Softball Sweeps Elizabethtown

ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. – The Drew University softball team brought out the bats on Saturday, using a big offensive showing to sweep host Elizabethtown College in a Landmark Conference doubleheader.
 
The Rangers (18-16, 6-8 LC) banged out 25 hits and scored 21 runs in each just 10 innings, winning 13-1 and 8-0 in a pair of games that were each shortened to five innings due to the eighth-run mercy rule.
 
Juniors Fran O'Kleasky and MacKenzie Pisani led the way at the plate for the Rangers, combining to go 10-for-13 on the day. O'Kleasky went 5-for-8 with four runs, seven RBIs, two doubles, and a home run while Pisani finished 5-for-5 with two runs, two RBIs, and a pair of doubles.
 
Junior Teagan Bradley pitched both games for Drew, firing a four-hit complete game in the opener and a three-hit shutout in the nightcap.
 
In the opener, it was a 1-0 game heading into the third inning before the Rangers settled any doubt with 11 runs over the next two frames. O'Kleasky and sophomore Olivia Magliacano each blasted a three-run homer to account for a six-run third that made it 7-0 before Magliacano capped a five-run fourth with a two-run single, pushing Drew's advantage to 12-0.
 
O'Kleasky collected her fifth RBI of the day with a double in the fifth.
 
Bradley blanked the Blue Jays through four innings before the hosts scored in the bottom of the fifth.
 
O'Kleasky drove in five runs in the opener, finishing 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in addition to her long ball. Magliacano also knocked in five runs and finished 2-for-3 at the plate. Sophomore Haley Meierhofer, junior Delaney O'Donoghue, Pisani, and sophomore Zoey Shimp all collected two hits as well.
 
Bradley struck out four and walked just two in Game One.
 
The Rangers jumped on top early in the second game, scoring three times on four hits in the top of the first. Drew added a run in the third on an RBI-double from senior Madi Baldwin before O'Kleasky and Pisani each drove in a run in the fourth as Drew pushed its lead to 7-0. Senior Molly O'Brien singled to bring home the eighth run of the game in the fifth.
 
Pisani finished 3-for-3 with two RBIs in Game Two while O'Kleasky was 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs. O'Brien and sophomore Josie Di Troia also smacked two hits apiece in the nightcap, when Bradley (8-7) struck out three and did not walk a batter.
 
The Rangers play their final non-conference games of the regular season on Tuesday, when they visit DeSales University in a doubleheader starting at 4 p.m.
