up eight hits and striking out five. The sophomore allowed just

trouble in the bottom of the sixth. With two outs, IUP used seven
consecutive hits, including a 2-RBI triple by Jodie Swavely, to
plate five runs for the game’s final score.
The Fighting Scots had runners in scoring
position in each of the first three innings, including a
bases-loaded opportunity in the third, but could not push a run
across the board against Swavely. IUP’s senior pitcher struck
out seven en route to her seventh shutout performance of the year.

plate.
In the second half of the twin-bill, IUP took
an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first and added another run
in the bottom of the third. Edinboro would score its only run of
the game in the top of the sixth when Leanne Carmichael
(Pinehurst, MA/Billerica Memorial) reached on an error and
advanced to second on the sacrifice by Danielle Arno (Manlius,
NY/Fayetteville-Manlius). Jessica Lindamood (Hartville,
OH/Lake) moved pinch-runner Ashleigh Smith (Mars, PA/Mars)
to third and Kipfer’s double scored Smith for the game’s
final score.
Rose recorded her second loss of the day,
giving up five hits and two earned runs in 1 1/3 innings. The
