The Pitt-Bradford women’s softball team set a record for most
wins in a season with a doubleheader sweep of Frostburg State on
Sunday at Frostburg, Md.

The Lady Panthers won 1-0 in the first game and notched an 8-0
five-inning win in the nightcap.

UPB is now 28-4 overall and 13-1 in the AMCC. They have won 17
consecutive games.

Kristy Zavinski earned the mound win in the opener, throwing a
three-hitter, fanning one and walking none.

Catrina Retterer doubled for the Lady Panthers. Brittany McLean
scored the game’s only run on an error.

Mallory Kane fired a one-hitter in the second game.

Michelle Kushner (2-for-2, 3 RBIs, double), McLean (two doubles,
RBI) and Keelan Holt (2-for-2, 2 RBIs) led UPB at the plate.

“Mallory pitched really well,” UPB coach Tina Phillips said.
“The defense was great. The kids are playing well.”

On Saturday, Pitt-Bradford posted wins of 7-2, 6-0 against
Pitt-Greensburg at Kessel Field.

Zavinski was the star of the first game as the junior
right-hander from Warren allowed no earned runs over seven innings
and was 4-for-4 with an RBI at the plate.

“She (Zavinski) is a good contact hitter and on the mound she
was effective as usual,” said Phillips.

The Lady Panthers broke open a 2-1 contest in the fifth when
McLean’s sixth home run of the year plated three runs.

Kane earned the mound win in the second game. Kane had a
four-hit, nine-strikeout performance.

“Mallory (Kane) pitched well,” Phillips stated. “We played well
in both games.”

Pitt-Bradford scored one run in the third, one in the fourth,
two in the fifth and another pair in the sixth. A suicide squeeze
by LeeAnn Kramer in the third, an RBI triple by McLean in the fifth
and a run-producing single from Nicole Fries in the sixth were the
key blows.

McLean plated five runs in Saturday’s doubleheader.
