Softball Sweeps Millersville

BLOOMSBURG-- The Bloomsburg University softball team took a pair of games from Millersville University on Tuesday by scores of 4-0 and 6-2. The two wins give the Huskies an eight-game winning streak.

In game one Ashley Lynn (Riverside/Danville) allowed just one hit, a seventh inning lead-off double to Meghan Sinback, to lead the Huskies to a 4-0 win. The win for Lynn was the16th win of the season for the junior. She also struck out 10 and walked just one. In three of her last four starts, Lynn has pitched a no-hitter, a one-hitter and two-hitter.

All the offense the Huskies needed in game one came in the second inning when Missy Bachert (Coplay/Parkland) walked and Tiff Corliss (Lewisburg/Mifflinburg) followed one out later with a two-run homer. The Huskies made it 3-0 in third when Jill Homyak (Lehighton/Marian Catholic) reached on an error to lead off the inning and scored on a sacrifice fly from Jess Rosin. Bloomsburg got an insurance run in the sixth inning when Alyssa English (Wallacetown/Phillipsburg-Osceola) singled and later scored on a two-base error by the Millersville leftfielder.

In game two, the Huskies scored three times in the bottom of the first to get in front early. Stacey Krupiewski (Trooper/Methacton) and Jenn Davis (Center Valley/St. Patrick's-St. Vincents) each had an RBI in the inning with the third run scoring on a passed ball.

Bloomsburg got three more runs in the fourth inning with Bachert getting the big hit, a two-run homer. Millersville scored twice in the sixth, but that it was it for the Marauders as Sheelin Fisher (Coplay/Allentown Central Catholic) earned the win.

Bloomsburg, now 29-10, will play at Mansfield on Wednesday.
