Falcons Finish Spring Break with Sweep Over Leopards

SEGUIN, Tx. - The Messiah softball team finished their spring break trip on a high note with a sweep over the University of LaVerne winning 5-1 in game one and 4-2 in game two. Amber Bingaman went 3-7 on the day with three runs scored and an RBI, while Isabel Seise was 3-7 with one RBI. Carrie Fix (5-5) picked up the win in the first game and Joy Kolakowski (2-1) earned the win in game two. 

The Falcons are now 9-9 on the year and return to the field next Wednesday Mar. 21 when they travel to Albright College to open up MAC Commonwealth play. The double header is set to begin at 3:00 p.m.

Game One: Messiah 5, LaVerne 1
LaVerne scored right way in the first inning when they got some hits off pitcher Carrie Fix and held a 1-0 lead until the bottom of the fourth when Messiah pushed some across to take a lead 2-1. Erin Cressman started off the inning with a home run to left center and then Isabel Seise hit a double to keep the inning going with a double and after a couple hitters reached by way of fielder's choice, LaVerne made an error with the bases loaded to allow Ashley Carroll to score. The Falcons added a couple more runs in the fifth when Amber Bingaman doubled and stole second to start the inning. Cressman drew a walk and after Madelyn Yannetti was retired, Isabel Seise hit a single to score Bingaman. Later with two outs, Samantha Esper reached on an error by the third base and Cressman was able to score on the play giving Messiah a 4-1 lead. 

The Falcons added one more run in the sixth when Amber Bingaman homered to left field and solid defense the rest of the game earned them the win.

Game Two: Messiah 4, LaVerne 2
Messiah scored first in this game putting up three runs in the top of the second as Haylee Anders hit a bases clearing double to right center to take an early 3-0 lead. LaVerne responded by scoring two in the bottom of the inning but pitcher Joy Kolakowski was able to work her way out of the jam. The Falcons added one more run in the third as Lynsey Quinn came through with an RBI single. Leading 4-2, both teams had opportunities to score but it turned out to be a rather defensive game and that certianly worked in Messiah's favor as they held that lead and went on to win.
