ASTON, Pa. – The Penn State Brandywine softball team earned a pair of Senior Night victories, topping Immaculata University by scores of 3-2 and 2-0 on Thursday night.
Game One: Penn State Brandywine 3, Immaculata 2
A three-run third inning is all Crystal Cassario (Levittown, Pa./Pennsbury) would need in the circle as the Lions topped the Mighty Macs 3-2 in game one.
Cassario allowed just single runs in the third and fourth innings and yielded just five hits overall. She struck out five Mighty Macs in a complete-game effort to earn her ninth victory of the spring.
Lexi Bussenger (Bangor, Pa./Bangor) singled, stole two bases and scored via error to tie the score at 1-1 in the third. Three batters after Meghan Ferry (Gloucester City, N.J./Gloucester City) walked, Karly Rees (Oxford, Pa./Oxford) delivered a go-ahead RBI single, plating Ferry. Emily Reagan (Harrisburg, Pa./Bishop McDevitt) followed with a run-scoring base hit to account for the Lions' third run.
Eight players recorded a hit for Brandywine, while Bussenger and Ferry both swiped two bases.
Game Two: Penn State Brandywine 2, Immaculata 0
Sarah Moore (New Holland, Pa./Pequea Valley) celebrated Senior Night by twirling the fifth complete-game shutout of her career to finish off the doubleheader sweep in game two.
Moore scattered four singles and struck out two batters during seven innings. Just two baserunners advanced past first base against Moore, who earned her 12th-career win.
Brandywine posted six hits, including two from Cassario. Bussenger's fifth-inning single pushed her team-record hitting streak to 33-straight games.
The Lions scored the first run of the night without the benefit of a hit during the second inning as Rees took advantage of two Immaculata errors to cross home. Cassario added an insurance run in the sixth with a two-out single that plated Reagan.
Brandywine (25-7, 13-1 PSUAC) will begin its final weekend of conference play Saturday at Penn State Greater Allegheny at 3:30 PM.
