The Cabrini women’s softball team traveled to Dover, De. to take on Wesley College on Monday, April 8. The team played a doubleheader and fell short in both games. The losses by scores of 10-9 and 12-4 now brings the Cavaliers to 9-12.

Wesley College took the lead in the opener when they scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning.

Katie Hall led the the team with three hits in the first game. Along with Hall, Molly McDougall both put up two RBI’s. Bethany Feinburg took her first career loss of the season allowing nine runs on nine hits.

“During the first game we battled back really hard but it just wasn’t enough,” third baseman Steph Diegel said. “We hit really well, we just need to get more timely hits throughout the game instead of a couple here and there.”

The Cavaliers tried to use the Wolverines faults against them but came up short. Diegel made it to second base on an error. Hall hit an infield single which led to Diegel’s run.

In the top of the third, McDougall started the inning off with an infield single, before scoring on Taylor McGarvey’s second career triple. McGarvey crossed the plate on Diegel’s RBI single to left field.

Later in the inning McDougall’s two-run single scored Marcelle Crist and Becca Miles score.

The Cavs would score a seventh-inning run but couldn’t tie the game, dropping the first game.

In the second game, Wesley scored two in the first and five in the second off Crist, who allowed six earned runs in the loss.

The Cavs did all their scoring in the fourth. Stacie Roller singled to plate the Cavs first run, then three scored on a single by McGarvey with the help of an error.

The Cavs once again could not avoid a big inning late in the back-end of the twinbill.

Five more runs scored for the Wolverines in the fourth, capping the scoring in the five-inning affair.

The Cavaliers will try to get back to winning ways when they take on the Delaware Valley College Aggies on Thursday, April 11, at 3 p.m.
