Valkyries Wrap Up 2025 Catawba Round Robin

SALISBURY, N.C.  – The Converse University softball team (4-14) wrapped up their final tournament of the season as they wrapped up the Catawba Round Robin on Sunday afternoon. They first fell to Flagler (12-4) 7-2 before falling to Frostburg State (2-4) for the second time in as many days.

Freshman CJ McBride received the loss in game one for her seven innings of work. Sophomore Madison Davis received the loss in game two.

Game One: Flagler 7, Converse 2

A two-out single from the Saints in the top of the first put them up early. On the next at-bat, a double steal with runners on the corners doubled the Saints' lead.

Converse tallied two hits in the bottom of the first and one in the bottom of the fourth but couldn't capitalize on either opportunity. The Valkyries again got runners on as they loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the fifth but left all three stranded.

The Valkyries scored their first run of the game with a one-out, bases-loaded walk from junior Katelynn Tuxbury.

Flagler put up a five-spot in the top of the seventh inning. Junior Aubree Leonard hit her second home run of the year in the bottom of the seventh inning, tying her for the team lead. Unfortunately for the Valkyries, they were unable to plate five more runs and fell 7-2.

Game Two: Frostburg State 11, Converse 8

Converse struck first in the top of the first with six runs, all of which came with just one out. A walk and a dropped fly ball brought home the Valkyries' first two runs of the game. Sophomore Kiarra Thomas then knocked a grand slam, putting Converse up 6-0 and forcing the Bobcats to make a pitching change.

Frostburg State cut the lead in half over the first and second innings before scoring five innings in the bottom of the third. The Bobcats put up five runs in the bottom of the third, first hitting an RBI single before clearing the bases with a three-run home run. With two outs, the Bobcats knocked another RBI single.

Senior AJ Albano scored Tuxbury from second base with a two-out single.

The Bobcats put up three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Converse scored one in the top of the sixth as Tuxbury doubled down the left field line.

Both teams failed to score in the seventh inning.

On deck for the Valkyries:

Converse is back home as they host the Coker Cobras on Tuesday, Feb. 25 at Tyger River Park. First pitch is scheduled for 2 P.M.
