Syracuse Orange softball kicked off the 2017 campaign over the weekend at the Red and Black Showcase down in Athens, Ga. (home of the Georgia Bulldogs). Playing five games during the event, SU managed to win three — one vs. East Carolina and two against Winthrop — despite dropping two to the hosts.
The wins over Winthrop to end the event have the Orange riding a two-game winning streak heading into this weekend’s competition: the FAU Showcase in Boca Raton, Fla.
Syracuse will face St. John’s first on Friday, then follow that up with Savannah State. They’ll play another doubleheader on Saturday, against Tulsa and Toledo, respectively.
