Softball Suffers Pair of Tight PSAC Road Losses at Gannon

Erie, PA

Miehl_Kayla.jpgKayla Miehl belted her team-leading fifth home run of the season and Laura Fox had two hits and an RBI, but Gannon took a pair of close PSAC Western Division softball games from Pitt-Johnstown, Thursday afternoon in Erie.  After a 5-3 win in game one, the Golden Knights used a sixth-inning two-run homer to complete the sweep with a 2-0 win in game two.  The Mountain Cats are now 15-12 overall and 3-3 in conference-play.
 
In game one, Gannon opened the scoring with a run in the bottom of the second on Kennedy DeMatteis' sacrifice fly, before the Mountain Cats took the lead with a pair of runs in the top of the fourth.  Tori Radvan led off the inning with a single and scored on a Fox base hit through the left side to tie it, and Olivia Porter's sacrifice fly chased home Maddie Flowers, who followed Radvan's single with a walk.
 
The Golden Knights answered right back with RBI singles from DeMatteis and Gabi Vasi to regain the lead, 3-2 in the bottom of the fourth, and Katie Sidare's two-run homer to left in the Gannon half of the sixth increased it to 5-2.
 
Miehl's two-out solo home run to left field in the top of the seventh cut Pitt-Johnstown's deficit to 5-3, but that was as close as the Mountain Cats could get.
 
Fox_Laura.jpgMiehl went 2-for-4 with a homer, while Porter and Fox each singled and drove in a run for Pitt-Johnstown.  The Mountain Cats also got hits from Julia Mooney, Radvan, and Flowers.
 
Alyssa Hileman suffered the loss and slipped to 9-5.  In six innings, Hileman allowed five runs on seven hits, while striking out two and walking none.
 
DeMatteis, who drove in two it the plate, also pitched a complete-game in the circle for Gannon.  DeMatteis gave up three runs on seven hits.  She struck out five and walked four.
 
Along with DeMatteis, the Golden Knights got two hits, including the two-run home run, from Sidare, and two hits from Nicole Bush.
 
In the nightcap, Pitt-Johnstown's Radvan and Gannon's Rebecca Tatone locked up in a scoreless pitching duel until Lea Coffman connected for a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth that put the Golden Knight on top.
 
Tatone was able to pitch a perfect seventh inning to pick-up the win for Gannon.  Tatone scattered three hits and struck out nine.
 
Radvan took the tough after allowing two runs on eight hits, while striking out six and not giving up a walk.
 
Taylor Mendicino doubled, and Carly Santillo and Fox each had hits for the Mountain Cats.
 
Gannon got a homer from Coffman, and two hits apiece from Kristina DeMatteis and Tatone.
 
With the sweep, the Golden Knights improved to 13-9 overall and 5-1 in the PSAC West.
 
Friday's PSAC doubleheader at Edinboro has been postponed due to weather and rescheduled for Sunday, April 24 in Edinboro.
 
The Mountain Cats travel to Shippensburg for a non-conference doubleheader on Tuesday and to California (PA) for a pair of PSAC games on April 22, before returning home on April 23 to host a conference doubleheader against Seton Hill at V.E. Erickson Complex.
