Dunmore, PA – Saturday afternoon the Lady Lions of Penn State Beaver traveled to Penn State Scranton where they picked up two conference wins.
In game one, Beaver jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the top of the first on hits from Miranda Robson (Rochester, PA/Rochester), Rachel Borrell (Downingtown, PA/Downingtown East) and Nicole Bowersox (Penns Valley, PA/Penn Valley). A sacrifice fly from Lauren Pier (New Brighton, PA/New Brighton) scored one runner and an error by Scranton scored another. Scranton quickly answered with 5 runs of their own in the bottom of the inning which seemed to set the tone for back and forth scoring in the game. Beaver tied the score (5-5) in the top of the third and then added six more runs in the top of the fourth inning as Borrell, Jenna Petrucci (New Castle, PA/Shenango), Rachael Charlier (Burgettstown, PA/Burgettstown) and Bowersox all doubled. Taylor Larson (Beaver, PA/Beaver) added a 2 RBI triple in the inning as well to make the score 11-5 midway through the inning. Beaver continued to hit well as they scored an additional five runs in the last three innings of the game giving them a total of 24 hits in their 16-11 victory.
All but one player earned at least one hit in the game including 4 players who doubled (Borrell, Bowersox, Petrucci, Charlier) and 2 players who tripled (Larson, Charlier).
In the second game of the afternoon, things got off to a slower start as Beaver went down one run to start the game, but quickly turned the tides in the top of the third inning as they put five runs on the board coming from Borrell, Pier, Larson, Bowersox and Petrucci. Beaver then secured their lead in the fourth inning as they put an astonishing nine runs on the board to go up 14-2 halfway through the inning. Scranton was only able to muster three runs in the inning and Beaver wenr on to win in a 5 inning game by a final score of 14-5.
Offensively all nine batters for Beaver contributed at least one hit again with three players hitting doubles (Borrell, Bowersox, Petrucci) and Pier who tripled.
The pair of wins gives Beaver a conference record of 5-9 as they are scheduled to compete against Penn State Hazleton tomorrow afternoon in another PSUAC double header.
