Slide Continues for Softball

BEAVER FALLS, Pa.  – It has been a long last month for the Geneva College softball team.  Plagued by poor weather and infrequent games since returning from Florida, the Golden Tornadoes have struggled to play winning ball in the few games they have gotten in, and their slide continued on Tuesday afternoon as the Golden Tornadoes dropped a pair of games to Westminster by scores of 3-2 and 16-2.  Geneva's record has fallen below .500 for the first time this season at 8-10 overall, 0-4 in the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC), while Westminster improved to 13-5, 4-0 in the PAC.

In the first game, Geneva faced the best pitcher in the conference, Westminster's senior Jazmyn Rohrer, who came into the day with a PAC leading 9-1 record and an impressive 0.89 ERA.  Sophomore pitcher Bobbi Ann Theiss proved to be up for the task, though, as she kept the Titans close all game.  Westminster managed to score single runs in the fourth and fifth innings to take a 2-0 lead.

To Geneva's credit, the team found a way to battle back against Rohrer by scoring twice in the bottom of the fifth.  A double from Theiss scored junior Ericka Hess, and then Theiss later scored on a sacrifice fly from senior Hannah Logan to tie the score 2-2.

That's where the game remained until Westminster took advantage of a Geneva error in the top of the seventh to push across an unearned run, which proved to be the difference in the game, 3-2.

Geneva managed just two hits against Rohrer, the big one coming from Theiss.  Theiss pitched the complete game, throwing all seven innings and giving up seven hits and two earned runs, while striking out two.

In game two, the game got out of hand early, with Geneva errors once again proving costly.  Westminster scored seven times in the first inning, four of them unearned. 

The game only got worse from there, as Westminster continued to score runs, and the game was called after five innings, 16-2.

Geneva managed just three hits in the nightcap, with junior Haley Sainato contributing a triple in three at-bats.  Theiss struggled through the first inning before giving way to relief, and the loss dropped her record to 6-5 on the season.

Geneva continues with its busy week and will look to get back into the win column on Thursday night when it travels to take on Chatham University, with the first game starting at 6:30 p.m.  Geneva will then return home for doubleheaders against Bethany on Friday and Thomas More on Saturday.
