LYCOMING SOFTBALL FALLS SHORT AT KING’S

WILKES-BARRE, PA – The Lycoming College softball team traveled to King’s College, Saturday afternoon, to compete in their final doubleheader of the regular season. The Warriors were held to just one run in each game as they fell 4-1 in the first and 6-1 in the nightcap. Lycoming completes the regular season with a record of 17-15 overall and 8-6 within the conference. The Monarchs improve to 28-5-1 and 10-2.

The Warriors scored in their first at bat of the opening game when Amy Curry (Fr./Fallentimber, PA; Moshannon Valley) doubled home Marianne Simpson (Fr./Camp Hill, PA; Camp Hill) who had reached on an error. King’s, however, tied the game in their half of the first frame and added three more runs in the fifth inning to post the 4-1 victory. Amanda Gery (Fr./Whitehall, PA; Whitehall) suffered the loss on the mound despite allowing just one earned run.

In the second game, Lycoming again scored first when Curry hit her fourth homerun of the season in the second inning. But the Monarchs answered in their half of the second and went on to add four runs in the third and another in the fifth. Laurie Rooney (So./Audubon, NJ; Audubon) suffered the loss on the mound.
