PERKINSTON, Miss. (MGCCC Athletics) - Mississippi Gulf Coast earned its first trip to the NJCAA Division II Softball Championship since 2014 by breaking a season-long tie with Copiah-Lincoln.
The No. 9 Bulldogs trounced the No. 8 Wolves 7-3 on Saturday night in an elimination contest at the Region 23 Tournament to punch their ticket to Oxford, Ala.
“When you think about our very first meeting with this team, the looks on their faces,” Gulf Coast coach Kenneth Long said, “and to be able to come over here and do this, it’s very rewarding. They’re a great team, and I’m so glad they get to go to this tournament.”
