The Muhlenberg softball team erupted for 19 runs and 19 hits in the second game of its doubleheader at Elizabethtown, gaining a split with a 19-2 win.

The 19 runs were the most scored by the Mules (18-6) in 20 years, since a 22-0 win against Swarthmore in 1999. Fueling the outburst was a 10-run second inning, Muhlenberg's first double-digit frame since 2014, also against Swarthmore. 

Muhlenberg sent 14 batters to the plate in the second, tying a 32-year-old school record with 11 hits. Freshman Genna Cicchetti drove in the first of the 10 runs with a double, and she hit an RBI single later in the inning. Junior Sarah Schubert also had two run-scoring hits, a double and a triple, in the inning.

The big inning was just the beginning, as the Mules added three in the fourth and six in the fifth.

Freshman Sarah Karmazyn drove in three runs, and sophomore Elise Enslin scored four runs (one short of the school record). Sophomores Sophie Chong and Ariana Feliziani both rapped two-run doubles in the fifth, an inning that also featured the first career hits for sophomore Talia Hawkins and freshman Madison Palat.

The run support was more than enough for freshman Cora Bridgers, who pitched a five-hitter to earn her 10th win of the season. She struck out eight to bring her season total to 91, tying the school record for a freshman. 

In the opening game, the Blue Jays (8-16) scored six runs in their half of the second inning and went on to an 8-3 win. Enslin and Cicchetti (pictured above) hit run-scoring doubles for the Mules, and freshman Sarah Raab pitched 4 1/3 solid innings in relief, allowing only one run.
