WHAT HAPPENED
Game 1
  • Eagles began the game drawing back-to-back walks by Rebecca Amos and Peyton Bryden but were left stranded
  • Eagles struck first in the top of the third as Amos singled with one out, advanced to second on a wild pitch
  • Darrah Nickens followed with a walk and then both moved over a base on another wild pitch
  • Amos then raced home on a wild pitch that bounced into foul territory for a 1-0 lead
  • Tia Beckham hit a chopper deep at the hole a short that was misplayed and Nickens was able to score as Beckham reached first
  • Grayson Buckner followed with a single to right to put runners at the corners and then a walk from Annelisa Winebarger loaded the bases
  • Carli Pearson stepped up and drew a walk to score Beckham from third and increase the lead to 3-0
  • In the bottom of the third the Lancers got a runner to third as Westmiller singled up the middle with one out, stole second and then moved to third on a deep fly to right
  • Faulkner stepped up and gave the ball a ride to deep right center but Amos chased it down for the third out
  • Longwood's offense got going in the bottom of the fifth
  • It began with one out as Abromavage singled off the outstretch glove of Bryden at third and was sacrificed to second
  • Westmiller singled to center to score Abromavage to get the Lancers on the board
  • Bridges walked and then stole second to put two runners in scoring position
  • Bennett and Miller had back-to-back RBI singles to cut the Eagles lead to 6-3
  • Maggie Hiatt drew a bases loaded walk to make it a 6-4 game before Lonna Addison came into the circle to close the door
  • In the top of the sixth inning, Nickens drew a leadoff walk and then Beckham smashed a two run home run to left to lead 8-4
  • Longwood cut the Winthrop lead to two runs with one out in the bottom of the seventh
  • Bennett was on first courtesy of a fielder's choice and after what looked like a possible third strike to Miller, she made the most of the next pitch hitting it over the fence in left to trail 8-6

EXTRA BASES
