Center Valley, PA (April 5, 2025) - The DeSales University softball salvaged a split of its MAC Freedom doubleheader on Saturday afternoon taking game one, 7-6, with FDU-Florham at McGettigan Park.

Game One (W/7-6) 
FDU-Florham got on the board first on a two-run home run to take a 2-0 lead. The Devils would score one more in the top of the first on an RBI double to push the lead up to 3-0.

DSU answered right back in the bottom of the first inning with three runs of their own. Junior Shana Gugliandolo had a two-RBI double and first-year Kylie Llewellyn later drew an RBI bases-loaded walk for the Bulldogs three runs in the frame as the game was tied at 3 after one inning. 
 
Sophomore Paige Hromin came through with an RBI single in the fourth inning to give DSU the 4-3 lead. However, in the fifth inning the Devils rallied back and retook the lead credited to a three-run home run to go up 6-4.
 
Bulldogs had yet another answer in the sixth inning plating three runs with first-year Gianna Angermeier providing the game-tying RBI single and senior Madison Kelly coming through with the go-ahead RBI on a sac-fly to center field to score Angermeier to go up 7-6. 
 
Devils could not put together anything in the top of the seventh as they went down 1-2-3 and the Bulldogs snuck out the game one win.
 
Senior Rachel Lowry earned the win pitching a complete game allowing six runs on nine hits in seven innings of work.
 
Angermeier finished 3-for-4 with three runs scored and one RBI. Junior Ava Goodman went 2-for-3 with one run scored in the win.
 
Game Two (L/2-7)
Angermeier continued her breakout day with an RBI single to get the scoring started in the bottom of the third inning.
 
Devils answered in a big way in the next frame with a seven-run fourth inning to flip the game over and take a 7-1 lead. FDU had six hits as part of the seven-run inning with three of those runs being unearned due to a fielding error by the Bulldogs.
 
Kelly cut into the Bulldog deficit in the seventh inning with a solo home run but that was all that DSU was able to string together as the bats went out quiet in game two.
 
Junior Riley Long took the loss pitching three and 2/3 innings allowing two earned runs while scattering seven hits and striking out five.
 
Kelly finished 1-for-1 with two walks, one RBI, and one run scored in the loss.
