Westminster finishes as PAC runner-up

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.-- The Westminster College softball team defeated Geneva College 5-0 in its first elimination game of the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Championship Tournament Saturday, but fell to defending conference champion Waynesburg University 6-3 in the day's first title game.

Westminster concluded its season with a 29-13 record. It was the program's fifth time serving as host of the league's championship tournament. 

Graduate student Madison Brown (Lisbon, Ohio | East Liverpool), senior Mackenzie Latess (New Castle, Pa. | Laurel) and junior Elizabeth Malczak (Grove City, Pa., Grove City) were named to the PAC's all-tournament team prior to the trophy presentation. 

Game 1: Westminster 5, Geneva 0
Malczak staked Westminster to a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning with a grand slam. Senior shortstop Alexis Yates (Oakdale, Pa. | South Fayette) led off with a single. Senior center fielder Brooke Atkins (New Castle, Pa. | Laurel) and senior left fielder Ashley Wire (Poland, Ohio | Poland Seminary) had back-to-back singles before Malczak's one-out grand slam. It was her second home run of the season. 

Yates led off the fifth with a single and later scored on a throwing error. 

Brown allowed four hits and struck out three in the complete game shutout, her sixth of the season. 

Yates, Atkins and Wire had mult-hit games out of the first, second and third spots in the batting order. Yates was 2-for-3 with two runs scored while Atkins and Wire both went 2-for-3 with a run scored. Malczak's four RBIs were a career high. 

Game 2: Waynesburg 6, Westminster 3
Waynesburg jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first on Ella Brookman's two-out, two-run double. Leading 2-0 after four innings Grace Higgins led off the fifth with a solo home to push the Yellow Jackets' lead to 3-0. 

In the bottom of the fifth Yates drilled a two-out RBI double to center that scored sophomore Danielle Teasdale (Cranberry Township, Pa. | Seneca Valley), who was pinch running for Brown after she led off the inning with a single. 

Brookman's two-out RBI single gave Waynesburg a 4-1 lead before Sydney Senay's two-run double extended the lead to 6-1.  

Yates singled in senior right fielder Emma Gurley (Painesville, Ohio | Gilmore Academy), who led off the seventh with a single. Freshman third baseman Elliana Hsieh (York, Pa. | Central York) doubled and later scored on a Latess RBI single.
