River Hawk Softball Takes Two from Drew on Senior Day

Selinsgrove, Pa. – Senior captain Alexa Gonzalez (Northport, N.Y./Northport) struck out a career-best nine batters and went 3-for-3 at the plate while sophomore infielder Brittany Hebda (Kingston, Pa./Holy Redeemer) smacked a two-run home run to lead the Susquehanna University softball team to a Landmark Conference sweep Saturday afternoon on Senior Day. Susquehanna (13-10, 4-4 LC) extended its win streak to five with 8-6 and 5-2 triumphs over Drew University (10-22, 1-7 LC).
 
Game 1
Susquehanna 8, Drew 6
 
How It Happened
  • Junior captain Kasey Bost (Eldersburg, Md./Liberty) and senior outfielder Jill Ahrens (Clarence, N.Y./Sacred Heart) each crossed home plate in the bottom of the first inning on a fielding error by the shortstop with two outs on the board to give the River Hawks in early 2-0 lead.
  • SU tacked on two more runs in the fourth for a 4-0 advantage as freshman pinch runner Katie Welker (Williamsport, Pa./Loyalsock Township) scored on a wild pitch while freshman infielder Erin Bean (Watchung, N.J./Watchung Hills) came home on Ahrens' RBI single. Drew got out of the inning with a double play.
  • The Rangers responded in the top of the fifth with four runs to draw even, tallying a run on a one-out wild pitch and recording another on an SU fielding error while Sophie Sirota connected on a two-out, two-RBI single up the middle.
  • Susquehanna broke the 4-4 stalemate in its half of the fifth with four runs of its own. Sophomore outfielder Katherine Fahsbender (Sparta, N.J./Pope John XXIII) drove in freshman infielder Kiara Bryant (Allentown, Pa./Parkland), who lead off the inning with a triple, before three consecutive RBI doubles helped the hosts double up on Drew, 8-4.
  • Drew got two back in the sixth thanks to Paxtan Perry's two-out, two-RBI double.
  • After a lead-off single, Cara O'Leary retired the River Hawk side in order in the sixth.
  • Gonzalez bookended the seventh with a pair of strikeouts to seal the River Hawks' two-run win.
