The Edinboro softball team lost both ends of a
doubleheader at Walsh, falling 4-3 in the first contest and 1-0 in
the second. Errors and base running mistakes plagued the Scots in
each game.
Katelyn Gurgiolo (Stow, OH/Medina) led
off the top of the first for the Fighting Scots with a walk and
moved to second on a sacrifice by Hannah Kipfer (Meadville,
PA/Meadville). Freshman Dana Webb (Amherst,
NY/Williamsville South) drilled her fourth double of the
season to plate Gurgiolo.
Walsh tied the game in the bottom of the fourth
but Edinboro answered in the top of the sixth with two runs. Danielle
Arno (Manlius, NY/Fayetteville-Manlius) and Leanne
Carmichael (Pinehurst, MA/Billerica Memorial) led off the
sixth with back-to-back singles. Cyndi Carnaghi (White Plains,
NY/White Plains) advanced the runners and Kipfer promptly
belted a double to plate both Arno and Carmichael to give the
Scots a 2-1 lead.
The Cavs responded in the bottom of the sixth
with three runs on two Fighting Scots’ errors to take the
lead for good. Vanessa Rose (Akron, OH/Manchester) fell to
3-2 with the loss. The sophomore went six innings, giving up four
runs and striking out six.
The second-half of the twinbill proved to be
just as frustrating for Edinboro. Two errors in the bottom of the
third allowed Walsh to take a 1-0 lead, and that’s all Cavs’
pitcher Megan Pisciotta would need. Pisciotto blanked the Fighting
Scots, giving up four hits to just two Edinboro batters, Katelyn
Gurgiolo (Stow, OH/Medina) and Mandie Iorfido (Ambridge,
PA/Ambridge).
Jessica Lindamood (Hartville, OH/Lake)
went the distance for the Scots, falling to 1-2 on the season.
The Fighting Scots now own a 7-7 record heading
into this weekend’s play. Edinboro will open Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference play on Friday, March 31 at home against
Western Division opponent, Indiana (Pa.). The first pitch is set
for 2:00 p.m. The Scots then travel to Slippery Rock the following
day, April 1, for another PSAC West doubleheader.
