The Edinboro softball team won the first half
of a doubleheader at Wheeling Jesuit, 5-3, but could not complete
the sweep, falling 6-2 in the second game. Vanessa Rose
(Akron, OH/Manchester) improved to 3-1, throwing seven innings
and striking out a season-high 10 batters. The sophomore allowed
three runs on five hits and walked five.
The Fighting Scots are now 7-5 and play at
Walsh on Tuesday, March 28 before opening up conference play on
Friday, March 31 at home against Indiana (Pa.).
Katelyn Gurgiolo (Stow, OH/Medina) led
off game one with an infield single and then stole second base.
Dana Webb (Amherst, NY/Williamsville South) followed with
a triple to score freshman Gurgiolo and Mandie Iorfido
(Ambridge, PA/Ambridge) then singled to score Webb.
Edinboro would take a 3-0 lead in the top of
the fourth. Iorfido recorded her second single of the day, moving
to second on Leanne Carmichael’s (Pinehurst, MA/Billerica
Memorial) sacrifice. Iorfido came around to score on a
sacrifice fly by freshman Danielle Arno (Manlius,
NY/Fayetteville-Manlius).
Wheeling Jesuit would score two runs in the
bottom half of the fourth and one in the bottom of the fifth to
tie the game at three runs apiece, but the Fighting Scots would
add two more runs in the top of the sixth for the game’s
final score.
Iorfido and Jessica Lindamood (Hartville,
OH/Lake) both finished the day 2 for 3 at the plate, while
Arno contributed two RBIs.
In the second contest, Edinboro was unable to
make it two in a row over Wheeling Jesuit. Dana Webb (Amherst,
NY/Williamsville South) scored the Fighting Scots first run in
the top of the first, cranking a triple and then scoring on the
Wheeling Jesuit throwing error. Edinboro’s lead would not
last for long as Wheeling Jesuit responded with three runs in the
bottom of the first, one in the third and two in the fifth.
Trailing 6-1 in the top of the sixth, Edinboro
would score its second and final run of the game. Mary Lynn
Arlotta (N. Tonawanda, NY/Mount St. Mary Academy) doubled with
two outs to plate Danielle Arno (Manlius,
NY/Fayetteville-Manlius) but was picked off after taking a
wide turn around second to end the inning.
Jessica Lindamood (Hartville, OH/Lake) took
the loss for the Scots, falling to 1-2 on the season. The junior
gave up six earned runs on seven hits while striking out three and
walking three.
