The Muhlenberg softball team split on the first day of the first of two trips this Spring Break, blanking Eastern Mennonite, 8-0, before falling to ninth-ranked Christopher Newport, 7-2.

Sophomore Morgan Bobrowski and junior Josie Krieman combined on a four-hit shutout in the opener. Bobrowski, the reigning Centennial Conference pitcher of the week, allowed three hits in five innings to extend her 2026 unscored-upon streak to 10 innings. She fanned five. Krieman pitched the sixth, getting her lone whiff on a called third strike with the bases loaded and one out.

Junior Lillie Teague led the offense by going 4-for-4 and driving in three runs. She doubled to lead off the second and scored the first run of the game on a sacrifice fly by freshman Sofia Gallahue. The next inning, she made it 2-0 with a two-out RBI single to center.

Teague (pictured above) singled and stole a base as part of a four-run fifth, then hit a bases-loaded single to end the game via the eight-run rule in the sixth.

Freshman Kineta Bradley delivered the biggest blow of the game, a two-out, bases-clearing double in the fifth that doubled the Mule lead from 3-0 to 6-0.

Bobrowski supported her own cause with two singles and a stolen base. Senior Scooter Hulsen also singled twice and notched one of Muhlenberg's six stolen bases.

The Mules (3-1) had plenty of opportunities to spring the upset on Christopher Newport but were lacking for a big hit, leaving the bases loaded in the second and fourth and stranding two in scoring position in the sixth.

Speed at the top of the order gave Muhlenberg an early 2-0 lead, with the top two hitters, freshmen Izzy Wilmot and Josie Hoffacker, both reaching on bunt singles and stealing second. Hulsen singled in one run and Teague brought in the second with a groundout.

Despite a 10-7 advantage in hits, the Mules could not push another run across, and the Captains (4-4) took the lead on a three-run homer in the fourth and tacked on three more runs in the sixth.

Hoffacker, Gallahue, and sophomore Ava Storlazzi had two hits apiece, while Bradley hit a double for the third time in four games this season.
