How It Happened
A pair of four-run innings and another strong pitching performance by Maddie Abbot was all Lebanon Valley needed in an 8-0 shutout victory over Monmouth in the opening game of a doubleheader in Clermont, Fla. on Thursday morning.

The Flying Dutchmen (5-2) got the scoring started in the bottom of the third when Sammy Bost plated on a Fighting Scots error and Annie McClain came across on a wild pitch. Kate Whelski's two-out, RBI double drove in Rayanne Hawk and Haley Christensen to increase the lead to 4-0 after three.

Abbot allowed just one hit through the first four innings and LVC doubled its advantage in the bottom of the fifth thanks to back-to-back doubles by Savannah Toth and Lexi Windsor before a Whelski single brought Windsor across, an Alissa Robinson extra-base knock scored Whelski, and Robin Feaster plated when McClain was hit by a pitch, ending the contest early in the process.

- Maddie Abbot was outstanding in earning her fourth win of the season, going five innings and striking out seven while surrendering just three hits and one walk.
