BRADFORD, Pa. – Jenna Castricone posted her first Hilbert home run for the Hawks softball team today, but Bradford knocked a total of six long balls over the fence to claim two AMCC victories.

Bradford homered to the left field in the bottom of the second inning and added two more run in the fourth before Rachel Collier's 2RBI double pushed in Crystal Hailey and TylerLynn Langer home for Hilbert's two runs in the fifth.

Bradford closed the game with four additional home runs which combined for the final nine runs in the 12-2 victory.

Hilbert connected for six hits.  TylerLynn Langer went 2 for 3 while Erin Smith and Lindsay O'Neil went 1 for 2.

Jaelyn Gotham tossed the five-inning, 11 hit, one strike out, one walk game. 

Hilbert bunted their way to their first score in the night cap.  Rebecca Bailey moved to second after a bunt and throwing error by the third basewoman.  She continued her trek to third off the Crystal Hailey sac bunt and home off TylerLynn Langer's sac fly to left field.

Bradford's first batter in the bottom half of first inning took first after being hit by pitch then stole second base.  The very next batter homered to left field for the 2-1 lead which stretched to 4-1 by the top of fourth.
