Salem, VA -- Randolph College fell behind 2-0 after four innings and were unable to muster any offense the rest of the way as Eastern Mennonite University posted a 3-0 shutout win against the WildCats in their second game on Friday afternoon at the Moyer Complex.
With the loss Randolph is eliminated from the championship tournament and finish the season with a school record 19-15 overall mark. The eight ODAC wins during the regular season is also a school record.
The Royals struck for runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings on six hits and two errors by the WildCats. A solo home run from Nicole Wade capped the scoring for Eastern Mennonite in the fifth inning. Randolph was unable to capitalize on the offensive end leaving four runners on base during the contest. Teresa Dalton went 2-3 at the plate for Randolph, while Sarah Montgomery and Lindsay Cross each added a hit.
Dalton picked-up the loss going all seven innings in the circle allowing nine hits and two earned runs striking out three Royals. Misty Judd recorded the shutout win for EMU going seven innings allowing just four WildCat hits.
Randolph will look to return to the ODAC Tournament next season, as the WildCats return every player from this year's squad.
