COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – The Ursinus softball team split its non-conference doubleheader with Elizabethtown on Thursday afternoon in non-conference action.
After the Blue Jays won game one 11-1 in six innings, they initially picked up where they left off by going up 2-0 off a two-run home run in the top of the first. Elizabethtown seemed poised to add to its lead with runners on first and third base before a pair of popups ended the threat. Ursinus responded with three runs off four hits and two errors to go up 3-2 in the bottom of the first. Senior

Elizabethtown got a run back in the top of the fourth off a sacrifice fly behind a pair of errors after eight straight batters were retired. The Bears put runners on second and third with no outs in the bottom of the fifth and loaded the bases with one out but were unable to push a run across. Carr threw out a Blue Jays runner trying to steal second in the top of the sixth and sophomore pitcher
