Game 2 Box

SALEM, VA--The Lynchburg College softball team defeated Randolph-Macon College 5-1 in the opening round of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference tournament in Salem, VA. The Hornets improve to 30-10 on the season, the Yellow Jackets fall to 21-13. The game was played at Salem, VA’s Moyer Sports Complex.

Lynchburg was the first team to get on the scoreboard, scoring an unearned run in the bottom of the first. Lead-off batter Brittany Allsop reached on a throwing error by the Yellow Jackets, getting all the way to third on the miscue. Three batters later, Allsop scored the first run on a Tara Campbell groundout to short.

The Yellow Jackets tied the score just a half-inning later. Brooke Snyder got the rally going with a lead-off single. After stealing second, Snyder moved to third on a wild pitch. Becky Clarke put down a bunt to sacrifice a runner on first to second. The Hornet throw to first base was high, however, and on the error Snyder was able to score from third to even things at one.

The Hornets recaptured the lad in the bottom of the second inning. With the bases loaded, the ODAC’s leading power hitter Caroline Cubbage drew a walk to give Lynchburg a 2-1 lead.

Lynchburg extended its lead to 5-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning. With runners on second and third, Tara Campbell hit a grounder to short. The ball went under the fielder’s glove and into the outfield, allowing both runners to score. Three batters later, with the bases loaded, pinch-hitter Lauren Duguay singled up the middle to make the score 5-1.

Lynchburg held on to defeat Roanoke 5-4 in the nightcap. Cubbage homered and was 2-2 with two walks, and Danielle DiFranco also had two hits, including a double. Senior Larissa Roscher went the distance on the mound, hurling seven frames and scattering eight hits and six walks while striking out seven for the victory.

The Hornets (31-10) face the tournament's other unbeaten team, Bridgewater College, Saturday at 2:30.
