The Lady Cavs fell to a 10-16 record after losing both games of a non-conference doubleheader to Widener University Tuesday, April 16.
The first game started off as a pitcher’s duel. Through the first five innings of play neither team could break the score drought.
The top of the sixth inning was the turning point for Widener as they had a break surge of six runs in the inning.
The surge began with centerfielder Alie Alkins getting hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. She then advanced to second base on a sacrifice bunt by pitcher Jackie Korang.
Then a double from Casey Hargadon scored Alkins. This broke the scoring drought and opened the flood gates as Widener put together a string of six consecutive hits scoring five additional runs in the inning.
This iced the scoring for the game as Cabrini failed to get on the board. A dominating preformance from carried Widener as Korang pitched six innings only letting up four hits. Jamie Williams came in to relieve Korang in the seventh, pitching a scoreless bottom half.
As the second game of the double header started, the Cavs started off the game scoring early in the first inning. Atzert started things off with a double and later scored on an RBI single by Kaitlyn Cooper.
Widener struck back scoring three runs of their own in the following top half of the second inning. They then went on to score two more runs in the third giving them a 5-1 lead after just three innings.
The score remained the same until the fifth inning. With two outs, the Cavs rallied as seniors Atzert and Taylor McGarvey drew walks and freshman Katie Hall hit a single to load the bases.
Sophomore Steph Diegel singled to score Atzert and McGarvey. The rally was then silenced after a walk to load the bases was followed by a fly out.
Widener added a run in the top of the sixth making the score 6-3.
They then went on to break the game open scoring six runs on six hits icing the score at 12-3.
The Lady Cavs will return to CSAC Conference play with another double header Wenesday, April 17, at Neumann University. The first pitch is scheduled kick off the game at 3 p.m.
