Softball sweeps Abington in a pair of one run games

ABINGTON, PA - The Penn State Berks softball team came out on the winning side of a pair of one-run decisions against Penn State Abington in a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) doubleheader on Saturday afternoon. Berks took the opener by a score of 7-6 and finished off the sweep with a late rally in a 2-1 victory in the nightcap.

Berks runs its win streak to 20 straight games as they improve to 28-8 overall and 18-0 in the NEAC, while Abington drops to 15-20 on the year and 10-6 in the conference.

In the opener, Berks scored a run in the top of the first, but Abington responded with a three-run home run to go ahead 3-1. Berks quickly tied the game up at 3-all with a two-run single by Jess Rozick. By the end of the fifth inning, Abington held a 5-4 lead before a pair of runs in the top of the sixth gave Berks a 6-5 lead. Berks tacked on an insurance run in the top of the seventh, which came in handy when Abington got one within one run and had bases load and just one run. Rozick got a strikeout and fly out to center field to leave the bases loaded and secure the victory.

Rozick surrendered six runs (five earned) and struck out eight batters on her way to earning her 13th win of the season.

At the plate, Hunter Hart finished 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored to lead the offense. Sophia Cinti also went 3-for-4 and drove in a run, while Rozick went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored. Brianna Smith was 2-for-4 with one RBI, Becca Faust added one hit and drove in a run, while Mackie Caffrey recorded one hit and scored a run. Maddy Davidson collected two RBI in the sixth with a single through the infield.

In the second game, Abington scored in the bottom of the first and neither team was able to put a run across the plate until the top of the seventh. Abington got the first two outs of the seventh, leaving Berks down to its final out. Davidson drew a walk, followed by Smith with a single through the left. Cinti delivered a single to left to load up the bases for Cori Dickinson. The sophomore third baseman singled to score Davidson from third and pinch runner Ashley Berry from second with the go-ahead run.

Val Miller closed the door on Abington with a perfect seventh inning to earn her 12th victory of the year. The senior left-hander allowed five hits and one run, while striking out four batters in 7.0 innings of work.

Dickinson finished the game 2-for-2 with two RBI, while Smith went 2-for-4 with a double. Hart, Cinti, and Heather Rissell all recorded a hit in the second game.

With the wins, Berks ended the regular season with a perfect run through conference play. They will now host the NEAC Tournament for the third consecutive year next weekend.
