Pearl River splits doubleheader in Meridian Rush Invitational

MERIDIAN, Miss. — The Pearl River Wildcats softball team split their two games Sunday in the Meridian Rush Invitational, losing their first game to Trinity Valley College 6-3 before winning their second game over Southeastern Illinois College 7-6.

"We had opportunities to close the first game and we didn't but other than that we played solid," head coach Christie Meeks said. "I thought we played much better in the second game and bounced back which was big."
