Softball Rallies to Defeat Moravian, 7-5

THE BASICS:
 
- Score: MIT - 7, Moravian - 5
 
- Records: MIT (8-1), Moravian (10-5)
 
- Location: Bethlehem, Pa. (Blue & Grey Field)
 
- The Lead: The MIT softball team used two three-run innings to help secure a 7-5 come-from-behind road victory over Moravian on Monday afternoon.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
-  The hosts took an early 2-0 lead on a single from Marcie Silberman in the bottom of the first.
 
- MIT took the lead in the top of the third on a bases-clearing triple from sophomore Mackenzie Bivin (San Diego, Calif.).
 
- Another triple, this one from first year Ava Ladd (Austin, Texas) in the fourth plated sophomore Kristen Lee (Freehold, N.J.) to put MIT up 4-2.
 
- The Greyhounds put runners on the corners with two outs in the bottom of the fifth, but first year Caroline Langmeyer (Upper Arlington, Ohio) got Silberman to strikeout swinging to end the frame.
 
- In the bottom of the sixth, Moravian tied the game on back-to-back doubles from Sage Snyder and Mya Zettlemoyer. After a single advanced Zettlemoyer to third, she stole home for the go-ahead run.
 
- Sophomore Kennedy Adkison (San Jose, Calif.) doubled, and senior Jordan Sell (Schwenksville, Pa.) walked to put two runners on with one out in the seventh. Junior Mackenzie Relihan (Naperville, Ill.) then hit a pinch-hit single to plate Adkison and tie the game. A Bivin groundout plated Sell, and first year Kara Hines (Cynthiana, Ky.) earned a pinch-hit RBI single to make it a 7-5 MIT lead. Langmeyer got the Greyhounds out in order in the bottom of the inning to secure the win.
 
INSIDE THE BOXSCORE:
 
- Langmeyer moves to 4-0 as she pitched 6.2 innings and allowed two runs on three hits. She walked five and struck out five.
 
- Adkison and Ladd registered two-hit games for MIT while Bivin led the way with four RBI. Bivin leads the Engineers with 16 RBI so far this season.

- Sarah DeStefano took the loss for Moravian as she is 5-1 on the season. She pitched three innings and allowed three runs on four hits with one walk and three strikeouts. She went 2-3 at the plate with a run scored.
 
UP NEXT:
 
- The Engineers return to the field tomorrow, Tuesday, March 28 for a doubleheader at Haverford with first pitch scheduled for 3:00 p.m.
