HARTSVILLE, S.C. -- The Anderson softball team suffered an 8-4 setback Saturday afternoon at Coker and dropped the series, two games to one. The Cobras were on the receiving end of a stellar pitching performance from senior Jonathan Gainey, who went the distance, allowing just four runs on 10 hits with four strikeouts to earn his second win of the year. The win improves the Cobras to 21-19 overall and 10-14 in Conference Carolinas play, while Anderson falls to 14-28 overall and 8-12 in the conference. The victory also moves Coker into sixth place in the conference standings, giving them a two game lead over Anderson for final spot in the conference tournament with one weekend of conference play left. Coker will have a bye weekend, while Anderson will take on Pfeiffer, needing two wins past the Falcons to overtake the Cobras for the sixth and final spot in the tourney. Bryson Graydon (1-5) took the loss for Anderson, going 4 2/3 innings, allowing five runs on five hits with a strikeout. Anderson's Chance Thomas had two hits with a double and a run scored and Thomas Padro had two hits with an RBI. Tony Price also drove in a run.
