EDINBORO, PA – The Edinboro University
softball team opened the northern portion of its schedule with a
doubleheader split at Fairmont State on Saturday. The Fighting
Scots won the first game behind a strong outing from Vanessa
Rose (Akron, OH/Manchester), 3-1, before committing five
errors in the nightcap and dropping a 7-0 decision.
Edinboro is now 6-4 while Fairmont State shows
a 10-16 ledger. The Fighting Scots will play another twinbill in
West Virginia on Sunday, playing at Wheeling Jesuit.
Rose improved to 2-1 with a strong effort
against the Falcons. The sophomore went the distance, tossing a
three-hitter while giving up just one unearned run. She walked
three and struck out seven.
The Fighting Scots took a 1-0 lead in the top
of the second as Dana Webb (Amherst, NY/Williamsvile South)
led off with a double, moved to third on a passed ball, and
scored on Danielle Arno’s (Manlius,
NY/Fayetteville-Manlius) sacrifice fly. Arnold, a freshman,
also plated the second run, as Mandie Iorfido (Ambridge,
PA/Ambridge) singled in the fourth inning and moved to second
on a passed ball before scoring on Arno’s single. The scots
added an insurance run in the sixth inning on a Iorfido sacrifice
fly.
The win in the first game snapped a three-game
losing streak, but Edinboro was unable to maintain the momentum in
the second contest, managing just four hits while committing five
errors. Amy Filius shut the Scots down, not allowing a walk and
striking out five. She got all the support she needed from Julie
Bolyard, who belted a two-run homer in the second inning. The
Falcons plated four runs in the second and two in the third.
Katelyn Gurgiolo (Stow, OH/Medina) went
2-for-3 for the Scots. Mary Lynn Arlotta (North Tonawanda,
NY/Mount St. Mary Academy) fell to 2-1 while going the
distance, allowing five hits and four walks with six strikeouts in
six innings. She gave up five earned runs.
