Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Philadelphia, Pa. – (3/26/2016) – Chestnut Hill College had it working today at McNeil Field as they earned their second Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) sweep of the season with 8-1 and 6-1 victories over the University of the Sciences (USciences). Junior shortstop Corie Apodaca (Ontario, Calif.) and senior second baseman Julie Heaton (Berlin, N.J.) each recorded four hits in the twin bill while junior Briannen Holloway (Corona, Calif) and senior Kaitlyn Johnson (New Boston, N.H.) each won their fourth games of the season.
 
The opener at the University of the Sciences (6-17, 4-6) was knotted at 1-1 after three innings. It was a four-run fourth inning, highlighted by a three-run triple from senior left fielder Nicole Carney (Ontario, Calif.) that broke the game open for Chestnut Hill College (8-22, 5-3). Back-to-back one-out singles from Heaton and freshman right fielder Ariel Magee (North Cape May, N.J.) put the wheels in motion and a walk to senior designated player Laura Eidam (South Salem, N.Y.) loaded the bases for an run-scoring fielder's choice from junior first baseman Jenna Long (North Wildwood, N.J.), 2-1, and Carney's two-out triple, 5-1. Denying any thought of a rally, the Griffins added three seventh-inning runs on a two-run Eidam single and a Devil error, 8-1.
 
Apodaca and Heaton were 2-for-4 with a run while Magee scored twice on her two hits (2-for-3). Senior catcher Megan Kehr (Exton, Pa.) was responsible for knocking in the other Griffin run with a two-out single in the second inning. Holloway earned her fourth win (4-8), allowing one run on four hits while striking out four.
 
Each side scored earlier in game two, this time knotting at 1-1 after the first frame. The difference came in the fourth inning with Eidam's lead-off single triggering a pair of Griffin tallies. She moved to second base on a wild pitch before heading to the bench for a pinch runner. Freshman Nichole Eberhard (Philadelphia, Pa.) was the fresh pair of legs, she scored immediately on Long single up the middle, 2-1, that was followed by a Devil error, and a successful double steal, 3-1. The Scarlet and Gold again added runs late with three scoring in the seventh inning on singles from Eidam, 4-1, and junior center fielder Ashleigh Sharp (Dresher, Pa.), 6-1.

Apodaca, Heaton, Eidam, Long, and Sharp all recorded two hits in the game. Long scored twice and Sharp knocked in two. Johnson allowed one run on five hits and a walk. She struck out nine in the win (4-8).
