Softball Drops A Pair At Cedar Crest

ALLENTOWN (Pa.) – The Delaware Valley University softball team suffered at doubleheader sweep at the hands of host Cedar Crest College on Wednesday night. The Aggies lost the first game, 10-7, and dropped the second, 8-7.

The Flacons improved to 6-11 overall while DelVal dropped to 6-8.

Cedar Crest loaded the bases in the first inning and Delaney VanBuskirk cleared them with a double to left center for an early 3-0 advantage.

The Aggies tied the game in the top of the third with a two-out rally sparked by the first career home run by freshman Faith Sleva. Maddy O'Donohue made it back-to-back jacks with her first of the season and the ninth of her career. Jamie Stefani kept the rally going with a triple in the next at-bat and Caitlin Stoner drove her in to knot the game at 3-3.

The Falcons put up seven runs over the next three frames to take a commanding 10-4 lead after five innings.

In an effort to comeback, Stefani hit her third homerun in four games to lead off the seventh and make it 10-5. It was her fourth homer this year, matching her season-high, and the eleventh of her career. Later in the frame, rookie Caitlyn Pollock doubled home Morgan Hawk and Kayla Keller came up next to drive her in and make it a three-run game. That is all the offense could muster in the final frame and Cedar Crest took game one, 10-7.

The Aggies got 13 hits in the game from eight different players. O'Donohue and Stefani finished 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI, each and Sleva was 2-for-3. Stefani struck out seven batters from the circle, but suffered the loss.

In game two, DelVal jumped all over the Falcons with six runs on five hits in the first two innings and led 6-1 going into the third. Sleva, Julie Burns, and Olivia Monismith each had RBI knocks during the spurt. Sleva picked up her third RBI of the day with a sacrifice fly in the third, and the Aggies led 7-1.

Cedar Crest rallied to tie the game with six runs on nine hits over the next two frames, and the game was 7-7 going into the fifth. The Falcons broke the tie in the bottom of the sixth as Riley Tremblay got aboard with a two-out single and Aimee Sarboukh drove her in with a double for, ultimately, the game-winning run. The Aggies went down in order in the seventh and the home team won the game 8-7 to earn the sweep.

DelVal had seven hits in the nightcap and Stefani led the way with a 2-for-3 effort with two runs scored and an RBI. Sleva was 1-for-2 with a walk, a run scored, and a pair of runs driven in and Monismith finished with two RBIs. In the circle, Monismith pitched 3.2 innings and struck out seven batters while walking four and Pollock pitched the final 2.1 allowing three hits and one earned run.

The Aggies will get back to Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom play on Saturday at nationally-ranked, and defending conference champion, Manhattanville College. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m.
