The No. 10-ranked Georgia Gwinnett College softball team dropped a pair of road games to No. 21 Reinhardt University (Georgia) 6-1 and 2-1 Saturday afternoon in Waleska, Georgia.

The games marked the first road trip for the Grizzlies this spring. The team opened the season by sweeping a home doubleheader against Reinhardt on February 10.

GGC (11-3) took a 1-0 lead in the sixth inning in the second contest when a throw from the Reinhardt left fielder allowed junior second baseman Holly Janco to score. The play was created following a base hit from freshman Kloey Goins.

Reinhardt (16-4) would get a clutch two-out, go-ahead home run from Emma Adams in the bottom of the sixth to complete the sweep.

The Eagles built a 6-0 lead by the fourth inning in the opener. The team scored three runs in the third inning.

Janco collected three hits to lead GGC's offense in the doubleheader.
  Reinhardt received a timely base hit to win the second contest and complete the sweep Saturday. With two outs in the sixth inning, Emma Adams hit a two-run home run over the left field fence to turn a 1-0 GGC lead into a 2-1 Reinhardt advantage. That would be all the Eagles would need for the victory.
