Dutchmen Softball Sweeps Alvernia to Begin Conference Play

ANNVILLE, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley softball team gave the home crowd plenty to cheer about on Sunday afternoon as the Dutchmen swept visiting Alvernia University by scores of 6-1 and 14-5 at the LVC Softball Park in the first two home games and conference games of the season.

Craig then scored the go-ahead run on an Erin Pattillo single to right. The Dutchmen increased the lead in the third as Lindsay McCurdy reached on an error and made her way to third. She then scored on a groundout to second by Kiersten White. Kylie Balthaser led off the fourth with a double down the third base line and scored two batters later on a Burns single through the left side. The Dutchmen tacked on two more insurance runs in the sixth as Balthaser beat out a grounder to short, Alden Partyka doubled to right, and then Burns hit a sacrifice fly to center.
