(Indiana,

Haven
University
of Pennsylvania
softball team (14-13, 6-4 PSAC West) split its twinbill on
the road at Indiana (Pa.) University (18-15, 5-7 PSAC West), losing in extra
innings in game one, 3-2, before rebounding for a decisive
8-3 victory in the second game.
An
Indiana
run in the bottom of the eighth wrapped up game one, 3-2,
with the Lady Eagles on the down-side of the score.
A 1-0 lead for the Haven after Danielle
Fraser (West Milford, N.J./West
Milford) scored on an
Indiana
error in the second inning held through to the fifth
inning, when a solo homer by
Indiana
’s Jodie Swavely
knotted things at 1-1.
In the top of the seventh, Lock Haven’s Heather
Johnson (Williamsport/Williamsport) singled to bring
home Colleen Welsh (Pottsville/Pottsville) and give LHU the 2-1 lead.
The lead would be short-lived, however, as

matched the run in the bottom of the inning, then moved
runners around the bases on a two-hit inning in the eighth
for the slim 3-2 victory.

complete the first-inning barrage.
Indiana
battled with two runs in the fourth inning off a two-run
home run by Melissa Klingensmith and another in the fifth
on a Haven error, bringing the margin to 7-3. Tutrani
singled in the top of the seventh inning and brought

in the bottom of the frame to emerge the 8-3 victors.
