Five-Run Rally Lifts Softball over Virginia Tech, 7-5

April 7, 2010

BOONE, N.C. - Megan Rembielak hit a two-run single to tie the game at five and Allie Cashion followed with another two-run single as Appalachian State University softball rallied from a 5-2 deficit to beat Virginia Tech, 7-5, on April 7 in Boone.

With the win, ASU improves to 18-15 overall while Virginia Tech drops to 15-24 on the year. The win is ASU's first-ever over Virginia Tech and the second over an Atlantic Coast Conference institution, the Apps beat NC State in 2004.

After the Hokies scored three runs in the top of the fifth, the Mountaineers battled back in the sixth. Michelle Lighton led off the inning with a single, and after a foul out and a ground out, Hannah Dow singled to left field to move Lighton to third. Meagan Squartino followed with a pinch-hit single up the middle to score Lighton and narrow the lead to 5-3. Sarah Rappe reached on an error to load the bases to set the table for Rembielak and Cashion. Rembielak lofted a line drive over the third baseman's head and just inside fair territory to tie the game and Cashion lined an 0-2 pitch into right-center to drive in the game-winning runs.

ASU struck quickly in the bottom of the first, Rappe led off with a single and advanced to second on a bunt single by Rembielak. Virginia Tech starting pitcher Jasmin Harrell was able to get the next two batters out, but Michelle Lighton blasted a double off the right-center field fence to drive in Rappe and Rembielak.

The Hokies came back to tie the game with single runs in the second and third and took a 5-2 lead in the fifth when Misty Hall hit a three-run homer to left center.

Rembielak, Cashion, McKenzie Phillips and Lighton all had two hits apiece to lead ASU's 11 hit attack. Courtney Liddle and Kristen Froehlich led the Hokies' with two hits apiece.

Caitlin Wainright earned the win in relief, pitching two innings and giving up one hit.
