PHILADELPHIA – The schedule for the La Salle softball series at Dayton has been altered due to inclement weather. The Explorers will now play a single game this afternoon at 4 p.m. followed by a Sunday doubleheader beginning at 11 a.m.

The senior finished with four hits in five AB's, including a walk-off homer in the 7th inning to lift the Explorers to a 2-1 win over Rhode Island in Saturday's opener. Rohrbaugh also worked a walk and was hit by a pitch five times.
 
-Marlo Roadcap tossed a complete-game three-hitter on Saturday, surrendering just one run in seven innings of work in her only start in a weather-shortened week. The lefty leads the team with 53 K's and seven complete games, which is tied for third in the A-10.
