GAMEDAY MEDIA CENTER
HOW IT HAPPENED - GAME ONE
  • Taylor Wilp (Cincinnati, Ohio/Oak Hills) led off the game with a double to right field.
  • Two batters later, Jackie Martinez (Phoenix, Ariz./Xavier College Prep) doubled to center and drove home Wilp. It was Martinez's first RBI of the season as Gannon led 1-0.
  • Olivia Gumbita (Latrobe, Pa./Greater Latrobe) kept Michigan-Dearborn's bats silent, including a 1-2-3 inning in the fourth.
  • Allie Salerno (Hamburg, N.Y./Hamburg) began the fifth by reaching on a Wolverine error.
  • Martinez singled and Gannon found runners on first and second with no outs.
  • A wild pitch moved both runners up a base and Kherrin Morgan (Hamilton, Ohio/Talawanda) swatted Salerno in with a single to right field. Gannon went up, 2-0.
  • Michigan-Dearborn singled to begin the bottom of the seventh inning but Gumbita retired the next three batters to shut the door and preserve a 2-0 victory.
     
GAME NOTES - GAME ONE
  • Wilp went 3-for-4 with a run scored out of the lead-off spot.
  • Martinez finished 2-for-4 with an RBI.
  • Morgan recorded a hit and had an RBI.
  • Senior Olivia Gumbita (Latrobe, Pa./Greater Latrobe) threw a complete game, allowing just five hits. She struck out eight and walked none.

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE – GAME ONE
  • The Lady Knights handed the Wolverines their first loss of the season after starting 3-0.
  • Gumbita has thrown back-to-back complete game shutouts for the third time in her career and first since last season against Tiffin (Feb. 29) and Georgian Court (Mar. 1) at the NTC Games.
  • Righties are only 5-of-33 (.152) batting off Gumbita threw 14 innings this season.

HOW IT HAPPENED - GAME TWO
  • Kellyn Perich (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) made the start in the circle for Gannon and she came out sitting down Point Park in order in the top of the first inning.
  • Jen Moran (West Mifflin, Pa./Fox Chapel) doubled to lead off the second inning for Gannon. The Lady Knights weren't able to bring her home, though, as a ground out, pop up and fly out followed Moran's hit.
  • Point Park was first to break through on the scoreboard as the Pioneers strung together a pair of hits in the top of the fourth and went up 1-0.
  • Gannon responded in the bottom of the inning. Jackie Martinez (Phoenix, Ariz./Xavier College Prep) doubled to begin the inning, followed by a Moran walk.
  • Morgan moved the runners over with a successful sacrifice.
  • Lisa Szajn (Maple, Ontario/St. Joan of Arc Catholic) hit into a suicide squeeze that allowed Martinez to run home from third. Point Park attempted a throw to third and a second Gannon run scored on the attempt to get the runner at third base. Gannon took a 2-1 lead.
