It was a doubleheader sweep 31 years in the making.

Playing on campus for the first time since 1995, the Muhlenberg softball team inaugurated its new home field with two wins against King's.

The Mules rung up 24 hits in the two games, winning the opener, 9-1, and coming back to take the nightcap, 10-3. They have won nine in a row and are 12-2 through 14 games for the first time since 2014. No team in program has had a better record through 14 games. 

The fifth inning was the big one for Muhlenberg in both games. The Mules led only 2-1 before breaking the game open with four in the fifth in Game 1, then erased what was once a 3-0 deficit with a six-run fifth in Game 2. 

Freshman Kineta Bradley capped the four-run fifth in the opener with a two-run single, extending Muhlenberg's lead to 6-1. In the sixth, junior Lillie Teague drove in a run with a single before freshman Sofia Gallahue ended the game with a two-run single.

Sophomore Hailey Godin had a huge game, going 3-for-4 with three runs scored, two RBI and a pair of stolen bases. Freshman Josie Hoffacker contributed two singles and scored two runs.

Sophomore Morgan Bobrowski struck out the side in the first inning and allowed four hits and no earned runs in her five-inning stint, improving to 5-0 on the season. 

The Monarchs (5-9) jumped on top in the second game with three runs in the top of the third. Muhlenberg managed only one hit in the first three innings, but broke through when the first four batters of the fourth hit safely, including an RBI double by Teague and a run-scoring single by Gallahue.

The Mules still trailed 3-2 with two outs and two on in the fifth before erupting to plate six runs on five straight hits. After consecutive run-scoring singles by Teague, Gallahue, and senior Scooter Hulsen, senior Maddy Svenningsen brought in two more runs with a bloop double.

Junior Peri Kahn (pictured above) capped the uprising with an RBI single of her own, and Teague added a third-run scoring hit in the sixth.

Freshman Eden Clark earned the win with three sparkling innings of relief. Clark faced 10 batters over the final three innings, striking out six of them and allowing only one baserunner (on a walk). It's the second time this season she has struck out at least six in a relief outing.
