EAST STROUDSBURG – Junior Mary Wallick hit a walk-off double in the bottom of the ninth inning, while senior LHP Rachael Liguori delivered both in the circle and at the plate as East Stroudsburg University salvaged a split of Sunday's doubleheader against Georgian Court with a 3-2 extra-inning victory in Game 2.

The Warriors (8-15) dropped the opener by a 9-6 final in 10 innings. The Lions (9-21) sent both games to extras with two-out rallies in the seventh inning.

Wallick totaled three hits on the afternoon, including a 2 for 5 effort in the nightcap, to extend her career-best hitting streak to 14 games. That is tied for the longest streak for any ESU player dating back to at least 2002.

Liguori was one out away from her ninth career shutout, but she came through with two scoreless innings in extras to improve her season record to 6-5. She allowed two runs on eight hits over nine innings while striking out a season-high seven batters. Liguori also had a chance to bat for the first time in her ESU career, registering her first hit and RBI with a fourth-inning line drive single up the middle.

Freshman Kaylee Hazewski added five hits, three runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base across both games at the top of the lineup for the Warriors.

ESU remains at Zimbar Field on Monday afternoon, welcoming Nyack for a doubleheader scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.

Game 1: Georgian Court 9, ESU 6 (10 innings)

The Warriors were forced to play 10 innings for a second-consecutive game, and the Lions took control with four runs in the top half of the frame with the international tiebreaker rule in effect.

Each team plated three runs in the second inning early on. Georgian Court had a chance to do more damage, loading the bases with one out after having already scored its three runs, but junior Madison Oren threw out Breanna Keelan trying to score on a fly out to left field to prevent the visitors from adding to their lead.

RBI singles from Hazewski and sophomore Madison Vicendese highlighted ESU's three-run second, and the Warriors took the lead on an RBI double from redshirt senior Danielle Dungee off the right field wall in the third.

Oren added an insurance run with an RBI double to the gap in the fifth, and ESU maintained a 5-3 edge heading into the seventh inning. Smith sent the game to extras on a two-out, two-run single, and Samantha Reilly put the Lions up for good on an RBI single in the 10th.

Hazewski, Vicendese, Dungee and Oren all finished with two hits, while Wallick plated three of the Warriors' six runs.

Game 2: ESU 3, Georgian Court 2 (9 innings)

For a while, it appeared that Liguori's RBI base knock in the fourth inning would hold up, as the score remained 1-0 heading into the seventh inning.

Georgian Court, however, was able to rally once again, with Samantha Salomon driving in two runs after just beating out an infield single with two outs. Liguori induced a pop out from Reilly to keep the margin at one run going to the bottom of the frame.

One-out singles from Hazewski and Vicendese began ESU's rally in the seventh. After a pop out had the Warriors down to their final out, senior Danielle Wissinger extended the game with an RBI single up the middle.

Liguori stranded runners in scoring position in both the eighth and ninth innings to keep the score 5-5, and Hazewski began the bottom of the ninth with a bunt single. A sacrifice by junior Janine Giordano advanced her to second, and Wallick drove the first pitch she saw to the wall in left field to clinch ESU's eighth victory of the season.

Hazewski went 3 for 5 with two runs scored in Game 2, while junior Heather Visco was 2 for 4 with her 12th stolen base of the season. Hazewski's three-hit game was her first of the spring (she had four hits in a win at Bowie State on March 7).

With her three hits on Sunday, Wallick is now batting a team-high .383 on the season. She is hitting .512 (22-43) during her current 14-game streak.
