How It Happened
 
*  Abington plated a pair of runners in the bottom half the first inning after junior Callie Chambers and Gretchen Yanss hit back-to-back run scoring singles.  The two base knocks gave the Nittany Lions an early 2-0 lead.
 
* The Nittany Lions increased their lead to 3-0 in the bottom of the second when freshman Ava Livingston hit a sacrifice fly to right field that scored sophomore Emily Foxhill.  Foxhill led the inning off with a walk and then went on to steal second base before advancing to third base on a wild pitch.
 
* Eastern Nazarene got on the board in the top half of the third inning with a four-run frame.  With the score 3-1, the Lions scored their next three runs with two outs in the inning.  Abby Stansbury tied the game with a two-run single up the middle to tie the game at 3-3.  Stansbury scored the go-ahead run off a double from Alexys Giddings.
 
* The Lions scored two runs in the fourth with Izabel Pozar and Bailey Olaveson coming through with run scoring hits to increase the lead to 6-3.
 
Inside the Numbers
 
* As a team, Abington drew eight walks with three players reaching base twice during the game via base on balls, including freshmen Victoria Butler and Isabella Antosiewicz and Foxhill.
 
* Junior Hailey Gamble and freshman Marlena Hacker each had hits for the Nittany Lions along with Chambers and Yanss.
 
* For Eastern Nazarene, Giddings went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI.  Stansbury also went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored. Faith Bonar earned the win after pitching 5.2 innings before Cayley McCurdy entered with 1.1 innings of relief to receive the save.
