CLERMONT, Fla. – Felician College broke open a tie game by scoring 11 fourth-inning runs in its five-inning, 18-7 non-conference softball victory over Wheeling Jesuit University during the Dot Richardson Spring Games on Tuesday morning at Hancock Park. The outburst handed Felician freshman pitcher Alleigha Robinson (Kent, Wash.) her first collegiate victory.

Later on Tuesday, the Golden Falcons (3-5) settled for a split of their pair of games with a 9-2 non-league loss to the University of Mary.

Felician's 18 runs against Wheeling Jesuit (1-4) represented the third-highest total in program history. Junior third-baseman Taylor Parker (Surrey, British Columbia) tied a school record by scoring four runs, becoming the fourth Golden Falcon to do so in a game. Both the Golden Falcons and Cardinals drew nine walks in the contest, and each team committed three errors.

The offenses wasted no time attacking the scoreboard, as the score after two innings stood at 7-5 in favor of Felician, the designated home team. That score held until the top of the fourth, when WJU junior right fielder Angie Reddick (Butler, Pa.) led off with a home run off of Golden Falcon starting pitcher Macy Chase (Sacramento, Calif.).

A walk and a single led Felician to pull Chase in favor of Robinson (1-0). The rookie right-hander issued a walk to load the bases, but then induced a strikeout and a short fly ball. Cardinal freshman Morgan Stohlman (Willougby, Ohio) drew a base on balls to tie the game, but Robinson escaped further damage on a comebacker.

Felician sent 15 batters to the plate in the bottom of the fourth, recording nine hits. Parker scored the go-ahead run when she led off with a single, moved up on a sacrifice, and came home on a double by Aimee Lopez (Riverbank, Calif.). Haylee Williams (Carlsbad, Calif.) had two hits and drove in three runs in the frame, and fellow junior Katie Heflin (Escalon, Calif.) added a two-run single.

Williams finished 3 for 4 with a double and four RBI and senior Halei Van Dyke (West Milford, N.J.) went 2 for 3 and drove in four runs for Felician. Reddick had three of the Cardinals' six hits, including a triple and homer, scored three runs  and drove in two.

Felician, the visiting team for its afternoon game, fell behind, 4-0, after one inning to U-Mary (9-6), and could not claw its way back. Ciera Clark (Granite Bay, Calif.) scored both Felician runs. She blasted a solo home run, her first of the season, to lead off the second, then stroked a one-out double in the fourth and came home on Kelsi Ludwigsen's (Havre de Grace, Md.) RBI single. Clark and Ludwigsen combined for four of Felician's six hits.

The Marauders' Taylor Mendez (Los Banos, Calif.) and Julissa Perales (Olympia, Wash.) hit back-to-back homers to highlight their first-inning rally. Sophomore center fielder Alana Norman (Spokane, Wash.) finished 3 for 4 with three stolen bases and scored twice. U-Mary swiped seven bags in the contest.

Marauder junior right-hander Erin Keen (Boise, Idaho) (4-2) gave up two runs on six hits and struck out seven batters in 4 1/3 innings in the pitching circle. Cherlyn Trujillo (San Jose, Calif.) got the last eight outs, without allowing a hit, for her first save of 2014.

Golden Falcon senior righty Tori Bradburn (Ridge, Md.) (2-2) pitched a complete-game. She allowed seven earned runs on 13 hits, struck out one, and walked three.
