LYCOMING SOFTBALL DEFEATS ELIZABETHTOWN

WILLIAMSPORT, PA – The Lycoming College softball team took a break from conference competition to host Elizabethtown College for a single game, Wednesday afternoon. The Warriors plated one run in the first inning and played solid defense behind a two-hit shutout by Amanda Gery (Fr./Whitehall, PA; Whitehall) for the 1-0 victory. Lycoming improves to 17-11 overall with the win. The Blue Jays fall to 24-9 on the season.

Senior Adrienne Wydra (Ashland, PA; North Schuylkill) led off the Warriors’ half of the first with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice by Marianne Simpson (Fr./Camp Hill, PA; Camp Hill). Simpson was safe at first due to an error on the second baseman. Jessica Feerrar (Jr./Lock Haven, PA; Lock Haven) moved both runners up with another sacrifice. Amy Curry (Fr./Fallentimber, PA; Moshannon Valley) then drove home the game’s lone run on a single.

Gery did the rest, striking out six batters while allowing just two hits. Elizabethtown failed to advance a runner beyond second base in the contest. Gery is now 12-5 on the season with a 1.28 ERA.

Lycoming will be in action again on Thursday, when they travel to College Misericordia for another non-conference game.
