Late Rally Leads Dutchmen Softball to Victory in Split at Lycoming

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. ­­– Erin Pattillo, Holly Grube, and Maddy Gronback each drove in a run for the Lebanon Valley College Softball team during the top of the seventh inning in game two of its doubleheader against Lycoming College, leading the program to a 3-0 victory on Monday, April 21, at the Shangraw Athletic Complex Softball Field. The Flying Dutchmen also battled tough in the first matchup while dropping a 4-1 contest.

Game One 
Grube started in the pitching circle for the Dutchmen (20-11, 11-1 MAC Freedom) and retired the Warriors (12-12, 3-9 Landmark) in order in the bottom of the first inning, recording a groundout to shortstop Megan Heard, a groundout that the pitcher fielded herself, and a groundout to third baseman Nicole Kratz. Grube also posted a 1-2-3 frame for Lebanon Valley in the bottom of the second, registering a groundout to second baseman Emily Mitchell, a strikeout looking, and another groundout to second. 

The Flying Dutchmen generated some traffic on the basepaths in the top of the third inning, loading the bases after Mackenzie Willey hit a double to center field, Heard was hit by a pitch, and Lexi Smith drew a walk. Lycoming then opened the scoring in the bottom half of the third, taking a 1-0 lead on a solo home run to center field. Lebanon Valley also continued to battle at the plate as the game went into the top of the fourth, putting runners on first and second base with two outs after Julia Craig hit a double down the right-field line and Mitchell drew a walk. 

The Warriors added two runs in the bottom of the fourth, going ahead 3-0 after an RBI single through the right side and an error. Lycoming followed this by scoring on an RBI fielder's choice to shortstop in the bottom of the fifth inning, taking a 4-0 advantage. The Dutchmen also kept competing in the batter's box as the contest progressed, as Kratz hit a two-out single to third base. 

Back in the pitching circle, reliever Abby Reed delivered a scoreless bottom of the sixth for LVC with a flyout to Smith in center field, a popout to Craig at first base, and a lineout to Mitchell at second base. Lebanon Valley then got on the scoreboard in the top of the seventh inning, making it a 4-1 game. Pinch-hitter Bella Mackison started a two-out rally with a walk and was pinch-ran for by Lauren Foster, who advanced to second on Heard's single to left field. Heard and Foster followed this by advancing to second and third base on a wild pitch before Smith drove in Foster with an RBI single through the left side. The Warriors proceeded to maintain their lead through the end of the game.
