YOUNGSVILLE — Youngsville picked up its fourth win of the season Tuesday with a 12-2 six-inning victory over the visiting Mercyhurst Prep Lakers.

The Eagles were able to pull ahead early when Alyssa Gentz singled and eventually scored on Hailey Gray’s RBI single to start the scoring.

The lead grew to four in the second when Kamden Swearingen and Kennedy Allen both reached base to start the inning. Alyssa Goss followed with an RBI single while Allen and Goss would both score on Gray’s second and third RBI of the afternoon soon after.

Youngsville added a fifth run in the third as well as three more in the fourth inning. In the fourth, Gentz, Gray and Rectenwald all singled and scored with Swearingen also adding an RBI hit in the inning.

The Eagles scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to close out the game via the mercy rule. Paige Stover roped a double down the left field line to start the inning and Gray walked before a two-run triple from Ireland Abraham. Rectenwald delivered an RBI hit to plate Abraham and the game ended when Allen smacked a double that scored Rectenwald.

Gray finished the day 3 for 3 at the plate with two runs scored and four RBI. Rectenwald added three hits and three runs and Swearingen and Gentz also had multi-hit games. Swearingen got the win pitching six innings and striking out 10 while allowing just one earned run on three hits.
