WARRIOR SOFTBALL DROPS A PAIR TO MISERICORDIA

DALLAS, PA – The Lycoming College softball team took a break from conference competition, Thursday afternoon, to challenge College Misericordia in a doubleheader. The Warriors, however, came up on the short end of both contests falling 9-4 in the first and 4-1 in the second. Lycoming is now 17-13 overall this season.

Lycoming posted two runs in their first turn at bat in the opening game, but the Cougars came back with six runs of their own in the bottom of the frame. Dara Dietrich (Sr./Pitman, PA; Tri-Valley) and Katie Kresge (So./Lehighton, PA; Marian Catholic) both went 2-3 with a run-batted-in in the game. Jessica Feerrar (Jr./Lock Haven, PA; Lock Haven) also collected two hits, including a double, and scored a run. Marianne Simpson (Fr./Camp Hill, PA; Camp Hill) suffered the loss in her first collegiate start.

In the second game, Misericordia scored one in the first and sixth while posting two runs in the third. The Warriors scored their lone run in the fifth inning when Amy Curry (Fr./Fallentimber, PA; Moshannon Valley) singled home Feerrar following her second double of the twin bill. Crystal Hampton (So./Catawissa, PA; Southern Columbia) went 3-for-3 from the plate in the contest. Adrienne Wydra (Sr./Ashland, PA; North Schuylkill) and Simpson each added two hits apiece. Hampton suffered the loss despite allowing just two earned runs while striking out three.

Lycoming wraps up their regular season schedule with a conference doubleheader at King’s College on Saturday.
