Sixth Inning Rallies Fall Short as Softball Finishes Runner-up at MAC Commonwealth Tournament

ANNVILLE, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley softball team put together a pair of sixth inning rallies but dropped a pair of heart-breaking one-runs games to York College of Pennsylvania on Saturday afternoon in the Championship Round of the Middle Atlantic Conference Championship at the LVC Softball Park. The Spartans won game one 4-3 and then took game two 5-4 to earn the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
 
Game One
LVC (32-8) scored first in the game as Sam Burns led off with an infield single to short and stole second. She came around to score on a throwing error by the Spartan third baseman. York (22-19) tied the game up in the second inning on two hits and a walk. The Spartans took the lead with a big three-run third inning. The Dutchmen had back-to-back singles to begin the third and fourth innings but were unable to drive any runs in. LVC broke through in the sixth as Megan Heard led off with a single and then advanced to third on a single by Anna Marie Hockman. Maddy Gronback knocked her in with a single to left center. Three batters latter Julia Craig singled up the middle to score Smith and made it a one run game. Nicole Kratz led off the seventh with a single and the Dutchmen put runners at second and third with two outs before York was able to end the game with a groundout.
 
Inside the Box Score
  • The Dutchmen had 13 hits in the game with four hitters recording multi-hit games.
  • Heard led the way with a 3-3 day at the plate. She also scored a run.
  • Burns had two hits in the leadoff spot and scored twice.
  • Smith and Nicole Kratz had two hits apiece.
  • Erin Sinatra was great in relief striking out six. She allowed just two hits and a walk in five innings. 
Game Two
Hockman gave the Dutchmen (32-9) a second inning lead with an RBI double to right after Heard led off the inning with a walk. The Spartans (23-19) responded with a big five-run inning in the bottom half to take a 5-1 advantage. The scored stayed that way until the sixth when the Dutchmen hit four consecutive doubles to score three runs. Nicole Kratz got it started with a one-out double to right. Kylie Balthaser knocked in run with a double to the fence in center. Heard doubled down the left field line and then Hockman doubled down the right field line. York managed to get out of the inning with no further damage. Craig hit a two-out double in the seventh but the Spartans were able to end to game on a flyball on the outskirts on the infield.

  • Burns extended her hitting streak to 15 games with a single to center in the first inning.
  • Jordan Walter pitched excellent in relief with 4.1 innings pitched. She allowed just one run on four hits with one strikeout to allow the LVC bats time to make a rally in the game.
