WILMINGTON, Del. – Junior Laura Suits threw a complete game in the opener and freshmen Allison Mende and Amanda Carlin controlled the circle in the nightcap, leading East Stroudsburg University to a doubleheader sweep at Goldey-Beacom (8-1, 6-4) in non-conference softball on Tuesday afternoon.

Suits struck out nine, two off her career-high, and scattered seven hits while getting plenty of run support in game one.

Sophomore 1B Cara McNeil, sophomore SS Cara Woods and sophomore 2B Jamie Smith all had two hits and the Warriors put four runs up in the third, and three more in the fifth.

Junior DP Amanda McKay doubled, freshman 3B Kellie Mignoli was hit by a pitch and freshman OF Sierra Wagner walked to load the bases to open the third inning. Junior C Rebecca Smith lifted a sacrifice fly to plate the first run, followed by an RBI single by McNeil and another RBI single by Woods, with an error bringing another run home.

In the fifth, senior OF Jennifer Denaro was hit by a pitch and Rebecca Smith singled to start the frame. McNeil had an RBI single and Woods had a 2-RBI single to push the lead to 7-1. The Warriors added an unearned run in the seventh.

In game two, it was tied 3-3 through two innings before ESU scored three in the third to take control.

Mende earned her first career win, going 4.1 innings and allowing four runs on six hits, with three strikeouts and two walks. Carlin came on for the save, throwing 2.2 scoreless innings with three hits allowed, two strikeouts and a walk.

Wagner had two hits at the top of the order and the Warriors capitalized on 10 walks by Goldey-Beacom (0-2) pitcher Ashley Antosh.

GBC took a 1-0 lead in the first, but ESU scored three in the second. Jamie Smith singled with one out and scored on a double by McKay. Mignoli hit a two-out single with McKay scoring on an error, and came home on an RBI single by Wagner.

Five walks came in a three-run third after GBC had tied it at 3-3. Rebecca Smith had a leadoff single for the only hit of the inning, and Woods, Jamie Smith, McKay, Mignoli and Wagner all drew walks in the inning to make it 6-3.

Goldey-Beacom scored one run in the fifth before Mende came in to limit the damage.

The Warriors are at Chestnut Hill for a doubleheader on Saturday.
