Softball Sweeps Doubleheader From Lehigh

The Saint Joseph's softball team swept its doubleheader against Lehigh on Sunday afternoon as the Hawks topped the Mountain Hawks, 6-3, and 3-2 at the SJU Softball Field.

How It Happened
Game One
• Jaelynn Chesson gave Lehigh a 1-0 lead in the top of the third with a double to right field that scored Carley Barjaktarovich.
• Saint Joseph's responded in the bottom of the third as Molly Kapala and Caela Abadie scored on a two-run double by Jessica Gaughan to make it 2-1.
• A sacrifice fly by Sarah Ostaszewski scored Nicole Bondoc in the bottom of the fourth to extend the Hawks' lead to 3-1.
• Lehigh cut Saint Joseph's lead to 3-2 in the top of the fifth as Barjaktarovich scored on a double by Emily Cimino.
• The Mountain Hawks got runners to second and third in the top of the sixth with no outs, but Saint Joseph's worked out of trouble as it got three consecutive outs to end the threat.
• Ostaszewski gave the Hawks some breathing room in the bottom of the sixth with a three-run home run to right field to make it 6-2.
• A RBI single by Karsen O'Rourke made it 6-3 in the top of the seventh, but Amanda Herr and the Hawks' defense closed out the game without giving up another run.

Game Two
• Barjaktarovich scored off a RBI single by Chesson to give Lehigh a 1-0 lead in the top of the first.
• Saint Joseph's evened the score at 1-1 in the bottom half of the first as Kirstin Cox scored from third on a RBI groundout by Kapala.
• Lehigh retook the lead, 2-1, in the top of the fifth on a RBI single by Bella Egizio.
• For the second straight day, the Hawks' rallied in their final at-bats for the walk-off victory.
• With runners at second and third, Ostaszewski hit a ball up the middle that the Lehigh pitcher misplayed, allowing Bondoc to score, and Cox to advance to third.
