Bost Collects 100th Career Hit as River Hawk Softball Splits at Elizabethtown

Elizabethtown, Pa. – Junior captain Kasey Bost (Eldersburg, Md./Liberty) hit a career milestone Saturday afternoon as the Susquehanna University softball team took one of two in Landmark Conference action. Susquehanna (9-10, 2-4 LC) dropped a disappointing 5-3 loss in the first game before rebounding with a 13-0 victory in five innings to notch the split with Elizabethtown College (9-17, 1-5 LC).
 
Game 1
Susquehanna 3, Elizabethtown 5
 
How It Happened
  • Bost drove in the River Hawks first run of the game with her 100th career hit – a one-out single down the leftfield line – before coming home on sophomore infielder Kody Streeter's (Boyertown, Pa./Boyertown) two-run single up the middle for a 3-0 SU lead in the top of the first inning.
  • Elizabethtown got all three runs back in its half of the first as Emma Varrato's three-run home run over the centerfield fence. Senior captain Alexa Gonzalez (Northport, N.Y./Northport) walked the next two batters before freshman Katie Murphy (Havre de Grace, Md./C. Milton Wright) relieved Gonzalez and retired the next three batters in order to get Susquehanna out of the jam and end the inning.
  • The contest remained tied until the bottom of the fourth inning when Varrato struck again, this time with a two-out, two-run dinger down the leftfield line.
  • Amber Sergas silenced the River Hawk bats in the final three innings, limiting SU to just three additional hits.
 
Inside the Box Score
  • Elizabethtown earned its first conference win of the season by connecting on 11 hits for five runs while not committing any errors. The Blue Jays collected two extra-base hits and stole two bases.
  • The River Hawks tallied three runs on eight hits and committed one error while stealing four bases, including three by junior outfielder Emily Lear (Elmira, N.Y./Thomas Edison).
 
Top Performers
  • Lear paced SU at the plate with a 2-for-3 effort and a run scored while Bost finished 1-for-2 with two walks, a run, and an RBI.
  • Gonzalez faced five batters in the first, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and two walks, before Murphy came in and took the loss in the pitching circle. Murphy (1-4) struck out three and gave up two earned runs on nine hits.
  • Varrato went 3-for-4 with two homers, five RBI, and two runs scored. Amber Sergas (4-8) pitched the complete game win, yielding three runs (all earned) on eight hits, six walks, and two hit batters while fanning four.
 
Game 2
Susquehanna 13, Elizabethtown 0 (5 inning)
 
How It Happened
  • Susquehanna picked up its sixth eight-run rule victory of the season in the nightcap as the River Hawks scored at least two runs in every inning except for the second inning where SU lead off with a single off the bat of freshman catcher Katie Koch (West Milton, Pa./Lewisburg Area) and used a freshman infielder Kiki Bryant (Allentown, Pa./Parkland) sacrifice bunt to advance Koch to second before the next batters grounded out to end the inning with no runs for the visitors.
  • The Rivers Hawks scored twice in the first, stretched the lead to 5-0 with three runs in the third before widening the gap to 8-0 with three more runs in the fourth. SU did the most damage in the fifth with five runs.

  • Elizabethtown recorded five hits and committed two errors as the Blue Jays were held scoreless for the third time this season.
 
Top Performers
  • Koch and sophomore infielder Brittany Hebda (Kingston, Pa./Holy Redeemer) each had a 3-for-3 showing to lead the team offensively. Hebda drove in three runs, scored one, and drew a walk while Koch brought in two runs.
