Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 MADISON, N.J. – Sophomore Kylie Russell (Jersey Shore, Pa./Jersey Shore Area) pitched five shutout innings and first-year Avery Eiswerth (Williamsport, Pa./Williamsport Area) had a two-RBI double and picked up the save to lead the Lycoming College softball team to a 3-1 win in game one of a doubleheader with FDU-Florham in MAC Freedom action on Friday, April 15, at McManus Field. The Warriors fell in the second game, 9-7.
 
Sophomore Kylie Segraves (Williamsport, Pa./Williamsport Area) went 5-for-7 with two runs and three RBI to lead the Warriors in the doubleheader, while junior Morgan Wetzel (Mill Hall, Pa./Central Mountain) and Eiswerth each had three hits in the doubleheader.
 
Eiswerth's two-RBI double came in a three-run second inning, as Lycoming (6-18 overall, 1-9 MAC Freedom) kept FDU-Florham (8-10 overall, 4-4 MAC Freedom) off the scoreboard until the sixth frame in the first-game win.
 
The Warriors started the rally in the second Segraves reached with a one-out infield single before senior Angie King (Cooperstown, Pa./Maplewood) walked. After both runners moved up a base due to an error, Eiswerth delivered a two-run double to left before scoring on another infield single, this one from junior Kaleigh Kinley (Bellefonte, Pa./Bald Eagle Area).
 
Russell pitched out of a jam in the fourth, as runners reached second and third with no outs before she got a groundout. An infield single didn't allow runners to move up to load the bases and Russell delivered back-to-back strikeouts to end the inning.
 
Eiswerth took the circle in the sixth and the Devils rallied with two singles and a walk with two outs, but a strikeout ended the threat. In the seventh, Eiswerth gave up a leadoff single before three fly outs ended the game.
 
Segraves went 2-for-3 with a run to lead the Warriors, while Wetzel also had a double.

Ciara Hoffman (5-6) took the loss, allowing eight hits and three runs for the Devils.
 
The Warriors rallied from a seven-run deficit in the seventh inning of the second game to bring up the tying run, but FDU-Florham was able to prevail, 9-7.
 
Junior Kacee Reitz (Milton, Pa./Milton Area) led off with a double before Russell reached on a bunt single and first-year Rachel Daub (Honesdale, Pa./Honesdale Area) reached on an error to load the bases. Wetzel followed with an infield single to drive in a run before Segraves drove in two with a single through the left side to make it 9-5. After a groundout moved runners to second and third, Eiswerth singled up the middle to score two more runs and bring the tying run up, but a popup and groundout ended the threat.
 
Segraves went 3-for-4 with a run and three RBI to lead the Warriors, while Wetzel went 2-for-4 with two runs and a RBI and Eiswerth went 2-for-4 with two RBI.
 
The Devils scored a single run in the first and four in the second to take a 5-0 lead before the Warriors responded with two fourth-inning runs. Daub reached on a single up the middle, moved to second on a wild pitch, third on an error and scored on a single by Segraves. A sac fly by King allowed Wetzel, who reached on the error to score.
