a home run from Kari Westerbeek to take the 5-1 win.  Sherrill was 1-of-3 from the plate and scored a run while Tyner went 2-of-2.

Pitcher Kiana Millsaps recorded her seventh win of the season, pitching seven innings and scattered three hits while striking out two to earn the win.

In game two, Salem scored three runs in the sixth to take the 4-3 lead and added another in the seventh and held the Falcons at bay in the home half of the seventh to take the 5-3 win.
