The Misericordia University softball team celebrated the collegiate career of Lindsay Miller Sunday with a pair of Senior Appreciation Day wins over Scranton. The Cougars won by scores of 7-3 and 5-0.

 

The Cougars set the tone of game one in the first inning with six runs. Hollie Sarnak started things up with an RBI double that scored Courtney Novajosky. Later, Gina Urbon ripped a grand slam to center to give the Cougars a 5-1 edge. Kat Lucenti followed suit two batters later with an RBI double.

 

Lucenti added the final Cougar run with a homer to left in the sixth inning—the first of her college career.

 

She pitched the complete game, allowing eight hits and three earned runs. She struck out five.

 

Katie Eiden made the start in game two. She, too, went the distance with another complete game. Dating back to her start at Lycoming on April 16, Eiden has held opponents to 20 straight scoreless innings including Sunday's shutout.

 

The Cougars were quiet offensively until the sixth. Nicole Wenner knocked in the first run with an RBI single to left. She advanced to third on a throw and scored when Nicole Hoskins reached on a throwing error. Jillian Castaldi and Urbon followed with back-to-back hits for an RBI apiece. Urbon reached third on a wild pitch and scored on an error for the team's fifth run of the inning.

 

The Cougars host Arcadia Thursday at 3:30 p.m.
