MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (March 9, 2014) - The Penn State Berks softball team defeated Fitchburg State College in walk off fashion by a score of 4-3 in its season opener at the Fastpitch Dream Classics on Sunday morning. They followed that up with a 4-2 win over Cazenovia College later in the day.

Fitchburg State scored a run in the second and third innings to jump out to a 2-0 advantage. After Berks went ahead in the fourth, the Falcons tied it with a run in the sixth. Hafer allowed a two-out single in the seventh, but recorded the final out to lead to Bright's heroics.

Hafer tossed a complete-game, six strikeout performance.

Against Cazenovia, the Nittany Lions four runs in the opening frame and held on to capture a 4-2 victory. Colleen Hoge and Vrabel each reached on errors to open the game.
