Softball Clinches Spot in PAC Tournament Following Home Finale Against Geneva

BETHANY, W.Va. - The Bethany College softball team took on Geneva (Pa.) College in a Presidents' Athletic Conference doubleheader where they won the first game by a final score of 4-2 and lost the second by a final score of 6-3 at Bison Field.

Bethany (26-9, 14-6 PAC) secured a spot in the PAC Tournament for the third straight year and for the fourth time in the last five seasons but first they had to get past Geneva (29-7, 16-4 PAC) who is also fighting for a top seed in the tournament. After falling to an early deficit, the Bison scored three in the fourth frame to move up to one game back from the Golden Tornadoes in the conference standings. However, the Geneva offense combined with dominant pitching evened up the series as the GTs took the nightcap to close out Bethany's home schedule.

Game 1
At the Plate
  • Senior All-PAC third baseman Emma Jackson (Alliance, Ohio/Marlington) went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer to tie the program's single-season record
  • Freshman first baseman Jenna Nolan (McDonald, Pa./West Allegheny) also went 2-for-3 and drove in a run to extend the Bethany lead
  • Sophomore Academic All-PAC second baseman Caitlin O'Farrell (Pittsburgh, Pa./Chartiers Valley) recorded an RBI base hit for another insurance run
  • Senior All-PAC shortstop Brooke Markland (Elizabeth, Pa./Elizabeth Forward) and sophomore right-hander Trinity Edge (Franklin, Pa.) each notched a double for the Bison while sophomore All-PAC catcher Olivia Kidd (Akron, Ohio/Mogadore) added the Green and White's last hit
In the Circle
  • Edge allowed only two runs against the second-best team in the conference and struck out eight on her way to a complete game victory
Game 2
At the Plate
  • Kidd fueled the Bison offense with a two-run triple while also scoring one run
  • Jackson added another RBI on a groundout with a runner just 60 feet away
  • Sophomore left fielder Amber Dedmon (Canton, Ohio/Canton South) and Edge were eached walked once and scored a run for Bethany
  • Senior Academic All-PAC right fielder Trista Morris (Woodsfield, Ohio/Monroe Central) swiped the Bison's only bag of the game
In the Circle
  • Edge opened the game and allowed three of Geneva's five runs through 2.1 innings and struck out two
  • Junior Academic All-PAC right-hander Victoria Wehrberger (Sebastian, Fla./Sebastian River) pitched the remaining four and a third where she held the GTs to two hits and one run while adding another strikeout
The Bison are back in action Friday, April 24 as they travel to Washington, Pennsylvania to take on Washington & Jefferson (Pa.) College in a Presidents' Athletic Conference doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m. at Brooks Park.
