Softball Happy to Return Home After Tough Road Trip

VIRGINIA 8, HARVARD 0

In the second of two games at Virginia, a three-run homer by Cavalier right fielder Meaghan Young in the bottom of the sixth inning extended Virginia's lead to eight runs and ended the game on account of the mercy rule.

Young was 3-for-4 on the afternoon, with four RBI and two runs scored. She was just one double shy of hitting for the cycle.

Harvard starter Guy struggled on the mound, allowing eight runs -all earned--on eleven hits.

For Virginia (15-27), starter Kristen Dennis was masterful, striking out eight. Through six innings, she did not allow a single Crimson baserunner to advance past first base.

VIRGINIA 4, HARVARD 0

In the first game of the doubleheader in Charlottesville, Va., the Cavaliers scored four runs in the first inning, providing senior pitcher Stacey Zagol with all the support she would need en route to a two-hit, 4-0 shutout of the Crimson.

Zagol struck out five and walked just one batter in the contest, which was called early due to rain.

Thoke, who gave up eight hits and two earned runs in five innings, received the loss for Harvard.
