Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 MEADVILLE, Pa. (March 24) – The Waynesburg University softball team hit the road on Tuesday for a Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) doubleheader at Allegheny. The Yellow Jackets won the opener 8-3 and held an 11-9 lead going into the seventh inning of game two when the game was postponed due to darkness.
 
Waynesburg (13-4, 2-1) never trailed in the opener and scored the game's first run in the top of the first when junior Jamie Kelly (Front Royal, Va. / Skyline) doubled in sophomore Meysa Heitmann (Morgantown, W.Va. / University).
 
The Jackets doubled their lead in the top of the third thanks to sophomore Rylee Rohbeck (Oakdale, Pa. / South Fayette) driving Kelly home with a single. The road team made it a 3-0 game in the top of the fourth when senior Bella DeMark (Carnegie, Pa. / Bishop Canevin) came around to score on a Heitmann single.
 
Allegheny (4-9, 1-2) made it interesting by pushing two runs across home plate in the bottom of the fifth. However, Waynesburg not only recovered those scores, but put the contest well out of reach in the top of the seventh.
 
Rohbeck, freshman Morgan Walt (Hunker, Pa. / Hempfield), DeMark, and Heitmann all logged RBIs in the Jackets' final at-bats of game one. Senior Braylee Corbin (Petersburg, W.Va. / Petersburg) also scored on an error during the at-bat of junior Brynn Charnesky (Scottdale, Pa. / Southmoreland).
 
Allegheny tallied its final run of the contest in the bottom of the frame and loaded the bases with two outs on the board, but sophomore Madison Baker (Kittaning, Pa. / Armstrong) induced a game-ending flyout.
 
Baker worked the final 2.1 innings in the circle in relief of sophomore starter Pressly Meadows (Annapolis, Ohio / Edison). Meadows improved to 5-1 on the season after allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings of work.
 
Heitmann continued her red hot hitting by going 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored to pace the Yellow Jacket offense. Corbin and Rohbeck added two hits each to the winning effort, while Kelly scored a game-high two runs.
 
Waynesburg rocketed out of the gate in game two and grabbed a 6-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Corbin teed off on her PAC-leading seventh home run of 2026 to open the scoring. That seventh long ball ties her with Kerri Petko (2003) for the most in a season since at least 1991.
 
Two batters later, sophomore Tori Foust (Blairsville, Pa. / River Valley) roped a two-run double. Charnesky followed with a run-scoring single, which led to an early pitching change for the Gators. Heitmann brought in the final run of the inning with an RBI fielder's choice.
 
The visiting team expanded its edge to 8-0 in the top of the second when Walt scored DeMark with an RBI groundout and Charnesky singled home Foust.
 
Allegheny broke up the shutout in the bottom of the frame with an unearned run, but Waynesburg got the score back in the top of the third when Rohbeck connected on her first collegiate homerun to make the score 9-1.
 
Momentum swung firmly into Allegheny's favor in the bottom of the third when it racked up six runs to make the score 9-7.
 
Yet another Waynesburg hitter got in on the action in the top of the fourth, when freshman Sydney Fisher (Pittsburgh, Pa. / Upper St. Clair) came through with a two-out, two-run single that scored Heitmann and freshman Lorryn Sepe (Pittsburgh, Pa. / Penn-Trafford).
 
The home team fired back in the bottom of half of the frame with its eighth run of the contest (11-8). After neither team scored in the fifth, Allegheny trimmed its deficit down to just two with a run in the bottom of the sixth.
 
It was at this point that the ending of the game was postponed due to darkness. At the time of the stoppage, the two conference rivals had combined for 30 hits and four walks.
 
Foust and Sepe paced the Jackets with three hits, including one double, each. Heitmann, Rohbeck and Charnesky tallied a pair of knocks each in the late contest. This was Heitmann's third-straight multi-hit game and her sixth of the season. Four different Jackets scored two runs each and they also boasted four players with two RBIs each. Foust is the only one to log two RBIs and two runs.
 
The date to complete the slugfest will be announced in the near future.

UPDATE: On Wednesday, March 25, the game was officially pronounced as completed, giving Waynesburg the win.
 
Waynesburg continues a busy week on Thursday, when it hosts Pitt Greensburg for a non-PAC twin bill. First pitch is scheduled to be thrown at 2:30 p.m.
