DALLAS, Pa. – The Susquehanna softball team swept a Tuesday afternoon doubleheader from Misericordia to win its 11^th and 12^th-straight games of the spring.

SU (33-6) won game one 6-0, its ninth shutout of the year, before winning game two by a 7-3 score.

In the opening game, Sarah Hoffman (Laceyville, Pa./Wyalusing Valley) tossed the complete-game shutout, scattering only five hits over her seven innings of work.

Larissa Luu (Montandon, Pa./Milton) was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and Amanda Neveroski (Toms River, N.J./Toms River North) led the team with two RBI.

After scoreless first two innings, the Crusaders put three runs on the board in the third inning on four hits and one Misericordia area. Susquehanna opened the inning with four-straight hits, including a two-RBI single from Neveroski. A fielding error allowed the inning's third run to score for the 3-0 SU lead.

The very next inning Susquehanna plated another three runs. Brittany Devlin (Furlong, Pa./Central Bucks East) was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to drive in the first run and Lauren Gilbert (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley) worked a bases-loaded walk to make it a 5-0 lead. Another fielding error allowed the inning's third run to score to give SU the 6-0 lead after five innings.

Hoffman stranded two Cougars runners in the sixth and another in the seventh to pick up her 11^th win of the spring.

Morgan Lewis (Newtown, Pa./Council Rock North) started game two and gave up just one unearned run on three hits in her four full innings of work. Ashley Cole (Carle Place, N.Y./Carle Place) pitched the final three innings and surrendered two runs on three hits.

At the plate, Alyssa Cantalini (Kitchener, Ontario/St. David Catholic Secondary) 2-for-4 with two runs scored while Stephanie Chlebove (Northampton, Pa./Northampton Area) was 1-for-3 with two RBI.

SU broke a scoreless tie in the fourth after Cantalini led off the inning with a double and scored on a fielder's choice ball. Anna Heggenstaller (Liverpool, Pa./Greenwood) scored the inning's second run on another fielder's choice and Luu hit into a third fielder's choice to drive home Taylor Brady (Phillipsburg, N.J./Bethlehem Catholic) for a 3-0 Susquehanna lead.

Misericordia got back one of those runs in the bottom of the third but Susquehanna tacked on another four runs the very next inning with Chlebove driving in two of the four runs with a double to left center.

Cole came in to pitch in the bottom of the fifth and gave up two runs as the Cougars trimmed SU's lead to four (7-3). Cole pitched a scoreless final two innings, however, to preserve the Susquehanna victory.

The Crusaders now turn their attention to the Landmark Conference Tournament which they host on Friday, May 3 and Saturday, May 4. SU first faces Juniata on Friday at 11 a.m.
