game behind the second perfect game of the season by junior pitcher Maria DeBonis (Nazareth,
PA/Notre Dame), who improved to 6-3 on the season. DeBonis, who has tossed three

all of the offense she needed with a run in the top of the first inning.
Freshman shortstop Stephanie Falzarano (South Plainfield, NJ/South Plainfield) led

innings, four innings shy of the mark of 50 set in 2007.

single. Freshman third baseman Maura
Agnew (Doylestown, PA/Lansdale Catholic) hit an RBI ground out that scored Paly before
freshman outfielder Megan Boyle
finished off the inning with a two-RBI double. The Greyhounds finished the game
with ten hits including three-for-four performances by Paly and Paulus and Ritchey going two-for-three.

Landmark Conference doubleheader with Juniata College for one day, moving the
doubleheader from Saturday, April 5th to Sunday, April 6th at 1:00 p.m. at Blue
& Grey Field in Bethlehem. The switch was made due to field conditions and
expected rain on Saturday.
Moravian opened a Landmark
Conference doubleheader with a 6-2 victory over Juniata College at Blue &

The Greyhounds pushed their lead to 6-1 with two runs on the bottom of the
third inning. DeBonis
walked with an out before junior catcher Deanna
Mangieri drew a two-out walk. Ritchey then hit a two-RBI double to right
field to score DeBonis
and Mangieri.
The Eagles
finished off the scoring in the top of fifth inning on a Moravian throwing
error. Juniata had five hits in the game while the Greyhounds had six hits.
Neither team had a player with more than one hit in the contest. DeBonis won her
fourth straight decision to improve to 7-3 on the year. She allowed two runs,
just one earned, on five hits and four walks while striking out nine batters.
The Greyhounds swept their
fourth straight doubleheader and remained undefeated in the inaugural Landmark
Conference season with a 10-0, five-inning victory over Juniata College at Blue
& Grey Field. The win was the ninth straight for the Greyhounds and eight
have been by shutout.
Freshman Elizabeth Python improved to 8-2 in the
circle this season for Moravian, allowing just two hits and striking out four
batters in her fifth straight shutout. The Greyhounds gave Python all of the offense she needed with a pair of runs in the
bottom of the first inning. Senior shortstop Beth Paly singled with two outs and moved
to second on a wild pitch. Junior first baseman Sheri Bieniek followed with an RBI double
to left centerfield, and Bieniek would score from second on a Juniata throwing error
on a ball hit by junior designated player Maria
DeBonis.
Moravian
extended its lead to 6-0 in the bottom of the second inning with four more
runs. Junior catcher Deanna Mangieri reached
on an error by the Eagles before freshman third baseman Maura Agnew singled. Freshman outfielder Amanda Paulus walked to load the bases,
and then freshman outfielder Stephanie
Falzarano
reached on a fielder's choice on which everyone was safe and Mangieri scored. Junior outfielder Erica Klepeisz
hit a two-RBI single to score Agnew
and Paulus
before Paly
hit a ball off of the pitchers glove to score Falzarano.
The
Greyhounds pushed three more runs across the plate in the bottom of the third
inning for a 9-0 lead. DeBonis
hit a solo home run to center field, her second homer of the season, to lead
off the inning. Falzarano
would eventually hit a two-RBI double scoring Mangieri, who had singled, and Agnew,
who had reached on a fielder's choice.
Moravian's
final run came in the bottom of the fourth inning, the Greyhounds' final at-bat
due to the NCAA eight-run rule. Freshman pinch hitter Amie Ballo walked to lead off the inning
and then junior second baseman Katie
Agnew (Doylestown, PA/Lansdale
Catholic) reached on an infield single. The runners would move up a base as
the Eagles tried to pull off a double play on a line drive hit by Mangieri but a throwing error gave the
runners an additional base. Sophomore third baseman Kelly Maressa (Allentown, PA/William Allen)
then hit an RBI single up the middle to score Ballo while Katie Agnew was out
