GLENSIDE, Pa. – Senior Taylor Lesser (Lock Haven, Pa./Central Mountain) became the Lycoming College softball team’s all-time hits leader and seniors Amy Cline (Mifflinburg, Pa./Mifflinburg) and Janelle Poorman (Bellefonte, Pa./Bald Eagle Area) homered to tie significant records, but the Warriors fell to Arcadia University in a pair of Commonwealth Conference games, 1-0 and 10-3, at Blankley Field on Saturday, April 6.
 
In the second game, all three records were taken, with Cline homering in the third inning to tie Susan Leuthner’s mark of 85 runs scored from 1994-97. Lesser followed with her record-breaking 117^th hit, a single, surpassing the mark of 116 set by Jeanine Evans (1997-00) and in the sixth inning, Poorman tied the mark of 77 career RBI held by Leuthner by homering.
 
However, 14 hits and a six-run fourth inning has helped the Knights (9-12 overall, 5-4 Commonwealth) take control of the second game and post the win.
 
The Knights scored a run in the first inning, but the Warriors (10-8 overall, 1-5 Commonwealth) took the lead in the third, as Cline homered before Lesser singled and Poorman drove her in with a double to right field. The Knights got the lead back in the bottom of the inning thanks to a triple by Brandee Zablotsky and a double by Jessica Wood, which led to two runs and a 3-2 lead.
 
In the fourth, the Knights broke open the game thanks to six singles, including five in a row and a two-RBI single from Alexandra Shafer. Lycoming cut the lead to six runs in the sixth when Poorman hit her 13^th career homer, but Arcadia rounded out the scoring in the bottom of the inning with a single run off two hits.
 
Poorman led the Warriors, going 2-for-3 with a run and two RBI, as she accounted for two of the team’s seven hits.
 
Wood led the Knights, going 4-for-4 with two runs and two RBI and Zablotsky went 2-for-4 with two runs and a RBI. Leandra Helms also went 2-for-4 with two RBI.
 
Heather Buriak (2-2) earned the win in the circle, allowing seven hits and three runs in the complete game. She struck out six. Sophomore Caroline Lapano (Harrisburg, Pa./Trinity) (4-5) took the loss for Lycoming, allowing eight hits and five earned runs in three-plus innings.
 
In the first game, Wood (6-4) tossed a one-hit shutout to lead Arcadia to the 1-0 win, spoiling a great effort from senior Holly Lansberry (Curwensville, Pa./Curwensville Area).
 
Lansberry (4-3) tossed a complete-game six-hitter, allowing just one fourth-inning run and allowing just two runners to reach third base during the game.
 
The lone Arcadia run came when Zablotsky led off the fourth with a triple and Wood followed with a single to center field.
 
Lansberry had the lone Lycoming hit, singling to lead off the first inning, but that was all the Warriors could get. Wood also walked a batter, hit a batter and one reached on an error, but no one got past second base.
 
Zablotsky led the Knights, going 2-for-3 with a run and Helms also went 2-for-2.
 
The Warriors get back on the field on Sunday, April 7, when they host Widener at 1 p.m. in a Commonwealth Conference doubleheader at the Shangraw Athletic Complex.
