BASEBALL SPLITS, LAX DROPS OPENER
Baseball: Muhlenberg 8, Concordia (Mich.) 7; Wentworth Tech 14, Muhlenberg 3. Junior Steve Rohn doubled in the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth inning to give Muhlenberg (4-5) the win in the first game. Junior Ben Carr and senior Benjamin Leisawitz drew one-out walks in the eighth before Rohn delivered the game-winning hit. Leisawitz two-out, two-run single had given the Mules a 6-5 lead after six, but Concordia tied the game in the seventh. Junior Justin Graf singled in a run in the bottom of the seventh, but the Cardinals tied it again in the top of the eighth. Junior Kevin Komeshok faced five batters, throwing two double-play grounders, to earn his first win of the season. Freshman Gregg Burkhart pitched three solid innings in long relief, allowing only one earned run and striking out the side in the sixth. Leisawitz had two hits against Wentworth in Muhlenbergs sixth contest in four days. Lacrosse: Greensboro 12, Muhlenberg 11. The Mules dropped a heartbreaker in their season-opener in North Carolina. Greensboro held a 12-9 lead with three minutes remaining, but goals from junior Lynsey Caldwell and senior Teresa Lunardi pulled Muhlenberg to within one. The Pride goalie made a point-blank save with 20 seconds to go to preserve the win. Lunardi scored four goals and junior Sarah Bowman added three to go along with two assists. |
TYSON HURLS SECOND STRAIGHT SHUTOUT
Senior Angela Tyson tossed her second straight shutout as the Muhlenberg softball team blanked Indiana Wesleyan, 5-0, to earn a split of its morning-evening doubleheader. The Mules (3-1) had a late rally fall short
Tyson allowed seven hits and struck out nine in extending her scoreless streak to 15 2/3 innings, dating back to last years NCAA Regional. This marks the third time in her career that Tyson has thrown back-to-back shutouts. Sophomore Becki Toth went 2-for-4, keeping her batting average at .500, and led off both Mule rallies. She ignited a three-run first inning with her fourth double of the season and started the two-run sixth by singling and stealing second. Sophomore Jaclyn Maser had RBI singles in both frames. Junior Kelly Berg drove in a run in the top of the sixth, then preserved Tysons shutout in the seventh with a great running catch in right-center with a runner on second. Against Thiel, the Mules trailed 5-0 heading into the sixth before rallying for four runs. Junior Meghan Woods capped the big inning with a two-out, three-run pinch-hit double, but she was stranded at second. Toth went 3-for-4 with a double. |
