LOUISBURG, NC — The Lady Canes softball team picked up conference split, Saturday afternoon, as they were downed 2-0 in game one of their doubleheader with USC Sumter, but the bats came alive in game two as LC knocked off the Fire Ants, 8-0.

The frosh also scored a pair of runs and hit a two run bomb in the fourth inning. Smith also hit a two run bomb in game two where she finished at 2-3, drove in three RBI and also smacked a double.
