ALLENTOWN, PA (March 28, 2019) -- The King's College softball team faced Muhlenberg College after postponing their initial game. The Mules took both victories improving to 14-4 and the Monarchs are now 7-10.

Game 1: King's 1, Muhlenberg 3
Both teams defenses showed up to play today as neither were able to get a run on the board until the bottom of the third inning as Muhlenberg would score their only two runs of the game.
 
It was the top of the fifth inning that Andria Narisi would draw in Gabby Leary for a run. This is Narisi's first RBI of the season and Leary's sixth run.
 
Leary would make it on base one more time in the top of the seventh after a double to left center, but it wouldn't be enough to save the Monarchs.


Kris Kocher's record goes to 2-5 after pitching six innings allowing four hits and notching seven strikeouts among 21 at bats.

Game 2: King's 1, Muhlenberg 2
Muhlenberg scored first in the first inning and again in the third while holding King's until the top of the sixth inning.
 
Freshman Lindsey Leppo was just the second Monarch to make it on base for game two after a knock to left center. She was followed by Mindina Lieback who earned a walk.
 
Taylor Norris slammed one to right field which was enough for Leppo to make it around third and over home for a Monarch point. This is the eight RBI for Norris and ninth run for Leppo.


Nicole Kirse pitched all six innings with one strikeout and six hits in her 23 at bats. Her record moves to 2-4.
