The DeSales University softball team split a doubleheader at FDU-Florham on a windy Sunday afternoon dropping game one, 6-4, before taking the second game, 4-1.

Game One

After the Devils scored once in each of the first three innings, DSU battled back and took a 4-3 lead in the top of the sixth. The Devils, however, put together a three-run rally in the bottom of the sixth to take a 6-4 lead and DeSales was unable to find the answer the top of the seventh.

Freshman Emma Laliberte took the loss allowing two runs over one inning pitched. Senior Hallie Muffley, a former Northampton player, Kerr, and freshman Megan Burns all had two hits in game one.

Game Two

In the second game, junior Heather Hall pitched a complete-game allowing just seven hits and one unearned run, striking out three to earn her first win of the season.

DSU’s runs came in the first inning on an RBI single from Muffley, two in second inning on back-to-back-to-back doubles from Trexler, Agnoli, and senior Kristen Suran, and in the seventh on a solo home run from Suran.
