Box Score (Game 1)  |  Box Score (Game 2)

ASTON, Pa. – Freshman Denva Shaw-Tait delivered a walk-off double in Game 1, helping East Stroudsburg University earn a doubleheader split with Franklin Pierce at the Maplezone Sports Institute on Sunday afternoon.

The Warriors won the opener by a 5-4 final before dropping Game 2 by a 6-1 score. ESU (9-11) won 3 of 4 games overall in the four-game weekend series with the Ravens (3-9).

Shaw-Tait's double was her second go-ahead hit of the series, as she put the Warriors in front with a two-run homer in the sixth inning of Game 2 yesterday. She finished the weekend 6 for 12 at the plate with five RBIs and four extra-base hits to raise her season average to .267.

Trailing 2-0 heading into the bottom of the fourth, ESU rallied to tie the score on a two-out, two-run double by freshman Rachel Seiverd. The Warriors then went ahead with two more runs in the sixth, as sophomore Mickayla Grow delivered an RBI triple, and sophomore Ashley Spencer plated Grow on an RBI groundout to second base.

Franklin Pierce's Ashley Conway extended the game with a two-run double in the top of the seventh. That setup ESU's first walk-off hit of the year, as junior Kaylee Hazewski led off with a single, stole second and scored on Shaw-Tait's second hit of the afternoon.

Grow improved to 3-1 after working the final three innings in the circle.

Cyrena Zemaitis had a dominant outing for Franklin Pierce in Game 2, striking out 11 while allowing just one unearned run in the first inning. That Warrior run scored on a Shaw-Tait sacrifice fly.

The six Raven runs came in the fourth and fifth innings. All six were charged to senior Angelica Dark, but only two of the six were earned.

Junior Erica Molinaro pitched the final two innings; she worked four innings overall on the afternoon, giving up four hits and no earned runs for ESU. Freshman Lexi Wright had half of the Warriors' four hits, including her first double of the year in sixth.

Hazewski added two more steals in the nightcap to raise her season total to 23. That is already only two short of her previous season-best of 25 established as a freshman in 2017, and it gives her 71 thefts overall in her Warrior career.

ESU returns to action on Wednesday afternoon, traveling to Nyack for a doubleheader scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
