The Lead: Roanoke scored four runs in the fifth inning to take an ODAC win over Eastern Mennonite on Saturday.

How it Happened

  • Roanoke's Teresa Wagner and EMU's Lauren Seale locked up in a pitchers dual allowing a combined six hits over the first four and a half innings of play.
  • In the RC fifth inning, Becca Wenger walked to start the inning then was lifted for a pinch runner in Scarlett Sisson who stole second.  Brooke Mason then delivered an RBI single to give RC the only run it would need.
  • Mason moved to second on groundout and scored on an Erin Forbes single to make it 2-0.
  • Katie Smith then followed Forbes with a triple to score a pair and give RC a 4-0 advantage.
  • Those would be the only runs Wagner would need as she went the distance, allowing just six hits in improving to 8-4 on the season. Seale dropped to 8-6, giving up six hits and four runs.
  • Smith finished with two hits in the game for RC.
