Softball Drops Opener to Mount Union

Leesburg, Fla. - It took the international tie-breaking rule and extra innings but Mount Union completed a late rally to down Marywood University 8-7 in eight innings Monday afternoon in the Pacers' season opener.

Marywood (0-1) broke open a scoreless game with a six-run fourth, but the Raiders answered with seven over the next two innings, including a five-run sixth, to force extra frames. There, Mount Union scored the game-winning run thanks to an early implementation of the international tie-breaking rule where teams start extra innings with a runner on second base.  

Mount Union (3-3) had seven total hits and limited Marywood to just five.  All six of Marywood's fourth-inning runs were unearned.  Hailey Raspisardi had a pinch-hit two-run single.  Kirstie Alvarez (0-1) took the loss.

Marywood takes on North Park University at 2:00 pm to close out their opening day in Florida.
