Cardinals Take First, Edged in Extras by Rams in Second

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. – In a battle of the top two Mountain East Conference North Division teams, the league rivals ended the same way the day started. Wheeling Jesuit plated four scores in the fourth for a 6-1 opening victory, before host Shepherd outlasted it in the late contest, 5-4 in nine innings.
 
Tied at 1-1 after three frames, the Cardinals (21-20/17-9 MEC North) scored the go-ahead run on a home error, before Alaina York's two-run single and Cassie Holstein followed by driving her home for a 5-1 lead. WJU pushed an insurance run across on a Jackie Cramer fifth-inning double to complete game one.
 
Shepherd (28-14/17-9 MEC North) opened a 4-1 lead after six innings of the late game. WJU battled back in the top of the seventh when Brianna Grimes drilled a bases-clearing double to left center to score Cramer and York, who both singled, as well as Holstein, who reached on an error to tie it at 4-4. A Rams lead-off ninth-inning single by Kaitlin Munda was the difference as she was sacrificed to second, moved to third on a single and scored on a ground out for the game-winning run and split of the twinbill.
 
York held the hot stick for the Cardinals with a 4 for 7 day where she scored four of the team's 10 runs along with a triple and two RBI.
 
Grimes lone hit was the three-run double, while Cramer singled and double, scored twice and drove in a runner. Courtney Rogers doubled and single and Heather Pinney added two singles.
 
Mallory Chapman (14-12) allowed only one earned run and six hits in the opener for the win, but she was the hard-luck losing pitcher in the late game where she covered the final 3.2 frames.
 
WJU completes its weekend road trip with a pair of Sunday, April 22, games at Fairmont State starting at 1 p.m.
