Roanoke Sweeps LC Softball

LYNCHBURG, VA – Roanoke College swept the Lynchburg College softball team by scores of 6-4 and 12-6 Saturday in an Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) doubleheader.

Roanoke opened the scoring in the top of the first with a solo home run by Lisa Scruggs.  Junior catcher Meagan Fredenberg answered with a solo home run of her own in the bottom of the second to tie the score.

The Hornets opened the bottom of the fourth with three-straight singles and scored a run when Ashley Hohenberger was hit by a pitch. Two runs scored on a Melanie Tenney single and LC took a 4-1 lead. Felice Lowery hit a grand slam in the top of the sixth for RC and Scruggs homered again in the seventh to provide an insurance run. Katie Bruce finished 3-3 at the plate, and Fredenberg and Sarah Smith each finished with two hits.  Lowery and Scruggs each had two hits for the Maroons.

Roanoke's bats started the nightcap hot, scoring four runs each in the first and second innings. The Hornets would rally to make it interesting, scoring two in the second off a Ashley Hohenberger two-run single and three in the third, fueled by a Fredenberg two-run blast. The Maroons plated two insurance runs in the fifth and one each in the sixth and seventh frames.

Rachel Gallagher was 2-4 for LC, hitting a home run with two runs and two RBI. Fredenberg finished with two hits while Leona Rainey went 4-5 for Roanoke. Meghan Weingard and Sara Caudle hit home runs for the Maroons (19-5/4-2 ODAC).

Lynchburg (16-12/4-8 ODAC) hosts Ferrum College Wednesday in a non-conference doubleheader starting at 3 p.m.
