Softball Lebanon Valley College 8, Delaware
Valley 0 (Game 1 - 5 innings) Delaware Valley 3, Lebanon Valley College 2 (Game
2) ANNVILLE (PA) - Delaware Valley College moved its record
to 4-7 on the season as the Aggies split a non-conference doubleheader at Lebanon
Valley College. The Aggies dropped an 8-0 decision in the opener, but came back
to take the nightcap, 3-2. Delaware Valley trailed 1-0 in the second game
before Katie Leach's double in the third inning scored Kim Harle. The Aggies then
took the lead for good in the fourth as they scored two runs on two hits and a
pair of Lebanon Valley errors. Maureen Ferguson brought home one of the runs with
an RBI single while an errant throw on the same play made it 3-1. The
Flying Dutchmen (8-2) pulled to within one in the fifth and put the tying run
on third base with one out in the sixth inning. However, Delaware Valley pitcher
Kirstyn Ruhling got Gina Battistelli to hit into a double play. Ruhling
came into the game in relief of Stephanie Raziano in the fourth inning and allowed
just one run and three hits while picking up her third win of the season (3-2).
Six different players notched a hit for the Aggies. Ruhling started the
opener and allowed just two earned runs and four hits in four innings of work,
but Lebanon Valley hurler Kelly O'Toole was the story as she notched a five-inning,
no-hitter (game called in the fifth due to the eight-run mercy rule). O'Toole
allowed just one runner as Nicole Dorney reached on an error in the second inning.
