BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. - The Glenville State Softball team made history today with their doubleheader sweep at Salem, breaking the program's single-season wins record with their 30th victory in the second game of the DH.

Game One - GSU 8 | Salem 2
It was a stalemate in the opening three innings at The Bridge Sports Complex with neither squad scoring.

SU put their first runs of the game on the board in the bottom of the 6th before Aguiniga recorded her fourth RBI of the contest in the top of the 7th. Burdick closed out the bottom half of the seventh by inducing a double play, finishing the Pioneers 29th win, 8-2.
