ANNVILLE, Pa. – In today's sweep over Widener University, Lebanon Valley College's senior Sam Rill (Lebanon, Pa./Annville-Cleona) pitched LVC to a 2-0 victory in game one and then smacked a walk-off grand slam in the twilight to star again. With the wins, the Valley halted its seven-game skid and started its own mini win streak. 
 
In the first game, Rill scattered three hits over seven innings while striking out seven to lead LVC (16-18, 2-12 Commonwealth) to a 2-0 victory. She went 1-for-2 at the plate and gave herself an insurance run in the sixth when she sacrificed home senior Jamie Bailey (Denver, Pa./Cocalico). Bailey tripled to start the inning.
 
The nightcap saw Rill crush a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning to lift LVC to a 6-2 win. Rill batted 2-for-5 for the game and drove home five runs. She put the Valley on the scoreboard by scoring freshman Chris Jessen (Newfield, N.J./Woodstown) in the third inning to make the game 2-1. 
 
Senior Krissy Wardrop (West Chester, Pa./Downingtown) tied the game at two with a fielder's choice RBI that brought infreshman Ilyse Resnick (Holland, Pa./Council Rock).
 
Freshman Melissa Ulrich (Reinholds, Pa./Cocalico) allowed no runs in three innings of relief for freshman Michelle Norman (Lebanon, Pa./Lebanon). Norman had one K and allowed two hits in three innings.
