Moravian (16-8, 5-1 LC) went in front 3-0 with three unearned runs in the first. Streets then allowed just one run over the next five innings and retired eight of the last nine batters she faced.
Sarah DeStefano retired the first 13 batters she faced for Moravian before freshman
Izzy Wiemer roped a one-out single in the fifth. The Rangers put up their biggest offensive threat in the seventh, when senior
Haley Meierhofer and freshman
Lorelei Lorentzen led off with back-to-back singles before they were bunted over by junior
Karly Severinsen. But DeStefano induced a groundout to end the game.
The Greyhounds used a big first inning in the second game as well, pushing across six runs on four hits, capped by a three-run homer from Kaley Hoffman.
Moravian tacked on another run in the third against Drew starting pitcher
Gabby Duran. The Rangers cut the deficit to 7-2 with single runs in the fifth and sixth before Moravian set the final score in the sixth.
The Rangers finished the game with eight hits, as seven different starters batted safely. Freshman
