Splits First Division Series

In a PSUAC division double header yesterday against PSU Hazleton. Penn State DuBois showed their mighty bats once again.

The first game pitcher Lizzy Scott got off to an abnormal slow start, but bounced back.  Allowing 2 earned runs in the bottom of the 1^st, Scott then allowed only 1 run for the rest of the game.  Scott had a ton of help from the offensive side though as every batter from DuBois had at least one hit.  The heart of the lineup saw Skylar Ceprish and Malliah Schreck both go 3 for 4, scored 2 runs each, and had 1 and 3 RBI's, respectively.  They would each contribute with a double, and Ceprish would add in a triple as well.

DuBois went on to win the first game by a score of 8-3.

Brooke Harvey took the mound for game 2, and had a good performance by the numbers as she struck out 8, and gave up only 7 hits.  Those hits were at the right time with runners in scoring position however, and 9 runs were able to come across the plate for Hazleton. 

DuBois bats were still just as productive as the first game, but couldn't seem to get the runs in this game.  Ceprish and Schreck would again go 3 for 4 with Ceprish adding 2 RBI's.  Cierra O'Shell would also go 3 for 4 this game, and score 2 runs.  O'Shell, Aspen Bishop, Larissa James-LaBranche, and Ceprish would all hit a double during the game, but it wasn't meant to be today as Hazleton would hold on to win game 2, 9-4.

Penn State DuBois will travel to PSU Brandywine on Friday for another PSUAC double header.
