DOVER, Del.  – The Arcadia University softball team posted its second sweep in as many days Sunday, as it downed Wesley 6-3 in 10 innings to open the day, before taking a 3-0 win in the second game. Senior pitcher Erin Wilson had nine strikeouts in game one, as she set the program record for career strikeouts; she currently has 340. The Scarlet and Grey moved to 22-16 on the season, while the Wolverines fell to 12-20.
 
Game 1: Arcadia 6, Wesley 3 (10 innings)

HOW IT HAPPENED: The hosts plated a run in the bottom of the first on a wild pitch; that would be the only run until the top of the seventh. Wilson singled to center to open the inning, before classmate Nicki Larro moved her to second on a sac bunt. Two batters later, fellow senior Sara Boyadjis sent a single to center to plate Wilson; as scoreless bottom of the seventh sent the game to extras.
 
Per international tiebreak rules, the batter responsible for the last out of the previous inning was placed on second for each extra frame. Each team plated its placed runner in eight and ninth innings for a 3-3 score heading to the 10th. Sophomore Marissa Mancinelli served as the lead runner for Arcadia in the top of the 10th, scoring on a single through the left side from senior Sarah Gunia. A double by freshman Jackie Bilotti set up a second and third, two-out situation for freshman Kayla Resh two batters later, the frosh sent a single to left to plate both runners. The Knights' defense held Wesley off the board in the bottom of the frame to seal the victory.
 
KNIGHTS AT THE PLATE: Multi-hit games from Bilotti (3-4) and Gunia (2-5) fueled an 11-hit outing for the Scarlet and Grey. Boyadjis, Resh, senior Alicia McMahon, Wilson, Larro and Mancinelli each had one hit in the game.
