LYCOMING SOFTBALL SWEEPS JUNIATA
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The Lycoming College softball team hosted
Juniata College, Thursday afternoon, for a non-conference
doubleheader. The Warriors used outstanding pitching and defense
to sweep the Eagles, 2-1 and 1-0. Lycoming evens their record at
14-14, while Juniata falls to 17-10.
In the
opening game, the Warriors posted a run in the fifth inning to
take a 1-0 lead. The Eagles, however, sent the game to extra
innings with a tying run in the seventh inning. But Lycoming
pulled out the victory in the bottom of the eighth when Jen
Shaffer (Sr./Waterville, Pa.; Jersey Shore) singled home
Melissa McCoy (Fr./Williamsport, Pa.; Jersey Shore). Shaffer
led the team with three hits in four at-bats. Morgan Mantle
(So./Jersey Shore, Pa.; Jersey Shore) pitched the complete
game, allowing just four hits and one run while striking out 11
batters.
In the
second game, the home team got the only run they would need in
the first frame as Christine Caroselli (So./Newtown, Pa.;
Pennsbury) came around to score from second on a single by
Amy Curry (Jr./Fallentimber, Pa.; Moshannon Valley) when
the center fielder bobbled the ball. Amanda Gery
(Jr./Whitehall, Pa.; Whitehall) took care of the rest,
tossing seven shutout innings. Gery allowed just three hits and
struck out three batters.
The Warriors
play again on Saturday, April 24, when they host the University
of Scranton for an important Freedom Conference doubleheader.
