BEAVER FALLS, Pa. – The Geneva College softball team wrapped up its regular season with a sweep of visiting Pitt-Greensburg on Monday by scores of 3-0 and 6-4, with sophomore McKenzie Rapp earning the saves in both games to break the program's single-season saves record with eight.  The Golden Tornadoes head into the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Tournament with a 26-14 overall record.

Sophomore Sophia Tvaroch got the start in the circle in game one, and she was excellent throughout.  The offense provided her an early run in the bottom of the second when sophomore Madison Rapp led off with a double and scored on a single from sophomore Jorja Koerner.

That proved to be more than enough offense for Tvaroch, who never let the Bobcats put together anything close to a rally.  Senior Julia Hart provided Tvaroch with two insurance runs when she hit a 2-run home run in the bottom of the fifth.

McKenzie Rapp relieved Tvaroch to start the seventh, and she retired the Bobcats in order to seal the 3-0 victory.  Tvaroch earned her eighth win of the season with six innings of shutout work, giving up just three hits while striking out six.

Hart had the big hit in the game with her home run.  Koerner and sophomores Lexi Zanic and Alex Guzman each contributed two hits in the win.

Graduate student Haley Smith got the start in the circle in game two, and Pitt-Greensburg's offense came to life in the top of the first with three runs.  The Bobcats added a fourth run in the top of the third to put Geneva in an early 4-0 hole.

The offense went to work in the bottom of the third, though.  Freshman Kyra Wilcox led off with a single, and then freshman Molly Shelley was hit by a pitch to put the first two batters on.  After the next two batters were retired, sophomore Justine Robbins came up with a big triple down the right field line to cut the Golden Tornado deficit in half, 4-2.

Sophomore Alena Campbell relieved Smith to start the fourth, and she gave Geneva some effective relief in the circle, keeping the Bobcats off the board for the next three innings, allowing the Golden Tornadoes to complete their comeback.

Geneva took its first lead of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning.  Guzman led off with a single, and freshman Makenna Redfern followed with a single to put the first two batters on base again.  Two batters later, Shelley laced one into the left-centerfield gap to drive home two runs and pull the Golden Tornadoes level.  Two batters later, Hart drove in Shelley with a single to give Geneva a 5-4 advantage.

The Golden Tornadoes added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth.  Zanic led off with a double, and she eventually came around to score on a single from Robbins.

Rapp relieved Campbell in the top of the seventh, and she worked around a leadoff double to finish off the 6-4 victory, earning her school record-breaking eighth save of the season.

Campbell picked up her third win of the season with three scoreless innings of relief, giving up just three hits.

Robbins led the offense with three hits and two RBIs.  Shelley went 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBIs, while Guzman had another solid game at the plate with two hits.

Geneva now enters the postseason having won five straight and 14 of its last 15 games.  The Golden Tornadoes finished in a three-way tie for first place in the PAC, but Geneva lost the tiebreakers and enters the PAC Tournament as the No. 3 seed.  The Golden Tornadoes will take on No. 6 Waynesburg at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, with Westminster hosting the double-elimination tournament as the No. 1 seed.
