Softball vs Wilmington Postponed Due to Rain
WEST CHESTER, Pa.- The West Chester University softball doubleheader vs Wilmington has been postponed due to rain.
The first game of the doubleheader began at 2 p.m. and completed 2.5 innings before the rains intensified and led to play being suspended and the remainder of the day being postponed. A resumption date/make-up date has yet to be announced.
West Chester trails 1-0 in the bottom of the third in game one as Wilmington scored its first run of the game in the top of the third after a leadoff double by Hailey Downin and an RBI single up the middle by Julia Thuer.
Makenzie Edwards (Atco, N.J./Hammonton) got the start for West Chester and allowed just that one run on three hits, while striking out two.
