Game Recap: Softball |

Westminster wins twice on Sunday

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--The Westminster softball team ran its win streak to six-straight games with a Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) sweep of Hiram on Sunday, earning a 3-1 game one victory before scoring a 3-0 shutout victory in game two. 

The games were moved from Saturday to Sunday due to low temperatures.

Westminster is now 11-5 overall and 6-0 in PAC play. 

Game 1: Westminster 3, Hiram 1
Sophomore Cheyenne Piper (Latrobe, Pa., Ligonier Valley) improved to 6-2 with the complete-game win, allowing one run (earned) on four hits with nine strikeouts. 

Junior Ava Karpa (Coraopolis, Pa., Moon) went 3-for-3 with an RBI. Junior Leah Taliani (Arnold, Pa., Valley) reached base twice. She doubled to lead off the bottom of the third and drew a walk in the sixth. 

Sophomore Morgan O'Brien (Coraopolis, Pa., Our Lady of the Sacred Heart) delivered a two-out single before scoring on sophomore Lily Jordan's (Rural Valley, Pa., West Shamokin) double. Karpa's RBI base hit scored Jordan. Hiram cut the lead to 2-1 in the fourth before O'Brien's sacrifice fly plated junior Faith Jones (Volant, Pa., Wilmington), who tripled to lead off the bottom of the fifth. It was Jones' second career triple. 

Game 2: Westminster 3, Hiram 0
Junior Natalie Davis (Youngstown, Ohio, Boardman) fired 6.1 scoreless inning to push her season record to 5-3. She allowed eight hits and struck out one batter. Piper threw the final two-thirds of the seventh to secure her second save of the year. 

Westminster scored its first and third runs of the game on Hiram throwing errors. O'Brien had an RBI single in the sixth that scored Jones, who led off the half-inning with a walk. 

Jones reached base twice in game two. She led off with base hit to extend her hitting streak to 12-straight games. O'Brien is also riding a 12-game hit streak. Freshman Izzie Lefebvre (Midland, Pa., Lincoln Park) had a pinch hit single in the fourth. 

Up next:
Westminster is scheduled to travel to Latrobe Tuesday to take on Saint Vincent. The opening pitch is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
