KISSIMMEE, Fla. – Behind a pair of outstanding offensive performances, the Bridgewater Eagles softball team dropped Thomas More by a 9-1 score before taking down Geneva in the nightcap by a 9-0 score on the first day of competition at the Rebel Spring Games.

Following a scoreless frame from the Saints, the Eagles knocked in three runs in the top of the second to take a 4-0 lead.

Morris reached base on an error by the right fielder, driving in Thomas, to net the third run of the frame, putting Bridgewater up 4-0 after two.

The Eagles continued to mow through the Thomas More lineup in the second, before a Morgan Williams single drove in freshman Kasey Anderson to push the lead to 5-0.
