West Chester Splits with Shippensburg

WEST CHESTER, Pa.- The West Chester University softball team (30-11, 10-2 PSAC East) welcomed PSAC East rival Shippensburg (18-12, 6-4 PSAC East) to the West Chester softball field this afternoon for an all-important PSAC doubleheader. West Chester picked up the split once again wining game one 3-2 before dropping game two 9-7 to split the season series with Shippensburg.

Game One: WCU 3 Shippensburg 2
  • After a quiet first three and a half innings West Chester broke though for one run in the bottom of the fourth, when Sara Ercolani (Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown East) singled, which led to Alyssa Herion (Avon Grove, Pa./Avon Grove) scoring after Cat Hammer (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) got herself in a run down between second and third.
  • This 1-0 lead grew in the bottom of the fifth, when Madison Kelly (Whitehall, Pa./Whitehall) doubled to center to score Caroline Adams (Media, Pa./Renaissance Academy) to give West Chester a 2-0 lead. A few batters later Hammer dropped a single in down the left field line to score Kelly and give West Chester a commanding 3-0 lead.
  • Shippensburg answered in the top of the sixth with two runs of its own to cut the lead to 3-2 but Amanda Houck (Gap, Pa./Pequea Valley) (20-3) was able to work out of trouble and limit the damage to just two.
  • Houck picked up her 20th win of the year as she went seven innings scattering just four hits and two runs while striking out four. Her counterpart Taryn Wilson dropped to 14-8 on the year after going six innings surrendering five hits, three runs (two earned) while walking seven and striking out five.
Game Two: WCU 7 Shippensburg 9
  • In the second game of the day, West Chester got on the board first thanks to a four run top of the first inning. This early outburst started when Herion reached on a fielding error, which scored Garber to make the score 1-0 early on. Hammer was next up and during her at bat Kelly managed to scamper home thanks to multiple pitches in the dirt one of which finally made its way back to the screen to make the score 2-0. Ercolani followed this up with a sac fly to center field to score Herion, which extended the lead to 3-0. Emily Maseth (Westminster, Md./Westminster) got in on the fun next as she laced a double to right center to score hammer and extend the lead to 4-0.
  • Unfortunately, this lead was short lived as Shippensburg replied with a four run top of the second to tie the score at 4-4 heading to the bottom of the second.
  • In the fourth, Shippensburg scored again capitalizing on a passed ball and a wild pitch to take the 6-4 lead.
  • In the top of the sixth, Shippensburg added three more runs to extend its lead to 9-4 heading to the home half of the sixth.
  • The West Chester bats responded in the sixth as the Golden Rams managed to push across a pair of runs thanks to an RBI fielder's choice from Kelly and an RBI single to left from Herion, which made the score 9-6 heading to the seventh.
  • In the seventh, Courtney Stump (Kutztown, Pa./Kutztown) brought one more run across courtesy of an RBI groundout to short, which scored Maseth to make the score 9-7. Unfortunately, this is all the Golden Rams would be able to muster as they fell by a final score of 9-7.
  • Brooke Harner (Chadds Ford, Pa./Kennett) got the start and she lasted 1.2 surrendering five this and four unearned runs while striking out one before exiting in favor for Jen Hanshaw (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley). Hanshaw then pitched the next 3.2 innings surrendering four this and four runs (all earned0 while striking out one to take the loss in this contest.

Coy went the next 2.2 scattering just two hits and one walk to keep the Golden Rams off the scoreboard. Wilson picked up the save as she pitched the final four innings scattering five hits and three runs while striking out one to help preserve the victory.
The Golden Rams will be back in action tomorrow afternoon when they travel to East Stroudsburg for a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m.
