Susquehanna Softball Splits Landmark Doubleheader with Catholic

Selinsgrove, Pa. – The Susquehanna University softball team opened up the home portion of their 2019 schedule Sunday afternoon with a Landmark Conference twin bill against The Catholic University of America. Susquehanna (6-7, 1-1 LC) split the day with Catholic (7-9, 3-1 LC), dropping the first game, 4-1, before rebounding with a 6-4 victory in the nightcap.

Sophomore infielder Kody Streeter (Boyertown, Pa./Boyertown), the No. 8 hitter, connected on a one-out double to centerfield to drive in freshman pinch runner Katie Welker (Williamsport, Pa./Loyalsock Township).
  • The Cardinals responded with two runs in the top of the fifth behind a one-out RBI double from Sabrina Scott and a two-out RBI single from Allie Lajeunesse.
  • Sophomore Brooke Wiarda (Green Pond, N.J./Morris Knolls) kept CUA off the scoreboard in the sixth but Catholic tacked on two more in the seventh thanks in part to a pair of SU errors.

How It Happened
  • Catholic jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning as the Cardinals scored two runs on a pair of RBI ground outs by Scott and Juliet Lodes while Taylor Forgen came home on a wild pitch.
  • The River Hawks answered right back in their half of the first as junior captain Kasey Bost (Eldersburg, Md./Liberty), the No. 3 hitter, knocked in freshman catcher Katie Koch (West Milton, Pa./Lewisburg Area), who drew a leadoff walk, with a one-out double to left center. Bost then came home on an RBI single off the bat of senior designated player Jill Ahrens (Clarence, N.Y./Sacred Heart), trimming the deficit to 3-2.
  • The Cardinals went up 4-2 in third when Scott hit a two-out solo shot over the left field fence.
  • Susquehanna pulled within one once again in the fourth following sophomore infielder Madison Lane's (Havertown, Pa./Haverford) sacrifice fly to right field to score junior pinch runner Morgan Derrick (Basking Ridge, N.J./Ridge).
