Gannon Softball Team Falls in PSAC-Opening Doubleheader

THE RUNDOWN
  • Game One Score: Edinboro 4, at Gannon 1
  • Game Two Score: Edinboro 2, at Gannon 0
  • Records: Gannon (8-10, 0-2 PSAC West), Edinboro (7-9, 2-2 PSAC West)

GAMEDAY MEDIA CENTER
HOW IT HAPPENED - GAME ONE
  • After three scoreless innings, Edinboro scored four times during the top of the fourth inning. Two were unearned due to a pair of errors. The Fighting Scots opened the frame with a pair of hits, before scoring four runs on three consecutive bunts. One of the bunts went for a hit while the other two batters reached on errors.
  • Gannon scored its lone run during the bottom of the fifth inning. Sophomore Nathaly Pacheco (Rialto, Calif./Eisenhower) led off with the Lady Knights' only hit of the game, ripping a ball off the pitcher and beating the shortstop's throw to first. She then moved around the bases with an error and two ground-outs.
  • Edinboro starting pitcher Carley Nasca didn't allow a runner past first base the rest of the way.

GAME NOTES - GAME ONE
  • Pacheco recorded Gannon's only hit and run.
  • Senior Alexa Archambeault (Horseheads, N.Y./Horseheads) produced the Lady Knights' lone RBI.
  • Junior Olivia Gumbita (Latrobe, Pa./Greater Latrobe) dropped to 6-4 while tossing a complete game, allowing two earned runs on six hits. She struck out six and walked one.

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE
  • Saturday's doubleheader was pushed back to a 3 p.m. first pitch to accommodate the Gannon-East Stroudsburg women's lacrosse match at McConnell Family Stadium. The women's lacrosse contest began at 11 a.m.
  • Gannon played on its home turf Saturday for the first time this season.
  • Gumbita recorded her 33rd career complete game and 10th of the campaign.
  • Gannon was playing for the first time in 13 days since competing against Le Moyne March 13 at the Salem Invitational in Salem, Virginia.
  • Saturday's games were Gannon's first in PSAC action this season while Edinboro opened its league schedule with a pair of losses Friday at Seton Hill.

HOW IT HAPPENED - GAME TWO
  • Edinboro scored the game's only two runs during the top of the second inning. Kylie Mason and MaryLouise Linder recorded RBI singles.
  • Gannon runners reached second base only twice during the entire game. The Lady Knights' best scoring chance came during the third when freshman Autumn Smith (Branchville, N.J./High Point Regional) reached on an error and sophomore Jackie Martinez (Phoenix, Ariz./Xavier College Prep) singled to lead off the inning. But two strikeouts and a fielder's choice ended the threat.

GAME NOTES - GAME TWO
  • Martinez recorded two of Gannon's three hits.
  • Freshman Kellyn Perich (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) started the nightcap on the mound, allowing two runs on seven hits during a complete-game performance.

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE
  • Saturday's doubleheader was pushed back to a 3 p.m. first pitch to accommodate the Gannon-East Stroudsburg women's lacrosse match at McConnell Family Stadium. The women's lacrosse contest began at 11 a.m.
  • Gannon played on its home turf Saturday for the first time this season.
  • Martinez recorded her team-best fourth multiple-hit game of the campaign.
  • Perich tossed her third complete game of the year.
  • Saturday's games were Gannon's first in PSAC action this season while Edinboro opened its league schedule with a pair of losses Friday at Seton Hill.

UP NEXT

  • First pitch is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
  • Wednesday's twinbill was created after the two teams were postponed on Friday, March 25.
