GAMEDAY MEDIA CENTER
HOW IT HAPPENED - GAME ONE
  • Olivia Gumbita (Latrobe, Pa./Greater Latrobe) came out with a 1-2-3 inning to set the tone for the game between the Panthers and Lady Knights.
  • Jen Moran (West Mifflin, Pa./Fox Chapel) tallied the first hit for Gannon in the bottom of the second inning. Next batter, Lisa Szajn (Maple, Ontario/St. Joan of Arc Catholic), popped into a double play and the runner was erased.
  • The Lady Knights didn't tally another hit until the fifth inning when Moran lined a lead-off single to the outfield.
  • The next three batters went harmlessly and Gannon stayed knotted at zero, headed to the sixth.
  • Gumbita was cruising until the seventh inning. She began the inning with a strikeout before plunking the next two batters.
  • With Daunhauer at the plate, she bunted and Gannon committed a throwing error that allowed the runner from second base to score. Kentucky Wesleyan went up 1-0.
  • Gannon tried to mount a rally with a two-out single by Moran in the bottom of the inning. Szajn connected on the next at-bat, but she popped it to the shortstop for the final out.
     
GAME NOTES - GAME ONE
  • Jen Moran (West Mifflin, Pa./Fox Chapel) went 3-for-3 from the plate. She was the only Lady Knight with a hit in the game.
  • Olivia Gumbita (Latrobe, Pa./Greater Latrobe) pitched a complete game, allowing six hits, one run and had six strikeouts.

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE – GAME ONE
  • The Lady Knights had their four-game win-streak snapped by the Panthers.
  • Gumbita's earned run average dropped to 0.32 after four starts, only allowing one earned run in 28 inniings.

HOW IT HAPPENED - GAME TWO
  • Kellyn Perich (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) began the game sitting Saint Rose down in order.
  • Both Gannon and Saint Rose went hitless in the second inning.
  • It wasn't until the fifth inning that Gannon got things rolling. Allie Salerno (Hamburg, N.Y./Hamburg) led off with a double to begin the inning. Two batters later, Autumn Smith (Branchville, N.J./High Point Regional) singled and Salerno scored. Gannon took a 1-0 lead.
  • Kellyn Perich (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) had not allowed a hit through the first 6 1/3 innings but Maloney spoiled the no-hit bid with a single for the Golden Knights only hit of the game.
  • Gannon got three more runs in the seventh inning as Smith and Jackie Martinez (Phoenix, Ariz./Xavier College Prep) doubled, driving home three batters between the two.
  • Perich finished off the final inning with two strikeouts and groundout for her second victory of the season.
     
GAME NOTES - GAME TWO

  • Jackie Martinez (Phoenix, Ariz./Xavier College Prep) collected two hits and an RBI out of the third spot in the lineup.
  • Kellyn Perich (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) threw seven innings of one-hit, four-strikeout, ball.
 
BEYOND THE BOX SCORE - GAME TWO
  • Perrich's one-hit performance is her best since allowing just three hits against Seton Hill in 2016.
  • The Lady Knights began a new win-streak after the four-game streak was snapped earlier in the day.
