Hard-Fought Softball Doubleheader Goes Penn's Way

PHILADELPHIA – The La Salle softball team put together a pair of hard-fought performances on Saturday afternoon, falling to Penn by margins of 3-0 and 8-5 at La Salle Softball Field. 
 
PENN 3, LA SALLE 0
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • The Quakers scored a run in the first after Emma Nedley led off with a double and scored on a throwing error by the Explorers.
  • Two more runs came across for the visitors in the second, with Ashley Waco and Nedley each registering RBI singles.
  • La Salle had three runners in scoring position over the first four innings, but could not come through with the timely hit.
  • Sophomore Victoria Zatko doubled in both the first and fourth innings, and freshman Maddy Little reached second thanks to a bunt single and stolen base.
  • Penn pitcher Julia Longo was up to the task, stranding all three runners and four in total while retiring the final 10 batters she faced.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
  • Zatko went 2-for-3 and was the lone Explorer to register multiple hits.
  • Freshman Tessa Dodson worked a pinch-hit walk in the fourth as the Explorers put a pair on base but failed to score.
INSIDE THE CIRCLE:
  • Junior Sarah Dowalo was brilliant, allowing just six hits over seven full innings and not allowing an earned run while striking out two.
PENN 8, LA SALLE 5
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Penn jumped out to an early 1-0 lead as Nedley singled, stole second, and scored on a double by Julia Schneider.
  • Sophomore Regan Ware bore down and struck out the side in the first, and tallied eight strikeouts over 4.2 innings of work.
  • La Salle's bats heated up in the second, with back-to-back singles by Dodson and sophomore Casey Walker putting a pair aboard with nobody out.
  • The Quakers wiggled out of trouble thanks to a double play, but could not do the same in the third.
  • The Explorers sent 11 batters to the plate in the third, with Ware leading off with a walk.
  • Consecutive singles by Maddy Little and Mia Recenello brought home Ware to tie the game, before Zatko launched a grand slam over the left-field wall to put the score at 5-1.
  • La Salle would load the bases again after the grand slam but did not add to its lead.
  • The score remained the same until the fifth, when a four-run inning by the Quakers knotted the contest.
  • Penn continued momentum into the sixth and seventh, taking the lead with a pair of runs in the sixth on back-to-back doubles by Alyssa Pope and Laurel McKelvey
