Softball Swept By No. 24 Lynchburg

LYNCHBURG, Va. - In a road ODAC doubleheader on Saturday afternoon the Shenandoah University softball team lost a pair of two-run games against No. 24 University of Lynchburg.

SU (8-14, 0-8 ODAC) were tied with LYN (20-8, 8-4), 0-0, in game one but the home team scored a pair of runs in the sixth inning to take the first half of the doubleheader, while taking the latter half of the series, 4-2.

How It Happened
  • Shenandoah had the offense going early in the game, picking up all three of its hits in the first two innings. Tiffany Bower delivered the first hit of the afternoon with a double in the first, Brenna Westwood and Sarah Medellin followed the extra-base hit with a pair of singles in the second. Medellin's single put Westwood at third with no outs in the inning, but the nationally-ranked home team got the next three batters out to leave the inning with no damage done.
  • Following the first inning, Kayla Stephenson allowed just one LYN hit through the next four innings, keeping the nationally-ranked team off the board.
  • Lynchburg came alive in the sixth inning as with just out in the inning, LYN had two runners on base. Shenandoah got another out, now putting two outs in the inning. Lynchburg didn't let that faze them as they picked up back-to-back singles to put the only runs up on the board. A ground out and two pop-ups in the seventh inning ended the game for Shenandoah.

GAME TWO RECAP

Pitching Decisions
Winning Pitcher - Emily Charlton (5-1)

How It Happened
  • Shenandoah put runs on the board for the first time in the doubleheader in the first inning of game two. Brenna Westwood hit a triple to right field and put SU in reach of home plate. Savanna Thorne reached base on an LYN error and was able to bring Westwood home. SU led 1-0 after one.
  • The score stayed the same until Lynchburg opened up the game in the fourth inning. LYN led off the inning with a solo home run. The home squad then got a single and a walk, putting two more on base. Lynchburg capped off the inning with a three-run home run to right center, putting them up 4-1.
  • In the seventh, Shenandoah attempted a comeback and was helped out by Danille McNeill reaching base with a single. Allison McQueeny drove in McNeill by doubling to left center. That's where the comeback attempt ended, however, as Lynchburg got the final out to end the doubleheader.
