Seven Dutchmen Score Runs for Softball on Final Day of Florida Trip

KISSIMMEE, Fla. ­­– The Lebanon Valley College Softball team received contributions from several members of its lineup on the last day of its trip to Florida, as seven players scored runs and six had RBIs during the program's doubleheader on Saturday, March 8, at Fortune Road Field 2. Katie Muller made an impact at the plate, recording two hits and a run scored in each game of the twin bill. The Flying Dutchmen delivered valiant efforts in both matchups but dropped a 3-2 contest to Ursinus College before Western New England University took the second game by a score of 10-5.

The club loaded the bases with one out when Mackenzie Willey was hit by a pitch, Muller singled to right field, and Maddie Russell hit a single to center field.
