When the task has yet begun,
never leave it til its done. Be the
labor great or small, do it well or
not at all.
It's been a tough year for the
Lady Lions, but every game they
have battled to put up a tough
showing. Riding high on a four
game win streak, the Lady Lions
showed up to play Waynesburg .
The Lady Lions swept the series
by scores of 5-4 and 8-2.
"1 think being on a six game
streak helped us get confidence,"
said Sue Mazur. "It helped to get
us on the right track.
In the first game the Lady
Lions got out to a quick 4-0 lead
and never looked back. Freshman
Beth Calhoun looked strong as
she pitched four shutout innings
before Waynesburg got on the
board.. All in all, she finished
with four earned runs, three
walks, and a strikeout while
going the distance.
Julie Stocker went 2-3 with a
double and a run while making
two fine plays in the field. She
turned a Waynesburg base hit
into an out by throwing the
batter out at first. Becky Reed
was 2-4 with two RBl's, which
set the Behrend record for RBl's
in a season at 33. Stocker had
previously held that record.
Also for the Lady Lions, Jen
Leone was 1-3 with 2 RBl's and
Emmy Arnett was 1-3 with a run
and a stolen base.
In the nightcap, the Lady Lions
bleW out 'Way neiburg
team 8-2. Waynesburg had only
brought one hurler and she had to
pitch both games. Sue Mazur
had a career day as she roped out
two doubles en route to a 3-4 day
with a run and four RBl's.
Megan Musante was 3-4 with
two runs and Heather Norder was

On the mound Cherie Varrassa
took the sting out of the Yellow
Jackets as she scattered twelve
hits over seven innings while
giving up only one run.
On Sunday, the Lady Lions
were back in the saddle for a
twinbill against the Lady Hawks
of Hilbert College. The first
pme spelled disaster for the team
as they went &Aim' 64 early and
could never regain their glitter.
The final talley left the Lady
Lions on the short end of a 10-5
San.

Behrend as they made four elms

eleven hits and ten runs, but only
four of them were earned as she
took the loss. Calhoun pitched
two hitless scoreless innings
while striking out five of the last
six batters she faced in the relief
effort.
At the plate, Calhoun was 3-4
with an RBI and two runs, and
Mazur stayed on fire going 2-3
with a run and an RBI.
Once again the Lady Lions
showed up in full force for the
nightcap as they mauled Hilbert
15-4 in only five innings.
Musante was 2-3 with three
RBl's, Stocker walked three
times, and Mazur stayed hot
going 2-4 with two runs.
But the key to the fire power
was the last two batters for the
Lady Lions. Casey Koza and
Emmy Arnett went a combined
6-6 with six runs and seven
RBl's. They also contributed
five stolen bases, two doubles,
and a triple..
Vanessa sparkled on the mound
giving up only one run through
four and finished with three
earned runs and a strikeout.
With this battle over. the team
had to wait until last night when
perennial archrival and
powerhouse Bethany came to
Erie. the teams split the twinbill
Thursday, April 27, 1995
with the Lady Lions winning a
clutch game 5-3, but then falling
in the second 10-1.
With the score tied at 1-1 in
the bottom of the sixth, Calhoun
doubled and Stocker singled with
one out. With some heads-up
base running Stocker made it to
second and set up runners at
second and third.
At the plate came Mazur, who
was hitting .666 over her last
four games.
Mazur hit the ball to the gap
in right and when the dust had
settled Calhoun and Stocker
crossed the plate and Mazur was
standing at third.
Incidently Mazur was 9-13
with five runs and seven RBi's
up to this bat. Her first hit of
the day was number 123 giving
her the most ever for a career of
Behrend softball.
"I was feeling all year that I
needed to contribute more," said
Mazur. "I'm just happy to hit
and perform well as a senior.
Anyway, Norder followed with
an RBI single and Shannon
Angel picked up and RBI triple as
she continues an outstanding
season.
In the nightcap, they fell apart
and lost 10-1. Varrassa got hit
early and often as all the breaks
went to the Bethany Bisons and
they just wrapped up the game
early.
The Lady Lions are back in
action Friday against Grove City
and Satuirday against Gannon.
