PITTSBURGH, Pa. (April 11) – The Waynesburg University softball team traveled to Chatham for a rare night Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) doubleheader on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets took game one 12-1 (5 innings) and came back for a 6-3 victory in the late contest.
 
Waynesburg (21-9, 9-5) opened the scoring with a run in the first and doubled its advantage in the second when sophomore Graeson Grubbs (Volant, Pa. / Wilmington) singled home sophomore Lorryn Sepe (Pittsburgh, Pa. / Penn-Trafford) in the second. The visitors put the game well out of reach in an explosive third inning.
 
Waynesburg scored eight runs on eight hits while sending 14 batters to the plate. Junior Jamie Kelly (Front Royal, Va. / Skyline) and sophomore Rylie Rohbeck (Oakdale, Pa. / South Fayette) recorded triples, while senior Braylee Corbin (Petersburg, W.Va. / Petersburg) doubled in both of her at-bats.
 
An RBI double by Sepe and a run-scoring single by Grubbs in the fourth put Waynesburg ahead 12-0. The Cougars (10-20, 4-8) posted their lone run in the bottom of the fourth, before a scoreless fifth brought about the early end to the contest.
 
Every member of Waynesburg's starting lineup but one tallied at least one hit in the victory. Sepe led the charge by going 3-for-3 and coming a homerun shy of the cycle. She logged one RBI and scored three times.
 
All that offense was more than enough support for freshman Morgan Walt (Hunker, Pa. / Hempfield), who improved to 5-0 on the season after tossing her fourth complete game of 2026. She scattered six hits over five innings and logged three strikeouts in the victory.
 
Game two got off to another quick start for Waynesburg thanks to sophomore Meysa Heitmann (Morgantown, W.Va. / University), who tripled home Corbin and Kelly in the first to stake the Jackets to a 2-0 advantage. Unlike the opener, however, Chatham answered Waynesburg's challenge. Helped out by two Jacket errors, the Cougars tallied three runs and took their first-and-only lead of the evening.
 
The advantage was short-lived, as Kelly came through in the clutch with a two-out RBI single that plated Seppe and tied the score at 3-3 in the top of the fourth. Junior Brynn Charnesky (Scottdale, Pa. / Southmoreland) scored the eventual game-winning run when she raced home on a wild pitch that put her team back up 4-3.
 
Chatham had a golden opportunity to tie the game back up or retake the lead when it loaded the bases in the bottom of the frame with just one out on the board. Freshman Emily Pratt (Bedford, Pa. / Bedford) showed mental toughness beyond her years as she escaped the threat by inducing a popout and a groundout to close the door on the Cougar rally.
 
Waynesburg tacked on two important insurance runs in the sixth and again did the damage with two outs on the board. Sepe scored yet another run when she was doubled home by Rohbeck to grow the Jacket advantage to 5-3. An RBI double by Kelly brought about the eventual final score.
 
Rohbeck, Kelly, Heitmann and Sepe logged two hits each to power Waynesburg's 11-hit performance.
 
It wasn't always easy, but Pratt upped her record in the circle to 4-2 on the season after allowing two earned runs over a complete-game performance. She yielded seven hits and one walk, while tallying four strikeouts.
 
Waynesburg is back in action on Wednesday, April 15, when it hosts Thiel for another conference twin-bill. First pitch is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
