Page 12 Women fall in twinbill to W&J by Brian Gregory Collegian Staff Mother Nature has not been kind to the Lady Lions this year. In fact, due to the unseasonably cold weather, the Lady Lions were only able to get in one doubleheader last week. They left the rain behind in Erie and traveled down to Washington, Pa. to battle the Lady Presidents in an afternoon twinbill. Though the bats were working overtime, the pitching and gloves failed as the Lady Lions lost lead after lead, and dropped both games 8-5 and 8-7. "It was disappointing," said Head Coach Sharon Gregory. "We didn't have key defense at times. We gave up extra bases by not executing at times." W&J (14-3) scored two runs in the second and came back to score four in the third to take a 6-0 lead. They tacked on one in the fourth to make the lead insurmountable at 7-0. The Lady Lions battled back with four runs of their own in the sixth. Three came home on Shannon Angel's homerun with Beth Calhoun and Marlesse Prrt o -' s 0 440 0 10‘0,11P' S.

"They had good pitching," commented Gregory. "Stano did a nice job. We couldn't bunt and that's a credit to her." In the second game the Lady Lions took a 3-0 lead in the top of the first. Becky Reed had a three run homerun to score Angel and Steph Roberts. But the Lady Presidents got five runs in the third to take a 5-3 lead off Beth Calhoun. The Lady Lions got one back in the fourth and took a 6-5 lead in the fifth on a homerun by Marlesse Schlott. But fielding errors caused the Lady Lions to blow the lead in the fifth. One in the sixth tied the game at 7-7. But in the bottom of the same inning, the Lady Presidents got the game winner and the Lady Lions went quietly to fall 8-7. "We had some lineup changes in the game [with] some kids in positions they were used to at a high school level and not a collegiate level," said Gregory. Sports "We have worked a lot on this at practice this week." The Lady Lions (12-13) look forward to 12 games in ten days. Coach Gregory expects a lot out of her team in the stretch. "It's an advantage to us as a great momentum builder," commented Gregory.
