How it Happened

The Red and Blue came into Tuesday looking for a win after back-to-back close losses to Dartmouth to close the weekend. It's safe to say they could not have asked for a better start.

Jurie Joyner had her most successful outing at the plate this season and got the bats going bringing in Sarah Cwiertnia and Jennifer Bran to go up an early 2-0.

The Quakers' scoring in the first inning was far from over.

Penn went nine straight batters without getting an out that included five consecutive hits with Molly Oretsky, Sarah Ketring, Lucy Yang, Stephanie Reheuser, Sebastianelli, and Jessica England joining in on the action.

When it was all over, the Quakers had taken a 9-0 lead to start the game, the most they've scored in a single inning since 2016 against Cornell.

Lehigh cut into the lead with a two run home run to make it 9-3, but the Mountain Hawks never came within reach.

In the bottom of the sixth with Reheuser on base after walking for the third time, Sebastianelli took her 1-1 pitch and knocked it out of the park and into deep left center. It was the first home run of her young career, coming in walk-off fashion, as Penn took a nine run lead after the fifth to end the game.

What's Next

Penn heads on their first Ivy League road trip as the Quakers travel to Providence to play Brown.
