MADISON (Nj.)--- After trailing 6-0 heading to the seventh inning, the Delaware Valley softball team pushed across three runs in the top of the seventh, but were unable to complete the comeback as the Aggies fell to Drew 6-3 in game one. DelVal held a 10-6 lead after four innings in game two, but due to darkness, the game did not reach the official length of five innings, resulting in a no contest.
Drew (14-9) scored twice in the bottom of the first on two hits and an error to take a 2-0 lead. Molly O'Brien hit a solo homerun in the third to extend the lead to 3-0 and hit another homer in the fifth to make it 4-0. The Rangers plated two more runs in the sixth to take a 6-0 lead in to the seventh inning.
Madison Donnelly brought home the first run for the Aggies (5-17-1) in the seventh with an RBI groundout. An Olivia Rexrode sacrifice fly made it 6-2 and a fielding error by the Rangers with two outs brought home the Aggies' third run. With two outs and a runner on first, Drew was able to close out the game.
Carly Mahal led the Aggies going 2-for-4 with a run scored.
Molly O'Brien went 3-for-3 with two homeruns, three runs scored and three RBIs.
Due to a lockdown on the Drew University campus, the start time of game one was pushed back from 3:00 p.m. to 4:25 p.m. As a result, the teams were unable to get through five innings of game two.
DelVal will return to MAC Freedom play on Friday, April 7th at Lycoming for a doubleheader starting at 1 p.m.
