Box Score 2 DOYLESTOWN (PA) – For the second time this season, senior centerfielder
Krystle Mazza tied the Delaware Valley College single-games records of two home runs and six RBIs as she led the Aggies to a non-conference doubleheader sweep of visiting Cabrini College, 7-3 and 11-2. The second game was called with two outs in the sixth inning due to the eight-run mercy rule.
Delaware Valley improved its overall record to 8-14 with the two wins while the Cavaliers fell to 9-13.
Mazza's heroics came in the nightcap as she matched her record-tying performance from the season-opening win over Drew University on the team's Spring Break trip to Florida. She finished the game 4-for-4 and scored three runs as she had an RBI double in the first, a run-scoring bunt single in the third and two-run homers in both the fifth and sixth innings. Mazza's seven home runs on the year (she had two in her first three years combined) leave her one shy of tying the school's single-season mark held by teammate
Jackie Wear (2012) and Bethany Pavlik (2009).
Wear also went deep in Thursday's second game and that two-run blast came in the four-run sixth inning. Wear was 2-for-3 with three runs scored, three stolen bases and two RBIs.
Allison Tomasino was 3-for-4 with two stolen bases and two run scored while
Rachel Metz added two hits and two RBIs.
Emily Gerhard picked up her second win of the season as she allowed two unearned run and five hits while striking out five in six innings of work.
The opener saw Cabrini jump out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the second on RBI singles by Bethany Feinberg and Molly McDougal. Delaware Valley responded with three tallies in its half of the stanza as
Tori Stachura knocked one in with a single and Tomasino ripped a two-run double.
The Cavaliers tied it up in the third as Feinberg delivered another run-scoring single. However,
Alexis Boucher gave the Aggies the lead for good in the bottom of the third as her single to right brought in both
Brittney Jones (single) and Wear (double). Stachura added a run-scoring single in the fourth and an RBI double in the sixth for the 7-3 final.
Stachura was 4-for-4 with three RBIs. Wear was 3-for-4 with three runs scored while Boucher had a 3-for-4 effort and knocked in a pair of runs.
Whitney Stacey pitched four-plus innings of two-hit ball and relief and picked up the win.
Feinberg was 2-for-3 with two RBIs while McDougal added two hits in four at-bats for Cabrini. Becca Miles was 3-for-4 and scored once.
