Watson Tallies Five RBIs in Game Two Victory Over North Greenville

SPARTANBURG, S.C.  – The Converse University softball team (11-7, 3-1 Conference Carolinas) continued their span of six games in three days with two games at home against the North Greenville Trailblazers (18-12, 5-5 Conference Carolinas) on Friday afternoon.
