Softball Pours on Runs in Finale

The Muhlenberg softball team ended its 2023 season with a doubleheader split at McDaniel.

The Mules (14-23, 5-11) dropped the first game, 12-11, but came back to win the nightcap, 12-5. The 23 runs were the most scored by the Mules in a Centennial Conference doubleheader since 2012, when they plated 23 in a home sweep of Haverford. That was also the last year Muhlenberg hit double figures in runs in both ends of a twinbill.

Sara Fallon, the lone Mule senior, closed out her career with a bang, belting 4 extra-base hits and driving in 6 runs. She hit an RBI double and a two-run triple in the first two innings of the opener and blasted a two-run homer in the first inning of the second game. Of Fallon's three career home runs, two came at McDaniel.

Muhlenberg scored six runs in its first at-bat in the first game and led 9-2 heading into the bottom of the second, but the Green Terror (12-25, 4-12) staged a big comeback, tying the game with a five-run third and scoring the go-ahead runs in the fourth. Oddly, there was no scoring in the final three frames.

Junior Gillian Zack was 3-for-4 with 3 runs scored in the opener, while sophomore Ava Calabrese had two hits, including a run-scoring triple.

The Mules scored in each of their first five turns at bat in the second game, breaking a 3-3 tie with five in the top of the third and not letting McDaniel back in the game.

Sophomore Kaya Mahy began the five-run third with a single, one of her three hits in the game, and scored on a double by Fallon (pictured above) after stealing second. RBI singles by Zack and Calabrese made it 6-3, and two more runs scored on a fielder's choice and wild pitch.

Mahy led off the fourth with her second home run of the season.

Freshman Maddy Svenningsen added to the lead with a two-run double in the fifth. She finished the season with 14 doubles, just two shy of the school record.

Calabrese, junior Kersti Svenningsen and sophomore Justine Bergara each had two hits in the nightcap, while junior Brianna Kessler hit a double and scored twice.

Junior Raya Kunes pitched 4.1 innings in relief, allowing only one run and fanning four, to earn the win.
