Ursinus Sweeps Twin Bill From WC
Adams Records RBI Double in Game Two

COLLEGEVILLE, PA -- Host Ursinus College scored a pair of victories over visiting Washington College in Centennial Conference softball action this afternoon in Collegeville, PA. The Bears (17-5, 4-2 Centennial) defeated the Shorewomen (13-15, 4-4) in game one, 10-2, in six innings, and took game two, 7-1.

After being held scoreless in the first inning, Ursinus scored at least one run in each of the next five innings en route to the 10-2 win in the opener. The Shorewomen scored both of their runs in the top of the third inning. Senior outfielder Diane Green (Milford, DE/Milford) went 1-for-3 at the plate with an RBI single in the loss for Washington. Jenni Moore went 2-for-3 for Ursinus with a home run and four RBI. Lindsay Schmidt struck out nine Washington batters in six innings of work in the game one victory.

Pitching was the big story for Ursinus in game two, as Mallory Greene struck out nine Shorewomen en route to the 7-1 victory. The Bears' bats also continued to hurt the Shorewomen in game two, as Ursinus opened the scoring with a three-run second inning, highlighted by a two-RBI single to left field off the bat of Ellie Knise. Ursinus tacked on four more runs in the fourth inning, which included a solo home run from Moore, her second home run of the day, to put the game out of reach. Freshman first baseman Emily Adams (Bethesda, MD/Bethesda-Chevy Chase) had a RBI double to left centerfield in the bottom of the seventh for the Shorewomen in game two.

Washington will host Muhlenberg Friday in a 2:30 p.m. Centennial Conference doubleheader.
