Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 The Lancaster Bible softball team earned the biggest victory of its first season as the Chargers defeated defending North Eastern Athletic Conference champion Penn St. Berks, 11-7 in game two of Wednesday's doubleheader. The win however came after a 25-0 shellacking in game one as the Nittany Lions pounded 22 hits en route to the 5-inning victory. So to recap, the Chargers lost by 25 in game one and rebounded to win 11-7 in game two as they snapped the Nittany Lions' 23-game NEAC winning streak. 

Penn St. Berks scored early and often in game one as they scored 25+ runs against Lancaster Bible for the second time this season. Richelle Kane had the Chargers' lone hit as she bunted for a hit in the third inning. Despite taking the loss, Chargers' pitcher Marissa Hardy enabled number one pitcher Kelsey Collins to rest in game one, thus saving her for game two, as the Chargers had planned on putting all of their eggs in the game two basket.

Collins got the Nittany Lions in order in the top of the first of game two and as the lights came on at Garrett Field in Willow Street, Pa., the Lancaster Bible bats began to come alive as well. Sophomore Ali Morton hit a leadoff home run for the Chargers in the bottom half of the first inning as she collected her first collegiate home run. Collins helped herself with an RBI single to make it 2-0 and with runners on 1st and 2nd, senior Nicole Valinteno crushed a three-run home run to dead center to extend the Chargers' lead to 5-0. 

Lancaster Bible scored twice in the second and third innings as well and took a 9-1 lead into the fourth inning. Penn St. Berks, the top hitting team in the NEAC, didn't go quietly as they scored four times in the fourth and two more times in the fifth to cut the Chargers lead to 9-7. Lancaster Bible battled right back however in their half of the fifth as Morton his her second home run of the game and Anna Harris scored later in the inning on an error by the Nittany Lions' catcher.

Penn St. Berks used a single and a Lancaster Bible error to put runners on 1st and 2nd in the top of the seventh, but Collins ended it with her glove as she fielded a grounder and tossed the ball to first baseman Emily Lloyd, giving the Chargers their biggest win of the year.

Morton finished the game 3-for-5 with two home runs, three runs scored and two runs batted in. Collins was 4-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored, while Valinteno was 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI. Collins struck out six in her sixth win of the season as the Chargers improved to 7-19 overall and 6-10 in NEAC play. 

The Chargers return to the diamond on Monday when they travel to the Nation's Capital to face Trinity (D.C.) at 3 p.m.
