Softball Falls to North Carolina, 1-0

The softball team lost its first outing of the year today against North Carolina, 1-0. The game took place at Chapel Hill as part of the Tar Heel Invitational. Stag senior pitcher Cagney Ringnalda got the loss, while Tar Heel sophomore pitcher Lisa Norris got the win.

Ringnalda gave up four hits and struck out six in a full seven innings of work. North Carolina’s lone run came in the second off two clean hits and a fielder’s choice.

Norris took care of business after that, ultimately giving up one hit and striking out 13 on her way to a complete game.

Fairfield’s only hit came from 3B Dani Griswold, who tripled in the second inning.

The Stags continue their tournament play on Saturday, taking on Rutgers at 2:30 p.m. and Appalachian State at 7 p.m.
