Tuesday's Softball Recap

Tuesday's Softball Recap

Gettysburg 9-3, Hood 0-6
Senior Adrienne Rahs (pictured, above) shattered Gettysburg’s career record for doubles as the Bullets knocked off Hood College 9-0 in the opening game of a non-conference doubleheader at Bobby Jones Field. The hosts came up short of the sweep as the Blazers held on for a 6-3 victory in the nightcap.  Rahs moved past Karyn Miller ’00 for the program record for doubles with 38. Rahs, who set Gettysburg’s single-season record for doubles with 15 last spring, has set or tied several program marks this year including career hit-by-pitches (19) and single-game home runs (2) and RBI (7). She is also just two RBI and four runs away from reaching the century mark in both of those categories.

McDaniel 12-2, Swarthmore 2-0
McDaniel scored nine runs in the top of the first inning of game one on just two hits to key a doubleheader sweep of Swarthmore in Centennial Conference (CC) softball action on Tuesday.  Caroline Brehm (Hanover, Pa./New Oxford), the reigning CC Pitcher of the Week, mowed down another 23 batters in 12 innings of work to crack the 200-K mark for the season to join only Ursinus' Lauren Davis as the only conference pitchers to fan 200-plus batters in a single season.

 

Muhlenberg 6-17, Haverford 0-13
Of the 23 runs the Muhlenberg softball team scored in its home doubleheader sweep of Haverford, six came in on errors, four on bases-loaded walks, two on fielder’s choice grounders and one on a sacrifice fly. There were a surprising lack of big hits for such a high score, but it was no surprise who had the biggest hit.
  Sophomore Kelly Kline the reigning Centennial Conference player of the week, hit her first career grand slam to cap a 10-run third inning that keyed a 17-13 win in Game 2. Behind the pitching of freshman Kelsey Jones, the Mules (11-11, 6-2) won the first game, 6-0.

 

Ursinus 8-12, Immaculata 1-5
Ursinus swept a doubleheader from Immaculata on Tuesday afternoon in non-conference softball action.  In game one, Ursinus held the Mighty Macs to just one hit in an 8-1 win, before roaring back to take the nightcap 12-5.
