COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. - The Ursinus Bears softball team hosted Haverford for a Centennial Conference doubleheader on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon at the Snell Softball Field.
 
 
The Bears and Fords played a wild game one that went into extra innings to start the doubleheader. Haverford built a 12-3 lead through 4 1/2 innings and were a strike away from ending the game via run rule before a single from senior Riley Coneeny kept the game going with a single after a foul ball just slipped out of the Fords third baseman's glove in foul territory against the foul. Senior Keelie Hanock roped a double into left field to score two runs and send the game to the sixth down 12-5. The Bears rally continued in the bottom of the sixth when the first three batters reached and first-year Tierney Stuempfle singled in the Bears sixth run. Ursinus loaded the bases with one out and pushed across a seventh run on a bases loaded walk before a single from Coneeny made it 12-8. Hancock kept the line moving with an RBI single and junior Leah Bonsignore brought the Bears within 12-10 following an RBI single from herself. Haverford escaped a bases loaded one out jam without further damage but stranded a runner on third base with one out in the top of the seventh. Senior Kayla Carr led off the bottom of the seventh with a double and advanced to third on a ground out. Down to their last strike again, first-year Nina Davidson singled in Carr to make it 12-11 and advanced to second after a single from Coneeny. Hancock laced a double down the left field line that stunningly tied the game at 12 and left runners on second and third base with two outs. However, a strikeout forced extras and the Fords scored three runs to go up 15-12. Carr singled in a run in the bottom of the eighth that made it 15-13 before the final out was recorded. In game two, Haverford scored six runs all with two outs in the top of the sixth to go up 6-0 before the game was ended after the bottom half of the inning due to darkness.
 
 
Hancock, Stuempfle, and Coneeny all tallied three hits in game one while Hancock had a game-high four RBI's.
