WESTMINSTER, Md. – Erinne Warrenfeltz (Smithsburg, Md./Middletown) went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored in the opener to lead McDaniel to a split with Washington (Md.) in Centennial Conference (CC) softball action on Wednesday. The Green Terror (12-17, 3-9 CC) took a 4-2 victory in game one to snap its 10-game skid before the Shorewomen (13-19-1, 4-11-1 CC) scored six runs in the first two innings of game two to forge the split.
Leigh Carbutt paced Washington with four hits in the twinbill.
Brittany Jarboe (Baltimore, Md./Seton Keough) led off the home first with a double to right field before Lauren Wildasin (Thurmont, Md./Catoctin) beat out her sacrifice attempt to put runners at the corners.
After Wildasin stole second, Warrenfeltz drove a ball up the middle to plate Jarboe and put runners back at the coners.
Lauren Toomey (Pottsville, Pa./Pottsville Area) followed a Warrenfeltz stolen base with a single through the right side to stretch the lead to 2-0.
A Tori Ripple solo home run with two outs in the fourth sliced the lead in half but a Kelli Workmeister (Baltimore, Md./Catholic) single and two throwing errors in the bottom of the frame stretched the lead to 3-1.
Warrenfeltz led off the McDaniel fifth a solo shot of her own pushed the lead to 4-1.
In the top of the sixth, three singles and a Shannon Stocklin sacrifice fly scored one run before a rundown ended the frame.
In game two, Gabby Devaud, Ripple and Sally Snover put together three straight two-out singles for a 1-0 Shorewomen lead.
A wild pitch around back-to-back walks in a steady sideways rain stretched the lead to 2-0 before an 18-minute rain delay halted action after a half-inning.
In the top of the second, Jes Van Gosen poked a two-out single over the first-base bag. A pair of miscues coupled with two singles and a Margaret Rohde double accounted for four unearned runs, pushing the lead to 6-0.
A Megan Elfert (Finksburg, Md./Westminster) single and Samantha Staub (Mt. Airy, Md./Linganore) home run finished the scoring in the bottom of the inning.
