The Muhlenberg softball team was in close contests in both ends of its doubleheader, before a big seventh inning in game one and a two-run seventh in game two lifted Franklin & Marshall to 8-0 and 4-1 wins.
 
Freshman Cora Bridgers helped herself by sending a double to right field in the nightcap's second inning to plate senior Kristina Qualben to open the scoring. The Diplomats (14-16, 6-6 CC) went on to tie the game on a Muhlenberg error in the fourth and took the lead on a RBI single in the fifth before adding two insurance runs in the seventh.
 
The squads were locked in a scoreless tie through six innings of the first game until the visitors came to life in the seventh.
 
Sophomore Ariana Feliziani was a spark in Muhlenberg's (18-18, 3-11 CC) lineup, singling in three of her four at-bats. Eight other Mules recorded one base hit on the day.
 
Qualben doubled to open the bottom of the fourth of game two for her 137^th career hit, tying for 10^th on the all-time list. It was her 14^th two-bagger of the season and the 36^th of her career, giving her sole possession of second on the single-season list and tying for second on the career list. She sits two back of the record holder on both lists. With her 21^st extra-base hit of the season, she sits five back of the single-season record.
