O'Connor Wins Twice; Lions Walk-Off Against Wisconsin-Stout

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Senior Sammi O'Connor picked up two victories on the mound and Jordan Chell scored the winning run from second base in the eighth inning on an error as Albright extended its winning streak to four straight with wins over Principia and Wisconsin-Stout on day two of the Fastpitch Dreams Tournament.

Albright, which improved to 5-1 on the season, defeated Principia 6-2 and then produced a 5-4 walk-off win against Wisconsin-Stout.

The Lions fell behind 1-0 in the first inning against Wisconsin-Stout before rallying to take the lead in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Kelly Cembrale led off the Lions fourth inning by reaching on a Blue Devisl fielding error. One out later, Cembrale advanced to second when Armida Roman singled through the right side.

O'Connor then laced a double that scored both Cembrale and pinch runner Zoe Robertson and put Albright in front 2-1.

Wisconsin-Stout, which dropped to 2-4 on the season, countered with a pair of runs in the top of the fifth inning to go back in front 3-2.

Albright responded with a run in the bottom of the fifth inning to knot the score at 3-3.

Stephanie Pomante led off the inning with a double to left and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Morgan Cullen. Madison Bear tied the game at 3-3 when she singled to center, which brought home Pomante with the tying run.

The two teams remained deadlocked after seven innings and went into extra innings where the Blue Devils scored a run in the top of the eighth inning to take a 4-3 lead.

Brianne Long was placed on second base to begin the inning and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Roman. O'Connor walked and Milburn was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out.

Following a strikeout, Pomante hit a ground ball to shortstop that scooted between her legs allowing Long and Chell to score the tying and winning runs.

O'Connor came on in relief of Riley Gerenda and worked 7.1 innings and allowed just two earned runs while striking out 10 batters.

Albright jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first game of the day against Principia when Roman hit an RBI double in the first and Corinne Garuffe produced an RBI groundout in the second inning.

After the Panters had cut the lead to 2-1, Albright tacked on two more runs when O'Connor and Long scored on a Principia fielding error.

The Lions put the game away in the bottom of the sixth inning when Bear and Cembrale scored on another Principia fielding error.

O'Connor went the distance against the Panthers as she worked 7.0 innings and allowed just four hits and struck out nine batters.

The Lions will continue tournament play on Tuesday (March 15) when they face Spalding at 11:30 a.m. and Eureka at 1:30 p.m.
