Game 2
EDINBORO, PA – The Edinboro University
softball team fell twice in a PSAC West doubleheader to Lock
Haven, the fifth-ranked team in Division II by the National
Fastpitch Coaches Association, losing 1-0 in the first contest and
8-2 in the second.
The Fighting Scots played flawless defense
against the Lady Eagles in the first half of the twin-bill, but
could not get the bats going against Lock Haven’s Kristin
Erb. The freshman allowed just five hits and struck out eight.
The only run of the game scored in the third
inning. Vanessa Rose (Akron, OH/Manchester) hit Lock Haven’s
Courtney Hughes and next batter Danielle Fraser doubled with one
out to score Hughes from first. Rose went the distance, giving up
eight hits and striking out five.
Lock Haven threatened again in the top of the
fourth with two out and runners on first and second, but
centerfielder Cyndi Carnaghi (White Plains, NY/White Plains)
fired a strike for the inning’s final out to third baseman
Danielle Arno (Manlius, NY/Fayetteville-Manlius), catching
Lock Haven runner Julia Popovich trying to go first-to-third
before the runner on second could score.
In the second game, Lock Haven jumped out to an
early 2-0 lead, but the Fighting Scots would come back in the
bottom of the fourth to tie the game. With two outs, Arno reached
on an error by the catcher and Jessica Lindamood (Hartville,
OH/Lake) followed with a single while Hannah Kipfer
(Meadville, PA/Meadville) was hit by a pitch to load the
bases. Carnaghi then drilled a single to plate Arno and Lindamood.
Edinboro would not score again on the day, while Lock Haven
answered with four runs in the top of the fifth and one each in
the top of the sixth and seventh innings.
Rose took the loss in game two, throwing six
innings and striking out five. The sophomore falls to 8-13 on the
season. Kim Kurchev (Mogadore, OH/Mogadore) threw an
inning in relief of Rose, allowing one earned run on three hits.
The Fighting Scots fall to 12-22 overall, 5-11
in the PSAC West, while league-leading Lock Haven improves to
37-3, 16-0 in the PSAC West. Edinboro hosts PSAC West opponent
Clarion in its final regular season home doubleheader on Friday,
