NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. – The Westminster softball team swept Pitt-Greensburg at home in a non-conference doubleheader Wednesday afternoon. The Titans won game one 2-0 and game two 7-1.
 
"That was a good pitcher we faced," said head coach Jan Reddinger. "Looking at her stats from past games, a lot of the games she pitched were 1-0 games and 2-1. We knew it would be close. I would have liked to get to her earlier, but we did eventually. A win is a win at this point."
 
In the bottom of the sixth in game one, Westminster (11-2) took the lead after junior Mackenzie Latess (New Castle, PA / Laurel) batted-in junior Emma Gurley (Painesville, OH / Gilmore Academy), followed by a double from Mia Meholick (Dubois, PA / Dubois Central Catholic) that scored Brooke Atkins (New Castle, PA / Laurel). On the mound, senior Madison Brown (Lisbon, OH / East Liverpool) earned the complete-game win with a game-best four strikeouts.
 
"Madison is the kid that will go back into the gym and get it going," said Reddinger. "It is nice to have someone like that. You can relax a little bit when they are pitching."
 
Game two was highlighted by the third inning as the Titans scored three runs, capped by sophomore Elizabeth Malczak's (Grove City, PA / Grove City) single that brought Latess across home plate (4-0). Malczak earned her fifth win of the season with a game-high three strikeouts.
 
Westminster was led by Latess, who went a combined 3-for-6 with five runs-batted-in. Atkins collected four hits on the day, while scoring three times. Gurley notched two hits in game two. Meholick finished the day with two hits with a pair of runs-batted-in.
 
The Titans are back in action Saturday, April 1 as they host Washington and Jefferson in a Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) doubleheader. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.
