Blass hits first career homer, Blue Jays split with Dickinson

CARLISLE, Pa. — The Elizabethtown College softball team has had 18 days between games due to weather related postponements, and had to move Wednesday evening's doubleheader at Dickinson up a day on the account of forecasted thunderstorms on Thursday. E-town fell in game one, 10-6, but came back to win game two behind Kirstin Blass' first career home run and career highs in RBIs from Kelsey Brown and Laura Tomasetti.

Dickinson (11-4) spotted game one starter Emily Rosenberg with five runs through the first two innings as the Red Devils jumped out early on Elizabethtown (5-7), 5-0. Grace Edelson accounted for four of those five runs, homering in the bottom of the first and singling in a run in the second. Nicole Torlincasi had an RBI sac fly in the second.

The Jays used a four-run third inning to close the gap to one run. Blass walked to start the inning. Becky Becher moved her to second with a single, one of her three hits in the game. Payton Marunich drew a one-out walk to load the bases for Jordan Nowacki. Nowacki doubled and brought in all three base runners. Jessica White made it consecutive doubles, driving in Nowacki, who was already in scoring position.

The Red Devils put up four runs in the fourth and tacked on another in the fifth to take a 10-4 lead into the seventh inning.

Becher and Keli Krause started off the top of the final frame with a single apiece. A ground out moved the runners up a base, putting two in scoring position. White drove in Becher from third base with an RBI single. Krause, on third after White's single, scored on Kaylee Werner's RBI base knock to make it 10-6. Rosenberg shut the door with a strikeout to end the comeback bid and give Dickinson the game-one victory.

GAME TWO
E-town Lineup
1. Becher cf, 2. Blass ss, 3. Marunich 2b, 4. Nowacki 3b, 5. White 1b, 6. Werner rf, 7. Tomasetti p, 8. Brown c, 9. McGill lf

Elizabethtown's bats got going right away in game two. The Jays scored six of the season-high 14 runs in the top of the first inning and batted around, with 11 batters at the plate during the inning.

Becher led off with a single. Blass, in the two-spot as opposed to ninth in the order, knocked her first career home run, a two-run shot, to make it 2-0 just two batters in.

Marunich was the third consecutive batter to record a hit with a single. Nowacki was hit by a pitch and White walked to load the bases. Tomasetti, E-town's game-two starter on the mound, also did plenty of damage at the plate. She recorded her first of three hits, which tied a career high, and drove in Nowacki from third for her first of a career high four RBIs. Brown, the eighth batter of the inning, also hit an RBI single. Maeve McGill and Becher also had RBIs in the inning to make it 6-0.

Dickinson, like Elizabethtown had done in game one, responded to get back in the game with a four-run bottom of the first inning.

Between the third and fourth innings, the Blue Jays tacked on six runs. Blass drove in Tomasetti with an RBI single in the third. Tomasetti and Brown both had two RBIs apiece in the fourth.

The Red Devils plated a pair in the fourth and one in the sixth, but it was already too late as E-town was up 12-7. In the seventh, Werner had an RBI ground out and Tomasetti hit her second double of the game and brought home her fourth run driven in as White made it home safely.

On the mound, Tomasetti pitcher another complete game to move her record to 3-2 on the year. She gave up nine hits and seven runs (four earned) to go along with three strikeouts.

Becher had a team-high five hits between the two games. Nowacki, Blass, Tomasetti, and Brown combined for 13 RBIs in the two-game set.

E-town will play its first Landmark Conference doubleheader of the season Saturday, March 28 at Moravian. Game one's first pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.
