Game 1
Lebanon Valley erased a three-run deficit, scored six unanswered runs, and defeated Widener 6-3 in game one of a Commonwealth Conference doubleheader on Monday afternoon.

Tessa Deardorff made history by becoming LVC's all-time hits leader thanks to an RBI single in the fifth inning.

The Pride (12-3, 5-2 CC) plated three runs in the bottom of the second inning but Deardorff's single down the left field line in the fifth drove in pinch-runner Kayla Bolinsky to get the Flying Dutchmen (6-11, 3-4 CC) on the board.  

Jordyn Miller hit a clutch two-run homer in the top of the sixth that scored Emily Johnson and tied things at 3-3. Neither team could get it done in seven innings and the game went to extras.

After a scoreless eighth, Sammy Bost came up big when she singled to left field in the ninth, scoring Angela Harris and giving LVC its first lead of the game. Johnson's double drove in Deardorff and Bost to give the visitors some breathing room and starter Haley Neff sealed the win in the bottom half of the stanza.

Game 2
Widener avenged a game one loss by riding a six-run fifth inning to a 9-1 victory over Lebanon Valley in the finale of Monday evening's Commonwealth doubleheader.

The Pride (13-3, 6-2 CC) posted three runs in the bottom of the first but LVC (6-12, 3-5 CC) cut into the deficit and looked poised to make another comeback when Emily Johnson singled up the middle, allowing Sammy Bost to cross the plate on the play thanks to a Widener error.

From there, however, it was all Pride as the home team used six hits and two Flying Dutchmen errors to put up a game-ending crooked number in the bottom of the fifth.

Inside the Circle
- Haley Neff (2-6) went the distance and then some for LVC in game one, throwing 9.0 innings and allowing two earned runs on 11 hits and one walk. She also struck out seven batters en route to her second win of the year.
- Haley Christensen (4-5) got the start in the nightcap but the Pride bats were hot and racked up nine runs and 12 hits on her watch. She added five strikeouts.
- Ally Horvath (5-2) earned the victory for Widener in game two. She surrendered just six hits and no earned runs in 5.0 innings of work.

At the Plate

- Carissa Harris had a big second game for the Pride, finishing 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI, and two runs scored.

Stat of the Game
7 – The number of errors committed by Widener in game one. The Pride committed just one in the nightcap.

History Is Made
Tessa Deardorff's fifth inning single in the opener was the 174th of her career, good enough to give her sole possession of first place on Lebanon Valley's all-time hits list. Deardorffs now own the number one and two spots in program history as Tessa's sister Katie Deardorff `14, former player and current assistant coach, finished her career with 173.

Quotables
"We were very excited to see Tessa (Deardorff) break the hits record today," said LVC head coach Stacey Hollinger about the program's newest record-holder. "She has worked extremely hard during her career and for her to reach this milestone speaks volumes about her talent and effort. We are extremely proud that she wears our uniform and represents LVC."

Next Up
Another day, another doubleheader for LVC. The Dutchmen travel to Gettysburg for non-conference DH action tomorrow afternoon.
