(Bloomsburg, Pa.) – The Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania softball team dropped both games of a doubleheader against a strong Bloomsburg University (11-5) squad, losing 3-0 in the first contest and 1-0 in the nightcap. The Lady Eagles are now 8-9 on the season.
            Three solo home runs by Bloomsburg, one to lead off each of the first three innings, proved to be the difference in the first game of the twinbill as LHU lost, 3-0. In their very first at bat of the game, the Huskies’ Jess Shnyder sent one over the fence for the 1-0 lead.  Sara Roba led off in the second inning and Tina Jennosa in the third, both recording solo homers to move the home team into the 3-0 lead. The Lady Eagles were held to just three hits, including two by Lynn Spiezio (Trooper/Methacton).  Pitcher Shona Guevara ( Chino Hills , Calif. /Ruben S. Ayala) fell to 5-2 overall after throwing all six innings, giving up six hits with just three strikeouts.
            A single run by the Huskies in the bottom of the fifth frame was the deciding factor of game two.  Bloomsburg had put runners in scoring position in the second and third innings, but the Haven held off the early offensive attack.  The Huskies strung together two straight hits, a single by Laurel Koster and a game-winning RBI off a double by Jess Shnyder in the fifth to break the scoreless tie.  The Lady Eagles’ only hit of the game came in the seventh inning, a lead-off single by Kelly Deitrick (Danville/Danville).  Freshman pitcher Stephanie Kinch ( Painesville , Ohio / Riverside ) took the loss to fall to 2-3 on the season after giving up five hits over the six inning span. 
           Lock Haven softball, now 8-9 overall, will host Edinboro University in its PSAC Western Division opener on Sun., March 28, at 1 p.m.
