Marywood Drops Non-Conference Doubleheader to Wilkes

Scranton, Pa. - Marywood University was edged by Wilkes 2-1 in their non-conference softball doubleheader opening game before the Colonels cruised to a 8-1 win in the nightcap.  The losses drop the Pacers to 6-8 while Wilkes improves to 13-5.

In the opener, Alexa Scala went deep to the opposite field to give the Pacers an early 1-0 advantage.  Kirstie Alvarez pitched strong, holding the Colonels off the board until the sixth.

There, the visitors tied the game on a homer of their own, and claimed the 2-1 win with a single run in the seventh off a solo homer.  Marywood could not find the tying run in the last half-inning.

Alvarez suffered the loss and fell to 4-3 on the year despite a solid outing.  Wilkes' Gracen Stauton improved to 6-1 by striking out four. Both pitchers threw complete games.  

Sarah Witte and Annie Heyen both went 2-for-3 at the plate for the Pacers with a double apiece.  

The nightcap proved much different as Wilkes exploded for eight runs. The Colonels scored once third and added two runs in both the fourth and fifth before finalizing the score with a three-run sixth. 

Witte managed two of Marywod's five hits in game two.  Amanda Bridgwood (1-3) took the loss after 4.1 innings of work.

Wilkes outhit Marywood 26-10 over the two games.  The Pacers are slated to travel to Gwynedd Mercy on Saturday for a CSAC doubleheader that will begin at 2:00 pm.
