WC Wins One, Ties One
Liccketto Scores Game-Winning Run

CHESTERTOWN, MD -- The Washington College Shorewomen won one game and tied another today in a doubleheader with visiting Keuka College. The Shorewomen (3-6-1) won the first game, 7-6, but the second game ended in a 5-5 tie due to darkness.

The Shorewomen led 3-1 after four innings and 6-5 after six innings in game one, but the Storm (0-10-1) tied the game in the top of the seventh when Melissa McElwain scored on an RBI single by Christine Lewis. In the bottom of the seventh, WC sophomore outfielder Natalie Liccketto (Barrington, NJ/Haddon Heights) walked to reach base with one out. During the next at bat, she stole both second and third base and then scored on an error by Keuka catcher Rachel Keefer to win the game.
