Harrogate, TN- The Lincoln Memorial Softball team will open their 2024 season by hosting the Railsplitter Invitational this weekend, February 2nd through February 4th. The Lady Railsplitters will play their opening game on Friday, February 2nd, at 1 PM against Ferris State. All games will take place at the Dorothy Neely Softball Complex in Harrogate.
