Delaware Valley 4, Wesley College 3

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH (SC) -- For the second time this season, the Delaware Valley College softball team used defensive heroics to save a victory as the Aggies picked up a 4-3 triumph over Wesley College on Tuesday.

Delaware Valley (3-1) held a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the seventh, but Wesley had runners on second and third with just one out. A Wesley player hit a long drive to centerfield that may have been a potential game-winning home run.

However, Aggie center fielder Katie Leach caught the ball while crashing into the wall. The runner on third tagged up and easily scored and the runner on second tried to come all the way around for the game-tying run. Leach got up and threw a one-bounce strike to nail the runner for the final out of the game. One day earlier, Delaware Valley recorded a game-ending triple play for a 4-2 over New Jersey City University.

Michelle Smith picked up her second win of the season for the Aggies.
