LC-Emory Box Score

FAYETTEVILLE, NC – The Lynchburg College softball team defeated Salisbury University 6-2 Sunday afternoon to advance to the finals of the NCAA Division III Regional, hosted by Methodist University, but dropped a 9-1 decision in five innings to Emory University (GA).

The Hornets scored four runs in the bottom of the third inning against Salisbury, one on an RBI double from sophomore Tara Campbell (Leesburg, VA/Loudoun County), a bases loaded walk from Amber James (Manahawkin, NJ/South Regional) and a two-run pinch-hit single from Lauren Duguay (Williamsburg, VA/Jamestown).

The Sea Gulls threaten for big innings in both the fourth and fifth frames, but scored just once in each inning and left five runners on base. Hornet Dara Sandifer (Monroe, VA/Holy Cross) provided an RBI single in the fifth and Morgan Austin (Mechanicsville, VA/Atlee) drove in another insurance run in the sixth with a triple.

Senior Larissa Roscher (Centerville, VA/Westfield) went the distance for Lynchburg on the hill, scattering four hits and five walks and allowed just one earned run with six strikeouts. Elizabeth Perkins (Kents Store, VA/Fluvanna County) was 2-4 with a double and Kirstin Swank (Bear, DE/Caravel Academy) had two base hits. Kurisha Hoffman was 1-3 with an RBI for Salisbury (38-9).

Campbell got Lynchburg on the board quickly in the bottom of the second inning against Emory with a solo home run over the left-centerfield fence. Emory struck back with four runs in the third, all crossing the plate with two outs. The Eagles padded their lead with one run in the fourth and four in the fifth. Emory advances into the NCAA Division III finals next weekend in Salem, VA.

Swank, Perkins, Roscher, Campbell and Brittany Allsop (Milford, CT/Johnathan Law) all earned spots on the all-tournament team. The Hornets finish the best campaign in school history with a 36-13 record.
