Softball Comes Back to Complete Sweep
The Muhlenberg softball team came back from an early 5-1 deficit to walk off Ferrum, 7-6 and complete a 2-0 day at the Triangle Collegiate Classic in Raleigh.
The first game was far less dramatic, with the Mules (4-2) pounding out 20 hits and scoring multiple runs in every inning of an 18-3 win against Elmira.
Ferrum (2-10) scored three in the first and two in the second to open up a big advantage in the second game. Sophomore Samantha Fehrenbach came on in relief in the second and quieted the storm, allowing no earned runs in the remaining 5.1 innings to give the Mules a chance to come back.
And come back they did. Sophomore Skyla Campisi (pictured above) led off the second with her first career home run, and junior Maddy Svenningsen hit a two-out, two-run single in the fourth to bring Muhlenberg to within a run.
It was 6-4 when the Mules came to bat for the final time in the bottom of the seventh. An error, a walk and a pinch-hit single by freshman Morgan Bobrowski loaded the bases with one out. After sophomore Lillie Teague brought in one run with a groundout, the Panthers committed an error on the next ground ball, allowing the tying and winning runs to come home.
Eleven different players recorded hits, 11 scored runs and 10 drove in runs in the first game as Muhlenberg had 20 hits in a game for just the fourth time in program history, and the first since 1987.
Freshman Hailey Godin led the way by going 4-for-5, including a double, and scoring three runs. Junior Scooter Hulsen went 3-for-3, and Teague drove in four runs with a two-run single in the first, groundout in the second and sac fly in the third.
Senior Kaya Mahy capped the three-run second with her third home run of the season, and the 12th of her career.
Bobrowski had two hits, including a double, and worked the first three innings to earn her first career win.
Freshman Averi Galioto hit run-scoring singles in each of the first two at-bats of her career, while classmate Ellie Williams singled in a run in her first career at-bat.
