DuBois Splits With New Ken

DuBois Splits With New Ken

The Penn State DuBois Softball team travelled to PSU New Kensington today for their first road contest of the 2021 season.  DuBois came into the double header with the current PSUAC softball athletes of the week in pitcher Lizzy Scott, and hitter Skylar Ceprish.

The first game of the double header was all DuBois as Scott picked up right where she left off against Fayette last week.  Scott allowed only 5 hits in 7 innings, and out of the 32 batters she faced 14 went down on strike outs.  The only 2 runs given up by DuBois came in the bottom of the 7th inning.

From the plate, DuBois had a big game from the Sophomore from Clearfield, Aspen Bishop.  Bishop went 3 for 4, and had 2 RBI's, and added both a double and a triple on the game.

DuBois took the first game with a final score, 4-2.

PSU New Kensington came back strong in game 2 with a 5 run 2nd inning against DuBois pitcher, Brooke Harvey.  Harvey allowed 9 hits through 5 and a third inning, but did include 5 strike outs.  Bishop helped offensively again with another double, while Harvey and Brittney Williams each added 2 RBI's for DuBois.

New Kensington would end the with a 9-7 victory to split the double header.

DuBois will travel to PSU Fayette tomorrow for another conference road matchup.
