St. Augustine, Fla. - Lynn
University's softball team swapped shutouts with Flagler to split a
doubleheader on Saturday afternoon. The
Fighting Knights dropped the opening game 5-0 to the Saints before blanking their
hosts 4-0 in the second tilt.
In the opener, the Saints (7-4) posted an early run in the
bottom of the first on a single with a pair of runners in scoring
position. Both sides kept things close
until Flagler tallied another four runs in the sixth before holding the Knights
(3-5) off the rest of the way.
Meghan Osborne collected a pair of hits in the loss, going
2-fo-3 from the plate at the leadoff spot.
Switching things around in the second half of the twinbill, the
Blue and White took the early lead in the third on an Osborne RBI double to
score Andrea Lewis from first. The
Knights would make it a comfortable lead a frame later, plating three more runs
on a two-RBI single by Brittany Gross and a Flagler error.
Katrina Lavadan recorded a pair of hits while Lewis scored
twice for the Knights in the victory.
Amber Havnar (1-2) picked up her first win of the season for
Lynn, working the final four innings in relief and striking out four. Marianne Johnson started the game for the
Blue and White and tossed three scoreless innings, allowing just three hits in
the process.
The Knights return to action on Sunday with a
doubleheader against Armstrong Atlantic State at 1 p.m.
