Four Games At Home, Four Wins on the Season; Upstate Opens the Spartan Classic With 7-0 Win Over George Mason

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – USC Upstate softball extended its win streak to four as the Spartans downed the Patriots of George Mason 7-0 during day one of the Spartan Classic. The day started with a reduced number of games set to be played on Friday due to weather and finished with wins from Upstate and Holy Cross.  
 
Peyton Darnell kicked off day one of the tournament with her first home run of the 2023 season to give Upstate the one run lead in the second inning. Tiffany Domingue extended Upstate's lead to two runs with her first run scored of the day in the form of a home run sent over right center in the second inning. The fifth inning brought four more runs for Upstate as Celeste Delorenzo, Taliyah Thomas, and Casey Goguts all scored their first runs of the tournament, and Domingue scored her second of the game. Domingue finished the day with a final run in the sixth inning, coming home off a Summer Johnson single to right center.  Alyssa Kelly started her second game of the season pitching for Upstate and surrendered no runs to the Patriots while racking up eight strikeouts and allowing only two hits in seven innings.
