Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 MONACA, Pa. (March 13) – The Waynesburg University softball team traveled to Beaver County on Wednesday for a doubleheader with Penn State Beaver. The Yellow Jackets fell in both ends of the twin bill despite a strong start to game two.
 
Waynesburg (2-8) dropped a 6-1 decision in the opener after falling behind 6-0 after four innings of play. Junior second baseman Ashley Dubovich (New Salem, Pa. / Albert Gallatin) ended the game with a bang by teeing off on a solo homerun in the top of the seventh inning.
 
Senior leftfielder Cat Allstatt (Indianapolis, Ind. / Roncalli) continued a strong start to her final collegiate season by going two-for-four at the dish.
 
The Jackets answered Penn State Beaver (6-4) after it scored the first run of the late contest with a three-spot in the top of the fifth. Junior leftfielder Taylor Staley (Waynesburg, Pa. / Waynesburg Central) scored on an RBI single from junior centerfielder Courtney Syfert (Johnstown, Pa. / Richland), who eventually scored on an error. Freshman Emily Schafer (Meyersdale, Pa. / Meyersdale) posted her team's first run on a wild pitch.
 
Unfortunately, Beaver fired back with five runs of its own in the bottom of the sixth inning to moved ahead 6-3. The Jackets mounted a comeback in the top of the seventh with Allstatt singled home sophomore Hannah Batovsky (New Salem, Pa. / Brownsville). Freshman Megan Walker (Carmichaels, Pa. / Carmichaels) tallied the game's final run on a double steal involving Allstatt.  
 
Waynesburg looked poised to extend the contest after putting runners on the corners with just one out on the board. Unfortunately, the Orange and Black was unable to put a sixth run on the board and the comeback came just short of fruition.
 
Syfert logged a pair of hits, including a double, and stole a base in the late game.
 
Sophomore Emma Kubalak (Spring Mills, Pa. / Penns Valley) logged all 12 innings in the circle.
