OWENSBORO, KY. - The Kentucky Wesleyan College softball team dropped a doubleheader against Hillsdale College on Saturday at Foster Field. The Panthers were one hit away in the opener falling 3-1 before dropping game two 10-0 in five innings. 

The Chargers (25-16, 11-3 GMAC) scratched a run across a run in the top of the first inning, but Allie Dunn ended the threat.
