How It Happened

Delaware Valley put together a late rally to earn a 5-4 come-from-behind victory over Penn State Harrisburg in the first game of a non-conference doubleheader on Thursday afternoon, April 25.

Carlee Gochenaur had a nice day, going 3-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. Katie Humphrey, Maddie Krantz and Sierra Dixon also drove in one run apiece. Allison Hartman was also strong inside the circle, allowing just one earned run on seven hits to go along with nine strikeouts.

The Lions (12-19-1) struck first, scoring three runs in the second inning. Kratz's bases-loaded walk drove in Hartman to tally the game's first run before a Dixon ground ball plated Gochenaur. Humphrey capped the top of the frame with an RBI single to right field that brought Sarah Coolbaugh across.

The Aggies (10-23) responded by scoring four unanswered run in the third and fourth innings before Gochenaur tied things up in the top of the fifth stanza with a single down the right field line that plated Nina Bruno.

Unfortunately for the Blue & White, the home team used a lead-off walk, a stolen base, a sacrifice bunt and a ground ball to shortstop to score the game-winning run and walk it off in the bottom of the seventh.
