(Edinboro, Pa.) –
The Lock Haven University of
Pennsylvania softball team (20-13, 12-4 PSAC West) won two
more today on the road at Edinboro University (8-24, 3-13
PSAC West), needing extra innings for a 6-5 win in game
one before securing a 6-1 win in the nightcap.
The Lady Eagles escaped with a 6-5 victory in the
first game of the twinbill, needing nine innings to
wrangle the win away from the Fighting Scots.
Lock Haven had built a 3-0 lead entering the bottom
of the sixth inning, but the Boro crossed three home to
knot the score at 3-3. Both teams tacked on two runs in
the seventh frame to move into the extra inning
tiebreaker. A
scoreless eighth inning gave way to the ninth frame, where
two Haven batters were walked to put runners at first and
second. A fielder’s choice ball hit by Courtney Hughes (Schwenksville/Souderton) knocked out the runner
advancing to second, but an error on the first baseman
allowed Kelly Deitrick (Danville/Danville) to round
third and cross home. Lock Haven held Edinboro at bay in
the bottom of the inning for the 6-5 win.
Molly Shuey (Tower City/Williams Valley) was the pitcher of record,
entering the game in relief and throwing the final three
innings. Shuey
improves to 7-4 on the season. Ashley
Barber (

lead the Haven.
Shuey continued to stifle the Edinboro batters in
game two, picking up her second win of the day after going
the distance with five strikeouts. The Haven jumped out to
a 2-0 lead after three frames before the Fighting Scots
answered with a run in the bottom of the fourth.
Another run for LHU in the sixth and three more in
the seventh sealed the 6-1 win.
