No. 16 softball splits at Ferrum

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

Ferrum, Va. -- The University of Lynchburg softball team lost one and won one on the road against Ferrum Sunday. 

The Panthers walked off the Hornets in the 8th for a Game-1 victory, and the 16th-ranked Hornets bounced back with a 2-0 win in Game 2. 

Gracie Dooley kicked off the day with an RBI single in the 1st inning of Game 1. 

Coming off a nearly-perfect performance Saturday, Emily Charlton got the start and carried a no-hitter into the 4th. However, the Panthers tagged Charlton for three in the 4th.

The Hornets tied things up in the next half inning on a Dooley homer and a Karle Cundiff double. 

Kailey Dorcsis took over in the circle for the 6th inning. She struck out four batters but took the loss as the Panthers scored the game-winning run in the 8th with two outs on a bunt.

Lynchburg quickly got Angela Sperandeo run support in the 1st inning of Game 2. Cundiff scored Addison Walter with a single. 

Sperandeo only needed the one run of support as she shut out the home team over 4.1 innings of work only allowing two hits. 

Dorcsis stranded two runners after relieving Sperandeo with one out in the 5th. She earned her second save of the year as she struck out five Panthers in 2.2 innings of relief work and secured Lynchburg's fourth shutout of the season. 

Lynchburg (14-10, 3-3 ODAC) hosts Randolph on Wednesday, April 5. Game 1 is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
