The Orange softball team faced a stiff challenge when they hosted Roxboro Community School on Monday night. The Bulldogs had defeated Bartlett Yancey and Granville Central in the opening week of the season, both run-rule wins. Orange wasn’t phased and rolled to an 8-1 win over the Bulldogs in Hillsborough. Junior pitcher Caden Robinson struck out eleven for her second win of the season. Robinson also went 1-for-3 with an RBI. Freshman Katie Carden finished 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two doubles. Senior Carson Bradsher went 1-for-3 with a run scored. Bradsher, who has committed to USC-Upstate, is back in her familiar spot in the Panthers lineup after missing most of last season with an injury. As far as her Orange stint goes, Bradsher’s best season was her sophomore year where Orange’s regular season was limited due to COVID-19. Bradsher was named All-Big 8 Conference as a sophomore. She’s ready to help Orange try to return to the top of conference play. The Lady Panthers will travel to Roxboro tonight to face Roxboro Community School. Orange was supposed to face Western Alamance last week but the game was rained out.
