CLERMONT, Fla. (February 25, 2019) – The Webber International University softball team competed in its first two games of The Spring Games with a doubleheader against Point Park University (Pa.) in Clermont, Florida. In the end, the Warriors came away with a win of 13-1 in five innings in game one before falling 10-1 in six innings during game two on Monday at PFX Athletics Legends Way Ballfields.

Webber ran way in game one with a big seven-run first inning featuring three errors by Point Park resulting in five unearned runs for the Warriors. In all, the Pioneers committed seven errors on the game, leading to seven unearned runs.

The big hit in the opening inning for the Warriors came in the form of a three-run home run to left field by Mary-Margaret Maggard to bring in Kaitlin Cockcroft and Victoria Atkinson for the first three runs of the game.

In the third inning, Cockcroft smacked a home run of her own to left field to also score CC Smith and make it 11-1.

Smith, Cockcroft, Maggard, Samantha Rolfe and Alyssa Rodriguez all finished with two hits while Rolfe also added a double, Rodriguez had a triple and Atkinson and Anna Schutzler both had a stolen base.

Sabrina Hebding (1-0) made her first appearance in the circle as a junior and allowed only one run and three hits over her three innings to start the game. Stephanie Johnson finished off the final two innings allowing two hits and zero runs.

In game two, the script of sloppy play flipped as the Warriors allowed five runs over the first two innings on six wild pitches. Only five of Point Park's 10 runs during game two were earned.

Smith and Cockcroft both recorded two hits in game two as well to finish with four hits in total on the day.

Head Coach Kristy Burton said, "It was not our best day, but it was exciting to see our bats come alive in the first game. As a team, we were unstoppable at the plate. We struggle to stay locked in and play consistent softball. We are hopeful this is and will be a learning point for our program and look forward to the rest of the week."

Webber moved to 5-5 overall on the season while Point Park competed in its third doubleheader against a Sun Conference team in three days and also picked up its first win of the season at 1-5.

Webber will now travel to Jacksonville, Florida, for a doubleheader against Trinity Baptist College starting at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, February 27.
