* Abington got on the board in the bottom of the third after back-to-back two-out doubles by juniors Marlena Hacker and Lainey Scotese to make the score 5-1.
 
* In the fourth, Wilson answered with a pair of runs after Sydney Hartle's two-out two-run single down the left field line.  The Phoenix scored another two runs in the fifth when Addison Woods connected on a two-run home run. 
 
* Wilson's Elena Worthington (3-2) retired the Nittany Lions in order in the fifth as the universal eight-run mercy rule went into effect.  Worthington held Abington to just two hits and one run while striking out four.

* Hacker and Scotese accounted for both Abington hits after each going 1-for-2 at the plate.
 
* For Wilson, Hartle went 1-for-3 with three RBI, while Woods finished 1-for-2 with a run and two RBI.
 
How It Happened (Game 2)
 
* In game two, Wilson scored an early first inning run after Hartle recorded her first of three RBI in the game.  Abington answered back in the bottom of the inning with two runs of its own to take a 2-1 lead.  Hacker connected on a run scoring triple and scored two batters later on a base hit by freshman Tori Colagreco.
 
* Wilson regained the lead in the top half of the second with a pair of runs.  Woods recorded a run scoring triple and then scored on a double by Jenna Weaver.  Once again, the Nittany Lions responded in the bottom of the inning.  Junior Isabella Antosiewicz tied the game at 3-3 after scoring sophomore Morgan Craig with a fielder's choice to first base.  Craig led the inning off with a double.

Inside the Box Score (Game 2)
 
* Hacker went 1-for-3 with a run and an RBI.  Her second inning triple marked her third of the season and 13th of her career. She now ranks second all-time trailing only Breanna Lineman (2014-17) and Hailey Gamble (2022-25) for most triples in program history.
 
* Craig went 1-for-3 with a double and run scored.
 
* Sophomore Jess Dinardo went the distance in the pitching circle.  She finished her outing with six strikeouts tying her career and season-high for the third time this season.
 
* For Wilson, Hartle finished 3-for-4 with three RBI. Julia Wilkes (4-1) earned the win as she allowed two unearned runs in seven innings.  She struck out six batters.   
 
All-Time Series
