Diplomats take two from Blue Jays

ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. — The Elizabethtown College softball team and Franklin & Marshall battled in both games of Tuesday's non-conference doubleheader at The Nest. A scoreless game one through five innings ended up going F&M's way late. The Diplomats then outlasted the Blue Jays in game two, emerging victorious in eight innings.

Isabel Schaefer and Ashley Hullihan each held the opposing lineup silent in terms of runs through five innings. Franklin & Marshall (22-10) and Elizabethtown (13-17) each had chances to put runs on the board, but Schaefer and Hullihan made sure that didn't happen.

F&M and E-town each had eight runners left on base by game one's end.

The Diplomats broke through in the sixth, getting two runs on three hits and an error. The Jays had Kaylee Werner on after she doubled to left with one out in the bottom of the sixth. Jordan Nowacki singled her up to third, but E-town was unable to come out of the inning with the run.

Franklin & Marshall tacked an insurance run on in the seventh before Schaefer closed it out with a game-ending double play.

Werner finished 2-for-2 while Becky Becher, Kirstin Blass, Jess White, Nowacki, Hullihan, and Laura Tomasetti all recorded hits.

Elizabethtown had the bats rolling in game two, and this time, had some runs to show for it. EC scored a run in six of the eight innings.

White, Marunich, and Maeve McGill all had RBI hits to put the Jays ahead 3-0 going into the fifth inning. White singled home Becher in the first, Marunich doubled in Becher in the third, and McGill drove in Nowacki in the fourth with a single down the right field line.

F&M tied it up at 3-3 in the fifth with a sac fly and a pair of RBI singles. The game would remain tight the rest of the way and an extra inning was eventually needed.

After the Diplomats tied it up, Tomasetti put E-town back ahead in the next half inning. The lead would return to F&M in the sixth with a pair of runs, 5-4.

Werner was intentionally walked in the sixth, bringing up Nowacki in an RBI situation and she delivered with a single up the middle to tie the game once again, 6-6 in the bottom of the sixth.

After a scoreless seventh, Franklin & Marshall wasted no time in the eighth, going ahead with three runs to put the pressure on E-town.

Marunich collected her fourth hit of the game, singling through the left side. An error on the play allowed Becher to score to cut the lead to 8-6.

Diplomats' starter Justine Lohrey didn't allow another run to give her team the two-run victory in eight innings.

Marunich hit 4-for-5 in game two, while Nowacki and Tomasetti each had three, and Becher and White had two apiece. Elizabethtown had 16 as a team. Both teams left 11 on base.

The softball team hosts York (Pa.) tomorrow for a non-conference doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m.
