Kissimmee, FL – Lehigh split a pair of games on Monday at the Rebel Spring Games in Florida.

The Mountain Hawks then dropped the nightcap, mustering only five hits in a 2-1 loss to Toledo. With the split the Mountain Hawks now stand at 5-3 on the season.

In the day’s opener against Penn, Lehigh spotted the Quakers a 2-0 lead early on. The Mountain Hawks got one run back in the fourth when Julie Sterrett singled home Mary Wieder. Two innings later Lehigh would take the lead for good. A Mendy Martin fielder’s choice scored Kelly Kliewer to tie the game, and then Kate Arico drove in two more with a RBI single. Arico went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI’s for the Brown and White, while Sterrett picked up three hits and drove in two runs. Stefanie Forlenza struck out five in five and a third innings to get the win, while Heather Hamasaki wrapped things up to pick up her first save.
