CATAWBA, N.C. - East Stroudsburg University received stellar pitching performances from senior Kristen Halvorsen and sophomore Jackie Battaglino to win a pair of games on the second day of the Catawba Invitational on Saturday.

Halvorsen gave up two hits and struck out five in six innings in a 6-0 win over Fairmont State (W.V.) in the first game, and Battaglino went the distance in a 3-1 victory over Limestone (N.C.) in game two. Battaglino also pitched the seventh inning of the game against Fairmont State.

ESU took a 2-0 lead in the second inning, as Candice Pastor doubled and scored on a single by Ali Hale, and Kara Darcey drove in Hale with a single.

The Warriors plated single runs in the fourth and sixth inning. Darcey had an RBI double that scored Brianna Malachowski in the fourth, and ESU took advantage of two errors to score again in the sixth.

Junior catcher Amanda Feist hit her second home run in as many days with a two-run shot to complete the scoring in the seventh.

Against Limestone, the Indians had a leadoff homer in the second but wouldn't score again, as Battaglino allowed just three hits in the contest.

ESU manufactured a run to tie the game in the third, as Laura Snyder walked, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Missy McAloon, and scored on a single by Feist.

ESU took the lead with two runs in the fifth after loading the bases, as Snyder and McAloon singled and Feist was hit by a pitch. Snyder scored on a error by the third baseman, and McAloon came home on a groundout by Hale to make the score 3-1, and Battaglino did the rest.

The Warriors will close the tournament on Sunday morning when they face Lincoln Memorial at 9 a.m.
