SALEM, Va. – Juniors Brittany Racek and Jamie Fisher homered in the seventh inning of a 4-3 win over Charleston, and senior Jackie Battaglino fired a two-hit shutout in a 10-0 (5 inn.) win against Wheeling Jesuit as East Stroudsburg University won a pair of games at the PSAC/WVIAC Challenge on Saturday.

Racek's two-run homer, her fourth of the season, tied the game at 3-3 after junior Jamie Mingis led off the seventh with a walk and Fisher followed with her second home run of the game to put ESU ahead 4-3.

Fisher also homered in the first before Charleston tied the game in the third and took a 3-1 lead on a two-out, two-run home run by Samantha Macias in the sixth. Junior Caitlin Monahan threw her eighth complete game of the season and got a double play to finish the game in the seventh.

In the second game, Battaglino struck out five while throwing her third career shutout, and went to the circle with a 5-0 lead over Wheeling Jesuit before she threw a pitch in the first.

The Warriors had 16 hits in the game, eight coming in the first inning, that included a two-run single by senior Kara Darcey and RBI singles by Battaglino, freshman Tegan Wendell and Mingis.

Sophomore Rachel Gieringer plated Racek with a double in the fourth after Racek singled and stole second. Darcey followed with a base hit to drive home Gieringer and make the score 7-0.

The Warriors added three more runs in the fifth when Mingis singled and scored on a double by Racek, Fisher doubled and sophomore Brandi Stettler tripled to extend the lead.

Racek (3-4), Gieringer (2-3), Darcey (2-3) and Mingis (2-3) all had multiple hits against Wheeling Jesuit, and Fisher was 2-for-3 with two home runs in the opener.

Racek improved her batting average to .419 and was the PSAC East Player of the Week last week after hitting .500 with five extra-base hits, including two home runs, over six games. She has hit safely in 13 of her last 14 games.

The Warriors (8-13) finish the weekend on Sunday with games against Davis & Elkins and Seton Hill.
