FREDERICK, Md. - The Hood College softball team spit a non-conference doubleheader with visiting Catholic. The Blazers rebounded to win game two 5-2 after taking a 10-0 loss in the opener. 

Sophia Leaman (Mount Joy, Pa. / Donegal) pitched five innings of no-hit relief to pick up the game two win. She also doubled and scored twice. Ashley Fourcade (Rockville, Md. / Richard Montgomery) had a two-run double in the game and Kristy Erfurdt (Thurmont, Md. / Catoctin) reached base in all three plate appearances with two hits and a walk. 

GAME ONE: CATHOLIC 10, HOOD 0 (5 INNINGS)

The Hood offense ran into Cardinals' starting pitcher Kelly Lynch, who was dialed in, holding the Blazers to just five singles on her way to a shutout. 

Rebekah Hoisl homered, scored three runs, drove in two, walked and stole two bases. Erin Adams homered and had three RBIs.

Hood's best chance came in the third. Two-out singles by Kaylee Krietz (Thurmont, Md. / Catoctin) and Erfurdt put two runners on. A wild pitch moved the duo to scoring position. Kayli Paugh (Elkridge, Md. / Howard) ripped a line drive, but unfortunately it was right at the second baseman to end the inning. 

Beth Laque (Berlin, Md. / Stephen Decatur) took the complete game loss.

GAME TWO: HOOD 5, CATHOLIC 2

The Blazers erased a 2-1 deficit with a three-run third inning to win the nightcap. 

Leaman entered to pitch in the top of the third and kept the Cardinals off balance over the last five innings. She did not allow a hit and walked just two batters for her seventh victory of the year. 

A two-run single by Rebecca Marks gave Catholic a lead in the top of the second, but Hood answered in the bottom of the frame. Shelby Alcorn (Hummelstown, Pa. / Lower Dauphin) led off with a base hit and found herself on third base with one out. Katelyn Long (Bel Air, Md. / C. Milton Wright) sent a fly ball to right field, allowing Alcorn to scurry home and make it a 2-1 ballgame. 

In the bottom of the third, Krietz led off with a base hit. Leaman hit into a fielder's choice, but the Cardinals mishandled the ball to put runners on first and second. After Erfurdt singled to load the bases, a wild pitch tied the game. Fourcade followed with a two run double for a 4-2 Hood lead. 

The Blazers added an insurance run in the fifth. Leaman led off with a double. Erfurdt singled to center, but Catholic misplayed the ball, allowing Leaman to score. 

Alcorn finished with two hits. 

Megan Colline took the loss, giving up four earned runs over six innings. 

Hood travels to Lycoming on Apr. 23.
