BETHLEHEM, Pa. - A seven-run first inning put Lycoming in the driver's seat as they knocked off second-seeded Catholic 10-0 in five innings to advance to the Landmark Championship game on Sunday afternoon. The Cardinals conclude the 2024 season with 28 wins, the most in the program's history. 

The Cardinals were held to just one hit in the effort, a Sophia Fike single in the first inning. Amy Gastright drew a walk in the first, but the Cardinals would fail to produce another base runner in the contest. 

Avery Eiswerth picked up the victory for Lycoming while Kylie Russell pitched the final two innings to close things out. 

The Warriors got the better of freshman Alex Pley, forcing her from the game in the first inning. Claire Alexander homered to start off the contest before Lycoming tacked on six more runs in the inning. Hailee Sobieski drove in three with a bases-clearing double before scoring on a Cadence Lines double. 

Olivia Stinchcomb pitched 1.1 hitless innings, striking out two for the Cardinals. Fike finishes up her senior season with 59 hits, the most in Catholic history.
