How It Happened
After struggling to get going in the early innings, Lebanon Valley rode the momentum of a big sixth stanza to a 6-2 come-from-behind victory over Stevenson in the opening contest of a MAC Commonwealth doubleheader on Saturday afternoon.

Trailing 2-0 heading into the sixth, the Flying Dutchmen (14-5, 5-2 MAC Commonwealth) managed just one hit through the first five frames before Rachel Costantini sparked the offense with a pinch-hit, lead-off double in the bottom of the sixth. Robin Feaster followed with a single that moved Costantini and Sammy Bost drove in LVC's first run with a sacrifice fly to right field.

Annie McClain kept things rolling with a one-out single and Savannah Toth put Lebanon Valley out in front for the first time with single up the middle that brought Feaster and McClain across. Rayanne Hawk pinch ran for Toth and eventually scored when SU shortstop Erin Stephey's pickoff attempt got away from Kaitlyn Finnen at third base.

Cheyanne Brown's double, her first of three-extra base hits on the day, scored Kate Whelski and Haley Christensen's two-out bloop single to centerfield put the finishing touches on the crooked number, allowing Brown to cross the plate from second base.

LVC starter Maddie Abbot sat down the Mustangs (3-12, 0-5 MAC Commonwealth) in order in the top of the third to secure the game-one win for the home team.

How It Happened
Sammy Bost became Lebanon Valley's all-time hits leader and Lexi Windsor pitched shutout ball in the team's 5-0 victory over Stevenson in the second outing of a MAC Commonwealth doubleheader on Saturday afternoon.

Bost started the game 3-for-3 from the dish and her record-breaking single came in the bottom of the fifth inning when she punched a ball through a hole in the left side after she fouled off pitch after pitch earlier in the at-bat. For her career, she has racked up a program-record 207 hits.

The senior scored the game's first run after laying down a picture-perfect bunt to begin the contest and promptly stealing second base. Annie McClain's bunt single moved her third and Savannah Toth's ground ball drove her in to put the Flying Dutchmen (15-5, 6-2 MAC Commonwealth) on the board first.

Cheyanne Brown led off the bottom of the second with a triple to left-center field and Haley Christensen's ensuing RBI groundout made it 2-0 LVC after two stanzas.

The Mustangs (3-13, 0-6 MAC Commonwealth) threatened in the top of the fourth, loading the bases with two away. Windsor stiffened inside the circle, however, and got Erin Stephey to ground out to Kate Whelski at second base to end the threat and the inning.

Lebanon Valley added to its advantage in the fifth when Whelski's single through the left side plated McClain from third before Brown smoked a double to left-center field, driving in Toth and Elaine Gross in the process to cap the game's scoring and seal the doubleheader sweep.

Inside the Circle
- Lexi Windsor threw a complete-game shutout in earning her fifth win of the spring. She scattered nine hits and added one strikeout.
- Jasmyn Ogletree took the loss for the Mustangs after allowing five runs on nine hits and a walk in five innings of work.

At the Plate
- Cheyanne Brown provided the power, going 2-for-3 with a triple, a double, two RBI, and a run scored.
- Sammy Bost was impressive from the leadoff spot, going 3-for-4 with a run scored.
- Annie McClain was 2-for-2 with a run scored from the two-spot.
- Erin Stephey, Tiffany McKee, and Naomi Fields accounted for six of Stevenson's nine hits.

Around the Diamond
- Sammy Bost became LVC's all-time hits leader with 207 for her career. In doing so, she passed former teammate Tessa Deardorff '15 on the all-time list. They are the only players in program history to record 200-plus hits.
- Bost was also a terror on the base paths, swiping two bags.
- Annie McClain also stole a base for LVC.
- McClain had six assists at shortstop, while Lexi Windsor assisted on three outs from inside the circle.
