Late Rallies Lift Gators to Sweep of Bethany

MEADVILLE, Pa. – The Allegheny softball team collected their second Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) sweep of the weekend as they took two from Bethany Sunday (April 7) in Meadville.
 
The Gators used late rallies in each game for the wins, taking game one 5-4 and game two 2-1.
 
Game One - Allegheny 5, Bethany 4
 
After a scoreless two innings, the Bison got on the board in the third inning, plating three unearned runs. 
 
The Gators responded in the bottom of the frame. Hadley Horensky (Jefferson Hills, Pa./Seton LaSalle Catholic) led off with a single and moved up on an Audrey Blarr (Clarence, N.Y./Clarence) sacrifice bunt. Cameron Long (Midlothian, Va./Midlothian) then delivered a double to right field to bring her in.
 
Olivia Devries (Kent, Ohio/Field) started the fourth inning with a solo shot over the left center fence, cutting the lead to one. The home run was her second of the season and the fourth of her career.
 
The Gators tied the game in the sixth. WIth Arianna Wilkinson (Warren, Ohio/Howland) pinch running at second and Sophia Godzak (Belle Vernon, Pa./Belle Vernon) at first after a single, Halle Book (Wexford, Pa./North Catholic) doubled to left center, bringing Wilkinson in to tie the game.
 
The Bison would regain the lead in the top of the seventh, scoring a run on two hits.
 
Once again, the Gators responded in the bottom of the frame. With one out and a full count, Long homered over the right center fence to tie the game at four. The home run was her first of the year and 13th as a Gator.
 
The inning continued as Belardinelli singled and Phillips doubled to set up Devries. A shot by Devries to the right center fence brought Belardinelli in as the Gators completed the comeback and earned the conference victory.

Game Two - Allegheny 2, Bethany 1

The score remained that way until the bottom of the sixth. Book knocked a two-out double to right center. Hadley Horensky (Jefferson Hills, Pa./Seton LaSalle Catholic) then delivered her own double to deep left field, bringing Book around and giving Allegheny the lead. 
 
Samantha Dzierba (Colden, N.Y./Orchard Park) held down the fort in the bottom of the seventh as the Gators completed the sweep.
