After an Amazing 15 Game Winning Streak, Upstate Falls to the Buccaneers in Game One of the Series

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Spartans fell for the first time in 15 straight contests after they were unable to contain the Buccaneers in game one of the three-game series.  
 
Upstate went toe for toe with Charleston Southern for the first two innings as both teams sat with zeros across the board. CSU was able to post five runs in the top of the third inning. Hannah Houge started on the mound looking to get her 24th win of the season. Houge had four strikeouts and pitched 2.1 innings until she was relieved by Adison Yoder. Yoder pitched for 1.1 innings and surrendered five runs until she was relieved by Savannah Brown in the top of the fourth. Despite a valiant effort, the Spartans were unable to come back, and the game ended after five innings.
