Softball Advances After Beating Carlow

The DuBois softball team had an elimination game this evening against Carlow University in the USCAA World Series.  Although Lizzy Scott had already pitched a game earlier in the day when DuBois beat Mont Alto, she got the start from Coach Kern.

DuBois scored first when Cierra O'Shell drew a bases loaded walk to score, and Brittney Williams knocked in a run to take the lead, 2-0.  Carlow tied it up in the bottom of the 4th, and added another one in the bottom of the 5th to go up, 3-2.

DuBois would have a huge inning in the 7th, scoring 6 runs to take commanding lead in the must win game.  Scott would finish them off in the bottom of the 7th, and DuBois would survive to advance to the next round.  They will play on Wednesday at 4:00pm against D'Youville College from Buffalo, NY.

Larissa James-LaBranche and Aspen Bishop went 2 for 4 each, with Bishop driving in 2 runs.  Brooke Harvey would add another 2 RBI's.  Scott pitched a complete game allowing only 2 earned runs on 6 hits.
