Titans sweep Chatham

Reddinger wins 700th career game

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--The Westminster College softball program registered a Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) sweep over visiting Chatham University Thursday afternoon, rallying for a 3-2 win in game one before cruising to an 11-0 (5 inn.) run rule win in game two. The second game win was head coach Jan Reddinger's 700th career victory. 

Reddinger is the 16th active NCAA Division III coach to reach 700 career wins and is just the 40th coach in Division III history to secure 700 career victories. Of her 700 wins, 644 of them have been during her 28 seasons at Westminster. She won 56 games during a five-year run as the head coach at La Roche University (1992-96).

Westminster, winners of five straight, improved to 21-9 overall and 14-4 in the PAC. Chatham fell to 9-25 overall and 5-13 in the PAC. 

Westminster will conclude its regular season Saturday at home against Waynesburg University. The first pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday will also be Senior Recognition Day for Liz Malczak (Grove City, Pa., Grove City) and Alyssa Stock (New Brighton, Pa., New Brighton). The pair will be honored before game one.

Freshman Leah Taliani (Arnold, Pa., Valley), inserted as a pinch runner for Brown, stole second base and scored the game-winning run freshman shortstop Ava Karpa's (Coraopolis, Pa., Moon) RBI double.

Freshman left fielder Faith Jones (Volant, Pa., Wilmington) had a two-out RBI triple to right center to cap the scoring in the inning.
