The Lead: Roanoke used a five-run fourth inning to come away with a 6-4 win over No. 19 Lynchburg to open the ODAC doubleheader.

How it Happened

  • Lynchburg was leading 1-0 in the top of the fourth inning when Brittany Coffey singled with one out before being lifted for pinch runner Olivia Herman. With two outs, Kortney Leazer singled and Herman came all the way around to score to make it 2-0 Hornets.
  • In the Roanoke fourth inning, Anna Clowdis singled to open the inning and would go to second on a one-out Kate Priester single. Kendall Penn would then single to load the bases before a Riley Croghan pinch-hit single got RC on the board at 2-1.
  • Rebecca Hensley was hit by a pitch to bring home Priester and tie the game 2-2. Brooke Trapuzzano singled to plate Penn and give RC a 3-2 lead. Shanan Hester then singled to score a pair and give RC a 5-2 lead.
  • Coffey would deliver a two-out RBI single that scored a pair and cut the RC lead to 5-4 in the top of the fifth. 
  • RC tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth inning when Hester doubled with two outs. Serenity Bishop then singled to score pinch runner Scarlett Sisson and give RC a 6-4 edge.
  • Lynchburg would threaten in its last at-bat, putting the leadoff runner on, but Emily Salsberry entered the game and got the last three outs to save the win for Teresa Wagner.
  • Wagner improved to 7-5. She allowed four runs on seven hits. Kayley Cox (6-4) took the loss for Lynchburg after going 3.1 innings and giving up five runs.
