Towson Rebounds To Earn DH Split Against George Mason

FAIRFAX, Va. – Olivia Baltazar and Julia Smith-Harrington delivered clutch performances at the perfect time to help the Towson University softball team beat George Mason, 3-1, and earn a split of the non-conference doubleheader at GMU Softball Complex Wednesday afternoon.
 
After dropping the opening game, 6-5, Towson needed the lift that Baltazar and Smith-Harrington provided to make the bus ride back to campus a little more enjoyable.
