Beers homers three times, Crimson Hawks sweep Pitt-Johnstown

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - Kaitlyn Beers hit three home runs, including the game-winner in game two, as the IUP softball team swept a doubleheader at Pitt-Johnstown Saturday afternoon. 

The Crimson Hawks won by scores of 5-2 and 6-5, improving to 13-9 overall and 12-8 in the PSAC Western Division. Pitt-Johnstown dropped to 5-17 and 5-15. 

Standout performances
Gr. Kaitlyn Beers: 5-6, four runs, three home runs, four RBI
Sr. Renee Wall: 3-7, two runs, double, RBI 
Soph. Hope Jones: CG win (5-3), 7 strikeouts, four hits, two earned runs in game one

Beers' big season
Kaitlyn Beers continues her career year, bringing her season home run total to 10 in 22 games.. She also has 27 career home runs, which is one behind the IUP all-time record of 28 shared by Sarah White and Jasa Mitchell.

Game one
Haleigh Zimmerman broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning with a sac fly, scoring Hope Jones. Jacey Henderson scored in the fourth, taking advantage of a UPJ error to give IUP a 3-1 lead before Renee Wall hit a run-scoring single in the sixth. 

Beers blasted her first homer of the day in the seventh, a solo shot that gave the Crimson Hawks a 5-1 lead. UPJ tried to rally in the bottom half, but only managed one run off Jones, who went the distance to post her fifth win of the season. 

Game two
Zimmerman gave the Crimson Hawks the lead with another sac fly in the first inning. Beers followed with her second blast, this one a two-run shot in the third inning to give IUP a 3-0 lead. 

UPJ rallied to take the lead in the bottom of the fourth, plating four runs to go up 4-3. IUP tied things up the next inning when Ashley Renzi flew out to right, scoring Beers from third.

Beers then hit that third home run with one out in the top of the seventh to put the Crimson Hawks back on top. Amanda Fischer, who picked up the win in relief, forced three straight groundouts in the bottom half to secure the win.

Up next
The Crimson Hawks have a four-game series with Edinboro on deck. They'll be on the road Friday and host the Fighting Scots Saturday.
