Walter Shutout in Game One Highlights Sweep at DeSales

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. – Jordan Walter pitcher a shutout in game one as the Lebanon Valley softball team swept host DeSales University on Tuesday afternoon at McGettigan Park in Center Valley. LVC won the opener 1-0 and then scored in all but two innings to win the nightcap 5-2.
 
Game One
Walter pitched excellent in the circle as she held the Bulldogs to three hits and a walk. The Dutchmen recorded the first hit of the game as Katie Mulller doubled to left center with one out in the second. She was stranded there as the Bulldogs got the final two outs of the inning. DeSales put two runners on base in the bottom of the inning on a walk and single, but Danni Holmes threw the first runner out trying to steal and then Walter got a strikeout and grounder to shortstop to end the threat.
 
Megan Heard got on base via an error to lead off the third inning. She stole second and then advanced to third on a caught foul ball down the right field line. Lexi Smith put runners on the corners with a single to third and then stole second. The Bulldog catcher threw the ball away on the steal allowing Heard to score.
 
LVC had an opportunity to increase the lead in the fifth as they loaded the bases with one out. Heard reached by a hit-by-pitch. After she stole second, Holmes reached on a fielder's choice. Sam Burns singled back to the pitcher to load the bases. DSU got out of the jam with a short flyball to left and a line out to second. The Bulldogs led off the bottom of the inning with a double. Walter did not let the ball leave the infield the next three batters to keep the Bulldogs scoreless. DeSales had one final opportunity to tie the game in the seventh after a leadoff single and sacrifice bunt. Walter closed the door with a foul out to third and strikeout.
