In the field, Mohr had five putouts and eight assists in 14 chances in the field. Python, pictured at left, had a pair of strong relief performances and picked up the win in the final game, a 7-3 win over Susquehanna, allowing a walk and a strikeout in 3 2/3 innings. For the tournament, Python tossed 7 2/3 innings with a 0.00 ERA, one unearned run, two hits, two walks and three strikeouts. At the plate, Python was one-for-two with a run, two walks and a hit by pitch. She also had a putout and an assist in the field.
The Greyhounds, who are 30-12 overall – the tenth straight 30-win season, will return to action on Friday, May 14th in the NCAA Regionals hosted by Rhode Island College.
