Behrend Sweeps Medaille in AMCC Softball Doubleheader
The
Behrend Lions pushed their record to 22-4 and 9-1 in Allegheny
Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) play as they defeated the
visiting Medaille Mavericks 8-0 and 11-7 in a doubleheader on
Wednesday. The blue and white improved to 8-0 at home and have
now won five straight games.
In game one freshmen Katie Whitby (Tyrone/Tyrone) went
3-for-4 and scored three runs while freshman Lindsay Baughman
(Warren/Warren) was 3-for-3 with two RBIs. Freshman Julie
Koman (McKees Rocks/Montour) pitched six shutout innings and struck
out nine to pick up her eleventh win on the season.
In game two, Behrend got home runs from both Whitby and freshman
Rachelle Lawrence (Warren Center/Northeast Bradford) as they built a
10-2 lead. Medaille (13-17, 4-8) would respond with five more
runs but ran out of time as the game was called in the sixth inning
due to thunderstorms. Whitby and Lawrence each collected three
RBIs while junior Kristin Macha (Export/Franklin) went 3-for-4.
Behrend had 15 hits in the game and junior pitcher Sandy Jaussi (Bethel Park/Bethel Park)
got the win.
Behrend is back in action on Saturday, April 15 when
they host a doubleheader against AMCC opponent Mt. Aloysius with an early start
time of 10:00 a.m.
