The College of Wooster softball team combined for 22 runs and 30 hits in a Sunday sweep of Allegheny College. Wooster won the first game 7-3, and won in five innings in game two, 15-4.

The Scots also hit three home runs on the day. In game two, the Scots batted around the lineup twice, opening the game up with six runs in the third and eight in the fourth.

In fact, game two saw new program single game records in hits (21) and total bases (29).

Senior Heidi Likins tied the game 2-2 with a shot to left field to lead off the third. That started a chain of six singles that made it a 7-2 game.

Junior Molly Likins hit a two-run single. First-year Lilly McLendon scored Likins on a single to short before senior Emmalee Cooke hit another two-run single for the Scots.

In the fourth, first-year Anna Norby hit her third home run of the weekend. This time, it was a grand slam to make it an 11-2 game. She came back to the plate later in the inning with another bases loaded opportunity but popped out.

Norby's four RBI led the team, while Cooke and Heidi Likins followed with three. Cooke, Molly Likins, Katie Agatucci and Brooke Swain all had three hits.

Swain scored three times atop the lineup and had two stolen bases. She also had a pair of stolen bases in game one.

Senior Marissa Norgrove went all five innings on the mound to collect her fifth win. She allowed four runs and struck out seven.

In game one, senior Olivia Johnson went six innings of no-run softball and stuck out five to improve to 4-3. First-year Rachael Dudziak pitched the final frame as all three runs against her were unearned.

Agatucci had an RBI single to give Wooster an 1-0 lead in the first inning. The Scots collected two more in the third with a single from Molly Likins and on a field error.

Likins later had a RBI double to start a 3-run fifth. Wooster scored on another error, and Swain collected an RBI on a groundout.

Finally, sophomore Addie Tagg pinch hit in the sixth and hit her first collegiate home run over the left field fence.

Wooster improves to 10-6 overall and 5-3 in NCAC East play. Allegheny falls to 0-8 and 0-4 in the NCAC.

Next, Wooster travels to Kenyon on Saturday.
