The Pack will try to remain in the winner's bracket today against host JMU.
Records fell as NC State softball opened regional play with a win for the third straight season, felling Fordham 12-5. The 12 runs doubled the program's previous high in regional play, and Tyler Ross, who went 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI, set the club record for RBI in a season with her 55th.
Ross was among five players with a pair of hits; Renada Davis (who has hit in 13 straight), Meredith Burroughs, Maggie Hawkins, and Hannah Yeager also had a pair, and all four drove in two runs.
