Eagles Bounce Back With Day-Two Sweep

Post Defeats Lake Erie and Southern Wesleyan




CLERMONT, Fla. – The Post University softball team took care of business on Monday, March 2, day two of the NTA Spring Games, by defeating Lake Erie College 13-6 and Southern Wesleyan University (S.C.) 6-2 in a doubleheader sweep.

Game One- Post 13, Lake Erie 6
Sophomore Jessica Grzywna (Philadelphia, Pa.) had herself a day at the plate collecting three hits, driving in three, and scoring a run. First-year Korie McDonald (Middleboro, Mass.) was a smooth two-for-two with four RBIs and a walk. Junior Kayla Kresley (Alburtis, Pa.) also had a multi-hit game and connected for two extra-base hits including a double and a home run.

Junior Samantha Esque (Springfield, Pa.) pitched a complete game giving up six runs, one earned, over 10 hits. Esque struck out six and notched her first win of the season.

Lake Erie struck first when Ally Hajnosz (Lordstown, Ohio) belted a solo shot in the bottom-half of the first inning to give the Storm a 1-0 lead. Post got even in the second when junior Kaitlin Iacomini (Pleasant Valley, N.Y.) delivered a RBI single, but the run production wouldn't stop there. The Eagles flexed their muscles in the third and posted five runs among a three-run homer courtesy of Grzywna. Post tacked on another four runs in the fourth inning when Kresley landed a three-run bomb over the left field fence. The Eagles soared to their first win of the season 13-6.

Game Two- Post 6, Southern Wesleyan (S.C) 2
First-year Emily Schaffer (Hazlet, N.J.) had the hot bat for the Eagles picking up two hits and three RBIs in the game. Grzywna also recorded two hits and an RBI.

Senior Kaitlin Derby (Douglaston, N.Y.) got the start in the circle for the Eagles and pitched magnificently. Derby gave up a walk to the first batter she saw, and then retired 18 in a row. She pitched a complete game and carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning when it was broken up with single to left by junior Taylor Fox. Derby allowed two earned runs over three hits for her first victory of the season.

The Eagles recorded two runs in the second inning compliments of RBI singles by sophomores Marissa Cammarano (Bedford, Mass.) and Kristen Owens (Exton, Pa.). Post added two more the following inning when Schaffer went yard, and two more in the fourth with situational base running. Derby closed the door in the top half of the seventh to give the Eagles their second win of the season.

On Deck: The Eagles are back in action on Tuesday, Mar. 3 with a doubleheader against Saint Anselm College at 5 p.m. and Grand Valley State University at 7 p.m.
