CALIFORNIA (April 11) – The Vulcans held a 2-1 lead after two innings against Gannon in Game 1 of a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West doubleheader on Monday afternoon before play was suspended due to rainfall and field conditions.

Cal U and Gannon were both playing their first games since April 2. The doubleheader was scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. before afternoon rainfall postponed the start of the game by nearly two hours.

The Golden Knights took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first on a throwing error before the Vulcans tied the score in the bottom of the inning. Freshman pitcher Caleigh Rister (Bucyrus, Ohio/Bucyrus) opened the bottom of the first with a walk and scored on a double by freshman left fielder Carlena Fiorilli (Mount Vernon, Ohio/Mount Vernon) off the wall in left center.

In the second, sophomore second baseman Salena Jaquay (Pittsburgh, Pa./Baldwin) scored on a wild pitch with the bases loaded. Following a strikeout, senior catcher Brooke Wilson (Coraopolis, Pa./West Allegheny) reached on a hit by pitch to load the bases before a ground-out ended the inning.

Cal U is set to return to action on Wednesday, April 13, against Clarion at Lilley Field, starting at 2:30 p.m.
