GANNON SOFTBALL TEAM SWEEPS
DOUBLEHEADER AT SETON HILL
GREENSBURG,
Pa. - The Gannon softball team snapped a five-game losing streak Wednesday
afternoon with a non-conference doubleheader sweep at Seton Hill. The Lady
Knights posted the sweep by scores of 6-0 and 6-3.
In the opener, Gannon scored the only run it would need in the top of the
first inning. Jaclyn Corroto (Boardman, Ohio/Boardman) and Holli
Michaels (Tacoma, Wash./Curtis) led of the game with back-to-back singles.
After a wild pitch moved the runners up, Corroto scored on a Kara Hensley
(Waterville, Ohio/Anthony Wayne) RBI single.
Gannon added three more runs in the fourth inning on three walks, two hits,
and an error. The Lady Knights posted two insurance runs in the sixth on
a two-run double by Hensley.
Corroto, Michaels, Hensley, and Hannah Koenig (Erie, Pa./McDowell)
had two hits each. Hensley recorded three of Gannon’s five RBI.
Lauren Soldner (Sylvania, Ohio/Sylvania Southview) improved to 8-4 with
five shutout innings. The redshirt junior limited Seton Hill to one hit while
striking out eight and walking one. Kadie Ondrus (Curtice, Ohio/Clay)
tossed two shutout innings in relief without allowing a hit. She struck
out two and walked one.
Gannon fell behind 1-0 in the first inning of the nightcap, but exploded
with four runs in the third inning. Corroto and Carol Kienzl (Pittsburgh,
Pa./Baldwin) had RBI singles while two more runs scored on errors.
The Lady Knights added a fifth run on a Corroto double in the fourth inning
and one more via an error in the fifth inning.
Seton Hill tried to rally with two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning,
but it wasn’t nearly enough as Gannon completed the sweep with a 6-3 victory.
Michaels went 3-for-4 with one run scored in the second game, finishing the
doubleheader with five hits in seven at-bats. Corroto and Kienzl added two
hits each.
Kelsey Brickman (Sylvania, Ohio/Notre Dame Academy) recorded her fifth
complete game of the season, improving to 5-4. The sophomore allowed three
runs on eight hits, striking out six and walking one.
