ESU-West Chester Softball

WEST CHESTER - Erika Lee's two-run double in the first game and 'Nifer Shaw's three-run homer in the second were the key hits as East Stroudsburg University swept a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference softball doubleheader over West Chester, 6-4 and 4-1, Wednesday.

It was the first conference sweep for the Warriors after three straight splits. They are now 11-9 overall and 5-3 in the PSAC. West Chester dropped to 10-18 overall and 0-6 in conference play.

Deana Geist and Casey Dixon singled in the first and Lee doubled to right-center field to drive them home. In the second inning, Tara Greig, Tara Buckley and Dixon all slapped run-producing singles.

Pitcher Tina Morak allowed only two earned runs in evening her season record at 5-5. Dixon went 3-for-4 and Geist 2-for-4.

In the second game, ESU trailed, 1-0, entering the fourth inning. With one out, Lee and Mary Beth Scotch both singled and Shaw then belted a long drive over the leftfield fence for her second homer of the season.

The Warriors added a single run in the fifth inning on doubles by Greig and Lee.

Shaw was 2-for-3 and Geist and Lee both 2-for-4.
