WARRIOR
SOFTBALL WINS ONE, TIES ONE VERSUS SUSQUEHANNA
WILLIAMSPORT, PA
– The Lycoming College softball team hosted Susquehanna
University, Wednesday afternoon, for a non-conference
doubleheader. The Warriors won the opening game by a score of 3-2
in eight innings. The second game was called after six innings due
to darkness with the score tied at 0-0. Lycoming is now 6-4-1
overall this season. The Crusaders fall to 3-4-1.
In the first
game, Susquehanna got on the board first with an unearned run in
the third inning. The Warriors tied the game in the bottom of the
fourth when Jana Reitz (Fr./Waynesboro, PA; Waynesboro) led
off with a homerun. The Crusaders went ahead 2-1 in the top off
the eighth, but Lycoming scored a pair of runs in the bottom half
of the inning to grab the victory. Kathryn Viebrock
(Fr./Fogelsville, PA; Northwestern Lehigh) drove home the
winning run with a single.
Amanda Gery
(So./Whitehall, PA; Whitehall)
picked up the win for the Warriors, allowing four hits and two
unearned runs in eight innings. She also struck out nine batters.
In the second
game, Lycoming’s Morgan Mantle (Fr./Jersey Shore, PA; Jersey
Shore) and Susquehanna’s Heather Litzebauer (So./Red
Bank, NJ; Middletown South) were locked in a pitcher’s duel
when the game was called on account of darkness. Mantle allowed
just three hits in six innings while striking out three batters.
Litzebauer gave up six hits and struck out five in six innings of
work.
The Warriors are
in action again on Saturday, March 29, when they play host to FDU-Florham.
The first pitch is scheduled for noon.
