Lehigh Takes Two from Softball
April 01, 2010 | Softball
Princeton led in each game but saw the Mountain Hawks answer, scoring a run in the bottom of the seventh to win the first game 4-3 before negating a three-run first inning by the Tigers to win the second game 8-5.
Lehigh 4, Princeton 3
Each team scored a run in the second and two runs in the fourth before Lehigh (14-8) broke through with a two-out run in the seventh inning to defeat Princeton (6-17) and rookie pitcher Liza Kuhn 4-3 in the opener.
A Kelsey Quist home run gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the second inning before a fielding error kept the inning alive in the bottom half of the second for Lehigh to tie it.
Princeton took advantage of a Lehigh error and coupled it with a Megan Weidrick RBI-single in the top of the fourth to pull ahead 3-1, but a Jacqi Kennelly double brought home two for the Mountain Hawks in the bottom half of the inning and again the game was tied.
Other than back-to-back two-out walks in the sixth, Princeton had nothing going against Lehigh's Tiffany Curtis over the last three frames. Though Kuhn and the Tigers stranded two Lehigh runners at third base between the fifth and sixth innings, the Mountain Hawks cashed in a two-out double by Julie Fernandez and a dropped fly ball in the outfield to score the winning run in the seventh.
Lehigh 8, Princeton 5
Princeton used RBIs by Kelsey Quist and Jamie Lettire to score three runs in the first inning, but Lehigh chipped away all three runs in the bottom half of the first and the Tigers never led again in an 8-5 defeat.
Lehigh sent eight batters to the plate again in the third inning to score four runs against Lettire and pushed another run across in the fourth to pull ahead 8-5 after Sarah Rounsifer's two-out, two-run double in the top of the fourth.
Mountain Hawk starter Rebecca Bliss left the game after the fourth and Princeton managed just a hit and a walk in three innings off Briana Gaumer, who picked up the save.
The Friday twinbill against Harvard will begin at 2 p.m. before the Tigers host Dartmouth Saturday for two beginning at 12:30 p.m.
