Sinkus' Homer Lifts Softball to Comeback Win

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Meghan Sinkus hit a two-run homerun in the top of the seventh as the Saint Joseph's softball team rallied for a 5-4 win at Lehigh on Wednesday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Undaunted, SJU battled back in the top of the sixth as with one out, Alivia Heers was hit by a pitch. On the very next offering, Currie doubled off the rightfield wall. Heers came all the way around from first to score and tie the game at 3-3.
