ALLENTOWN, PA. -- Two-walk off wins helped Gwynedd-Mercy stretch their win streak to six games in sweeping a CSAC Doubleheader from Keystone. The games were played at Cedar Crest College.
Freshman
Ashley Lamont (Hillsborough, N.J./Hillsborough) cranked a two-run homerun in the bottom of the seventh capping a rally to take game one, 7-5. In game two, freshman
Ave Bolli (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) singled home
Stephanie Farrar (North Wales, Pa./North Penn) as part of a two-run inning in extra frames to win, 4-3.
Lamont went 3-for-4 with three RBIs in game one and picked up the win in relief, entering in the fourth and allowing just one hit.
Her RBI single in the first tied things up at 1-1, but the Giants would score four in the second, all of them coming after a two-out error. GM would get two back in the bottom of the frame on a two-run triple from
Jennifer Whalen (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan).
Farrar would score from second on an error in right in the fifth, and a run in the sixth off an RBI single off the bat of
Megan Kelly (Ivyland, Pa./Little Flower) would tie it at 5-5.
After a leadoff single from Farrar in the seventh, Lamont ended it sending the first pitch over the fence in center.
Farrar went 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Keystone's Sara Schraden was 2-for-3 with two RBI's and a run scored.
Lamont, who doubled in a run and later score from third on a passed ball in the second for a 2-0 lead, started game two and cruised through five innings before running into trouble in the sixth. Abby Cohen tied it with a two-run opposite field homer to right.
Each team had a runner on in their at-bats in the seventh, but were unable to score sending the game to extras. Kaitlyn Sawicki connected on a two-out RBI single in the eighth to give KC a 3-2 lead.
Whalen helped kickstart the rally in the bottom of the inning, reaching on a lead-off error at first. After a stolen base and move up on a groundout, she would come home on an RBI double from Farrar. Bolli then sent a shot to right and Farrar beat the throw home to complete the sweep for the Griffins (12-10, 10-2 CSAC).
Sawicki had three hits for the Giants (13-18, 5-8 CSAC) in the second game. Sara Schraden, who added two hits at the plate, took the loss on the mound.
Gwynedd-Mercy has a slew of CSAC Games this weekend starting with Friday's home DH with Baptist Bible. On Saturday, they'll visit Centenary before closing the week with a two-fer at Marywood on Sunday in a rescheduled tilt.
