GLENSIDE, Pa.- Though Eastern University Softball only scored in one inning in their doubleheader at Arcadia, the Eagles made their four-run 3rd in the nightcap stand up as they battled for a split. The Eagles lost a 2-0 pitchers' duel in game one, but they held on for a 4-3 win after jumping to a 4-0 lead in the second game.

The Eagles did all their damage after two were out in the third. The Eagles loaded the bases with a walk, a Maggie McGowan single, and a hit batsman. Emily Houk reached on an error to plate a run, and Katelyn Donald delivered a three-run double to give the Eagles a 4-0 lead.

Arcadia (10-6) had three hits in the fourth off McGowan, but the Knights were only able to grab one run back. The Knights secured unearned runs in the fifth and sixth innings to further trim the Eastern edge to 4-3, but Fair pitched an efficient seventh in relief to pickup her second save of the season.

McGowan had two of the four Eastern hits in the second game. The senior allowed nine hits in six innings, but she only walked a single batter as she picked up her third win of the season.

Eastern (9-6) only managed three hits in support of game one starter Janelle Fair. Arcadia scored single tallies in the third and the sixth to to secure the win. Fair scattered seven hits over six innings and walked only one while striking out a season-high eight batters. McGowan had two of the three Eastern hits in the opening game.

The Eagles are scheduled to host King's in an important Freedom Conference doubleheader on Saturday, but threatening forecasts have led to some schedule uncertainty. Check goeasterneagles or follow @EUEagles on twitter for up to the minute updates.
