CALDWELL, NJ (May 6, 2005) – The Goldey-Beacom College softball team continued its run through the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference playoffs Friday afternoon, defeating Wilmington College 8-1 and Felician College 3-0 to move one game away from the CACC Championship game.

 

The Lightning are 3-1 in the double-elimination tournament and look to advance to the championship game against Georgian Court College with a win against Caldwell College on Saturday.

 

Trailing the Wildcats 1-0 going into the bottom of the third, the Lightning exploded for four runs to take a 4-1 lead they would never relinquish. Senior Tiffany Frick (Pennsauken, NJ) and classmate Holly Kimble (Millsboro, DE) each drove in two runs in the inning.

 

In the bottom of the sixth, Goldey-Beacom (26-17) pushed across four more runs to extend the lead to 8-1 behind an RBI singles by juniors Brandy Ash (Dagsboro, DE) and Andrea Connor (Blandon, PA) and a two-run single by freshman Kendra Russell (New Castle, DE).

 

Russell notched her 17th win of the season for the Lightning, allowing just three hits and one run in seven innings of work. Nicole Shallcross suffered the loss for the Wildcats (22-23), allowing 10 hits and seven runs while striking out four in five innings of work.

 

Against Felician, freshman Megan Harper (Atco, NJ) drove in two runs and classmate Jillian Murphy (Wilmington, DE) also had an RBI while Russell scattered five hits as she improved to 18-7 on the season.
