Westminster works split at Chatham

MUNHALL, Pa.--The Westminster College softball program rebounded from Friday night's 5-4 game one loss to Chatham University with a convincing 7-1 victory in the nightcap at West Field. 

Westminster ran its overall record to 11-5 and moved to 3-1 in the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC). Chatham fell to 5-15 overall and 1-3 in the league. 

Game 1
Trailing 3-0 after two innings, freshman first baseman Lily Jordan (Rural Valley, Pa., West Shamokin) followed up sophomore shortstop Ava Karpa's (Coraopolis, Pa., Moon) RBI base hit with a two-run triple to even the score in the top of the third. All three runs were scored with two outs. Westminster snagged a 4-3 lead with an out in the fourth when junior third baseman Jenna Boneysteele (Carnegie, Pa., Chartiers Valley) drilled a triple to right center and scored one batter later on junior second baseman Emily Watts' (Aliquippa, Pa., Hopewell) RBI groundout.

Down 4-3, Josie Underdonk led off the home half of the seventh with a pinch hit single. Olivia Harris, running for Underdonk, scored on a one-out throwing error to tie the game at 4-4. Hannah Chenault's walk-off sacrifice fly plated Anna Borst, who reached on another throwing error, for the game-winning score. 

Sophomore left-hander Natalie Davis (Youngstown, Ohio, Boardman) fell to 5-2 in the circle with Friday's loss, allowing five runs (3 earned) on eight hits with two walks and a strikeout. It was her fifth complete game of the year. 

Jordan went 2-for-4 with a triple and two RBIs. Senior centerfielder Sydney Lokay (North Huntington, Pa., Norwin) was 2-for-3. 

Game 2
Freshman right-hander Cheyenne Piper (Latrobe, Pa., Ligonier Valley) won her fifth-straight start to improve to 5-1 in the circle this year. After giving up a two-out double and ceding an unearned run in the second, she retired 14-straight batters before Chloe Lopez's one-out double in the home half of the seventh. Piper allowed one run (unearned) on two hits and struck out a career-best 12 hitters in the complete-game victory, lowering her earned-run average (ERA) to 2.54. Her 50 strikeouts this season rank fifth in the conference. 

Westminster scratched out a pair of unearned runs in the first before Jordan broke open the three-run third with a two-run single.

Jordan finished 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs. Lokay and freshman leftfielder Sam Levac (Oakville, Ontario, Garth Webb) each had two hits, scored a run and stole a base. 

Up Next:
Westminster will travel to the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford Saturday. First pitch from the Kessel Athletic Complex is scheduled for 1 p.m.
