later in the inning to score Santry and Homa. The game would be ended after five innings due to the NCAA's eight-run rule. Moravian had nine hits in the
victory with two each by Oplinger and Klepeisz. Hennessy
earned her second win of the doubleheader and 75th of her career in the circle,
allowing a unearned run on a hit and a walk with seven
