Game 2 HTMLLINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. - Senior utility player
Roni Peters (Leonardtown H.S./Leonardtown, Md.) scored six runs and tallied seven runs batted in as Goldey-Beacom College (7-20) used a record-setting performance to sweep a non-conference doubleheader over Lincoln University (0-17) at the Lincoln University Softball Complex on Friday afternoon.
The Lightning, who posted their second doubleheader sweep of the season, broke a school record with a 26-0 five-inning victory over the Lions in the first game before posting a 19-2 triumph in a five-inning affair.
Led by Peters, the Lightning set a school record for runs scored in a game with their win in the first game. The Lightning broke the previous mark of 22 runs, which was posted in a 22-2 victory over Keystone College on Mar. 1, 2008.
Peters, who went three-for-five in the doubleheader sweep, became the Lightning's all-time leader in career triples by recording her 10th career triple. With three triples in the second game, she also matched the Goldey-Beacom College single-season record and has six triples this year.
