History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n PAINESVILLE, OH – The Ohio Dominican Panthers secured their sixth conference sweep of the season with a doubleheader win over the Lake Erie Storm in Painesville. ODU took game one in extra innings, 4\u20133, before finishing the sweep with an 8\u20130 run-rule victory in six innings.<\/p>\n Game One (W, 4-3 in extra innings) In the seventh, the Panthers rallied with two outs as Kendrick Sterling<\/a> and Halina Schulte<\/a> singled, and Massey delivered again with the game-tying RBI. In extras, Reese Loveday<\/a> tripled to spark the inning before Sterling brought her home with the go-ahead double. Alyvia Lawrentz<\/a> closed it out, allowing three runs on six hits with seven strikeouts. Massey finished 4-for-4 with two RBIs, while Sterling added three hits and the game-winner.<\/p>\n Game Two (W, 8-0 in six innings) Offensively, ODU broke the game open in the second inning, scoring four runs on five hits. Addie Triplett<\/a> started the inning by driving Erica Massey<\/a> in for a run, while Leea Ibarra<\/a> added an RBI in her return from injury. Grau also contributed at the plate with a two-RBI single to cap the inning.<\/p>\n The Panthers continued to add on in the third, extending the lead to 6\u20130 behind another key hit from Massey and a two-RBI effort from Triplett. They sealed the run-rule victory in the sixth with two more runs, highlighted by an RBI bunt from Schulte and a run-scoring groundout from Gianna Solinger<\/a>.<\/p>\n Massey remained a standout, going 3-for-4 in game two, while Triplett and Grau each recorded two RBIs. ODU finished with nine hits and seven RBIs in the contest.<\/p>\n Next Up
\nLake Erie jumped ahead early with a two-run home run in the first, but ODU responded gradually. The Panthers got on the board in the third on a wild pitch, then tied it in the fifth when Erica Massey<\/a> drove in a run with a single. The Storm answered to retake a 3\u20132 lead, setting up a late push from ODU.<\/p>\n
\nThe Panthers carried their momentum into game two and took control early. Emma Grau<\/a> was dominant in the circle, tossing a complete-game shutout over six innings, allowing just three hits and striking out four on an efficient 46 pitches.<\/p>\n
\nWith the sweep, the Ohio Dominican Panthers earned their 24th win of the season and continue to build momentum heading into the postseason. Having already clinched a spot in the conference tournament, they now turn to their final regular-season doubleheaders this weekend, beginning with a matchup against the Malone University Pioneers in Canton at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m, tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
