Softball Split Doubleheader With Conference Foe Lynchburg

The Virginia Wesleyan University softball team (20-7, 10-2 ODAC) split their doubleheader with Lynchburg winning game one 3-2, and losing game two 9-4. 

Game One:
Joslyn Woodard hit a single to center field to start the rally, then Karley Beltran singled, and Laci Campbell singled to load the bases for Mackenzie Myers. Myers walked to score Woodard from third and put VWU up 1-0. With the bases loaded, Olivia Knight doubled to score Beltran and Campbell to give the Marlins a 3-0 lead. 

The Marlins held the Hornets scoreless until the top of the seventh, where the visitors scored two runs off four hits, but Virginia Wesleyan got the final out in time to seal the 3-2 win. 

Joslyn Woodard went 2-for-2 in the game with a double and scored one run, Olivia Knight was 1-for-2 with a two-RBI double, and Karley Beltran was 1-for-2, scored one run, and had one stolen base. 

Emma Adams had a great game pitching 7.0 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits, and had three strikeouts. 

Game Two:
The Hornets' offense began the scoring in the second inning, scoring one run to lead 1-0. The Marlins responded as Julia Piotrowski singled up the middle and stole second, followed by a double from Joslyn Woodard to score Piotrowski tying the game at 1-1. 

Lynchburg scored another run in the third inning to lead 2-1, but VWU tied it up at 2-2 in the bottom of the third. Olivia Knight reached on a fielder's choice before Emma Adams doubled to score Knight. 

In the fourth inning, the Hornets scored two runs to lead the Marlins 4-2. However, Virginia Wesleyan scored two runs of their own in the fifth inning to tie up the game at 4-4.

Then, Knight walked, and Emma Adams singled to left center and scored Myers from second to force a pitching change from the visitors.
