Freedom Conference doubleheader against Wilkes. The Colonel's Lindsay Behrenshause pitched a pair of complete games and held the Eastern bats in check as Wilkes escaped with the sweep.

After a 10-2 win in game one, the visitors earned a 3-1 win in the second game. The Eagles started well in game two, as they jumped to an early lead with a manufactured run in the bottom of the first. Alissa Brubaker singled to center. The senior shortstop advanced when Sam Terenzoni pulled a ground ball to second and moved to third on another ground out. Maggie McGowan dropped a flare between four players behind second base to score the run.

In the top of the second, McGowan gave up a one out single, and then made her only mistake of the contest when she left a ball up in the zone for Erin Plank. The Wilkes catcher drove the ball over the fence in left-center to give the visitors a 2-1 edge. 

Both pitchers showed good command and teams played solid defense behind them, and neither team mounted much of a threat until the seventh. Wilkes scratched for a single run in the top of the seventh, and the Eagles looked ready to answer in the bottom of the inning when Jaimie Schwartz and Molly Oberholzer reached with no one out. Brubaker nearly beat out her sacrifice bunt, but the Eagles still had the tying run in scoring position with one out. Terenzoni lined out to short and Behrenshause ended the rally with her ninth strike out of the game.

Wilkes took the opener 10-2. They used the long ball to jump to an early 1-0 lead when Gina Stephanelli pulled a high pitch to straight away left. Eastern starter Kristine Rosko escaped without further damage in the first and worked an efficient second before running into a little trouble in the third. 

Cori Saltzer had already singled in a run, and the visitors had runners on first and third, when Phelan made a diving stop at third and strong throw to rob Kathy Dalton of a single.  The Eastern bats continued to struggle against Behrenshause, and the Colonels broke the game open with three two-out runs in the bottom of the the fourth. 

After Wilkes got four more in the top of the fifth, the Eastern offense finally got on the board as McGowan blasted a two-run shot to left-center to extend the game.

The Eagles return to action on Monday with a home doubleheader against Arcadia University.
