CHESTER, Pa. - Lebanon Valley erupted for six home runs - including a school record five in the opener - to sweep Widener 10-0 and 5-1 on Monday.
The Dutchmen (15-3, 6-0 CC) pushed their winning streak to 13 as
Sam Derr won both games in the circle and smacked a pair of homers in the first game.
Senior
Steffani Secola collected her 100th career hit in the first game, becoming the 10th player in program history to reach the milestone, and she later drilled a two-run home run.
Angela Harris and
Jorey Aumiller also hit their first career dingers, and
Allie Hartman went long in the nightcap to become LVC's career leader with her 13th career longball.
In game one, the Valley broke the game open with a five-run fourth inning, started by Derr's lead-off home run and continuing with Aumiller's two-run double and Harris' two-run home run. Derr went yard again to lead off the fifth, and the Dutchmen piled on four more runs in the seventh on two-run bombs from Secola and Aumiller.
Aumiller ended up with a team-high four RBI, while Secola was 3-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored. Derr scattered three hits with seven strikeouts.
LVC put more runs up to start the second game as Secola plated Derr and
Emily Johnson brought Hartman home to take a 2-0 lead. Widener put a single run up in the bottom of the first as an error led to an unearned run, snapping a superb 22.2 inning scoreless streak by Derr. Harris singled in
Jasmine Dutton in the fourth, and Hartman's two-run homer capped the twinbill in the fifth.
The Dutchmen will host Franklin & Marshall Tuesday at 3 p.m.
