How It Happened
Arcadia put together a three-run, two-out rally in the bottom of the seventh inning to ruin Haley Neff's pitching gem and take game one of a MAC Commonwealth doubleheader by a 3-2 margin on Saturday afternoon.

Neff had allowed just two hits and had a complete-game shutout in her sights, needing one last out to finish off the Knights (19-16, 5-8 MAC Commonwealth) in the seventh when they strung together three straight singles before Kayla Resh walked them off with a two-run triple to end to the opener in dramatic fashion.

Emily Johnson's sixth-inning RBI double broke up a pitcher's duel following four scoreless innings and scored Sammy Bost to make it 2-0 LVC after the Flying Dutchmen (17-14, 7-6 MAC Commonwealth) jumped out to a 1-0 lead when Jordyn Miller's single down the left field line plated Johnson in the opening frame.

Neff and Arcadia starter Erin Wilson combined to throw seven 1-2-3 half innings on the day.

How It Happened
Lebanon Valley's late rally fell short in the team's 5-2 loss to Arcadia in game two of a MAC Commonwealth doubleheader on Saturday night.

The Flying Dutchmen (17-15, 7-7 MAC Commonwealth) trailed 5-0 entering the fifth inning but Cheyanne Brown's double to right scored Sammy Bost before Emily Johnson's RBI single drove in Brown from third base one at-bat later.

While two batters reached base for LVC in the top of the seventh, a fielder's choice and game-ending groundout kept the Dutchmen from completing the comeback.

Arcadia (20-16, 6-8 MAC Commonwealth) used five hits, including an RBI double, to score four runs in the bottom of the second before adding an insurance run in the fourth stanza when Alicia McMahon's two-out single plated Jackie Bilotti.
