Softball Walks Off on a McNally Walk to Split with Colonels

Emma McNally draws a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the seventh

Scranton, Pa. — Emma McNally drew a walk-off walk to give Marywood University a 3-2 victory over Wilkes University Thursday in non-conference softball. The Pacers lost 14-4 in six innings in the nightcap. 

Marywood ends a seven-game losing streak at the hands of the Colonels. The Pacers beat Wilkes for the first time since another one-run win over the Colonels on April 24, 2016. 

McNally capped off a 3 for 3 performance in the opener. She finished with two doubles and two RBIs. McNally reached four times.

Abbey Stalter also went 3 for 3 with three singles and a run scored. Emily Rose doubled as part of a 2 for 4 effort.

Mara Hamm (7-7) returned to the win column with a complete game performance. She allowed one earned run and five hits with five strikeouts. At the plate, Hamm was 2 for 4 with an RBI.

With the score evened at 2-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh, Tori Para reached on a fielding error by the first baseman. Sam Baltrusaitis and Brooke McKay drew walks to load the bases with no outs. McNally walked on a 3-2 count to secure the win. 

Marywood trailed in the sixth inning. McNally hit a leadoff double. Stalter sprayed a single to center field and advanced to second base when center fielder Hana Cross gunned down McNally at home plate. Hamm tied the game by launching a single to right center to bring in Stalter. 

The Pacers took an early lead in the bottom of the second inning. Baltrusaitis legged out a single to the pitcher and stole second base. McNally brought in the first run with a single to center field. 

Game 2: Wilkes 14, Marywood 4 (6 inn.)

The Colonels scored 10 runs in the top of the first inning. Marywood battled to score four unanswered runs until the Colonels closed out the game with four runs in the sixth inning. 

McNally finished 2 for 3 with a run and an RBI. Para hit a double and triple in each of her plate appearances to complement two RBIs. Baltrusaitis scored two runs. 

Wilkes' Cross and Nicole Howell each finished with two hits and three RBIs. Olivia Dougher batted 4 for 4 with two runs and an RBI. 

Marywood closes out its Atlantic East slate with a doubleheader against Immaculata University on Saturday.
