EAST STROUDSBURG - Freshman third baseman Mary Wallick and junior Sierra Wagner carried the offense and sophomore Rachael Ligurori and junior Allison Mende held Bloomsburg to two runs on nine hits, leading East Stroudsburg University into the PSAC softball tournament for the first time since 2010 with a doubleheader sweep on Saturday at Zimbar Field.

Liguori limited BU to an unearned run on four hits in a 4-1 victory in the opener that guaranteed the Warriors their spot in the PSAC Tournament.

Mende surrendered one run on five hits in a 2-1 win in game two, as ESU improved to 21-18 (14-14 PSAC East).

The Warriors will be the No. 4 seed in the PSAC East in next week's PSAC Tournament, which will be held Thursday through Saturday at Veteran's Park in Quakertown.

ESU will face the No. 1 seed from the PSAC West in the second set of games on Thursday at 1:30 p.m.

Bloomsburg (23-13, 18-8) will be the PSAC East No. 2 seed. West Chester (38-12, 22-6) is the No. 1 and Kutztown (30-16, 16-12) No. 3.

Wallick was 5-for-6 with three doubles and three runs in the leadoff spot, and Wagner was 3-for-6 and drove in four of the Warriors' six runs.

Wallick finished the regular season hitting a team-best .359 and has 47 hits, one off ESU's freshman record of 48 set by Erika Lee in 2000.

Liguori and Mende both improved to 10-8 in the circle.

GAME 1 - W 4-1

Liguori stranded five Bloomsburg runners and allowed just an unearned run in the second inning. She left the bases loaded in the fourth inning.

ESU scored in the first and third innings, as Wallick doubled and scored on an RBI single by Wagner in both frames.

In the Bloomsburg fourth, the Huskies loaded the bases on two singles and an error before the Warriors got two force plays at home and a fly ball to get out of the inning.

ESU added two insurance runs in the sixth inning. Senior 2B Jamie Smith hit a one-out single and scored on an RBI by sophomore SS Rae Holden, then freshman catcher Janine Giordano had a clutch two-out single to score Holden.

Liguori pitched a 1-2-3 seventh to send the Warriors to the PSAC Tournament.

GAME 2 - W 2-1

Mende outdueled Bloomsburg ace Taylor Parker, who suffered just her third loss of the season against 11 victories.

The Warriors scored both runs in the first inning as Wallick hit a leadoff double, senior OF Kasey Meckes singled and Wagner clubbed a two-run double to left field to jump on Parker early.

The Warriors had just three hits the rest of the way, but Mende limited Bloomsburg a fifth-inning run on five hits.

BU put the tying run in scoring position in the sixth inning but Holly Peacock was cut down stealing third for the second out.

In the seventh, BU had runners on first and second with one out before a flyout and force out in the infield ended the contest.
