Jackie Gore doubled home the tying run and then came around to score the game winner two batters later as the Susquehanna University Softball team salvaged a split of a doubleheader with Lycoming College with a 2-1 win in eight innings in the second game of the twin bill. The Warriors took a 2-0 decision of the opener at Sassafras Field in Selinsgrove.

Susquehanna (19-7) played to a scoreless tie with Lycoming (19-7) through the first seven innings of regulation before moving to extra innings and the international tie breaker rule.

Lycoming scored a run in the top of the eighth inning with a sacrifice bunt and a double. With two runners on base, Alexa Gonzalez was able to get an infield pop out to end the inning.

In the bottom half of the inning, Kelly Miller converted a sacrifice bunt to move Heather Pearson to third. Gore followed with a double to left centerfield to score Pearson for the tying run.

With two outs, Amanda Seckinger was inserted as a pinch hitter and reached base on a fielding error which also allowed Gore to come around and score the game-winning run for the 2-1 Susquehanna victory.

Emilie Boman led the River Hawks with a 2-for-3 effort at the plate while Gore and Kasey Bost had one hit each. Gonzalez allowed four hits and one run with four strikeouts to pick up her 10^th win of the season.

In game one, Boman, Miller, Pearson and Lauren Creamer all had hits but the River Hawks were unable to score as Lycoming posted a 2-0 win.

The Warriors scored once in the third with a pair of singles and a sacrifice bunt. They added a second run in the seventh inning as a result of a two-out walk, single and run-scoring double.

Senior Jamie Fesinstine pitched well in the loss allowing six hits and two runs with six strike outs.

The River Hawks return to Landmark Conference play Saturday with a trip to Juniata for a 1 p.m. doubleheader.
