MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- The Lackawanna College softball team never got its offense on track on Sunday, dropping a pair of games to close out the Juco Jamboree at Patrick & Henry CC. The Falcons lost game one to CCBC Catonsville, 7-0, and then fell 9-1 in five innings to perennial powerhouse WVU Potomac State.
 
The Falcons (2-3) were plagued by errors against Catonsville, committing five all-together, and mustering just three hits against the Cardinals. Lackawanna also wasn't helped by surrendering ten walks as a pitching staff in the game, giving Catonsville plenty of chances to score. A bases loaded walk opened the scoring in the first inning, then two straight passed balls and a line-drive RBI single in the second made it 4-0, Cards. A two-run single in the third furthered the deficit to 6-0, and Catonsville added an RBI-double in the fifth inning to round off the scoring.
 
The best chance in game one came when Lackawanna put two on with one out in the top of the fourth, trailing 6-0, but a fly out, followed by a strikeout looking, ended the threat. Lackawanna got a one-out walk in the top of the seventh, but couldn't get anywhere, and lined out to the pitcher to end the game.
 
Madison Maloney (Sophomore; Scranton, PA) and Paige Pieper (First Year; Middleton, ID) were the only Falcons players to register hits on the day. Lackawanna drew only two walks, and struck out seven times. Allyson Lemerise (Sophomore; Catonsville, MD) was tagged with the loss, giving up four runs, just one earned, on two hits and five walks in two innings pitched.
 
The offense faired only marginally better in game two, as the Falcons jumped out to a 1-0 lead early on the Catamounts from Potomac. Maloney drew a leadoff walk, Emmalee Mowery (First Year; Mechanicsburg, PA) singled, and Morgan McVicar (First Year; Blakely, PA) walked to load the bases with nobody out in the first inning. An Emilee Dickinson (Sophomore; Hillsboro, OR) sac fly to right scored Maloney, but back-to-back strikeouts stranded the remaining two runners.
 
Starting pitcher Alivia Graber (Sophomore; North Syracuse, NY) danced in and out of trouble through the first two innings, but Potomac eventually took hold, hitting back-to-back one-out homeruns to take a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the third. The Catamounts later had runners on second and third with two away, and crushed a two-run double that ran the advantage up to 4-1, before a groundout ended the threat.
 
Potomac added three more runs, two coming on another homer, in the fourth inning, and then an RBI triple to walk things off in the bottom of the fifth with one out. Lackawanna could only get one hit the rest of the way after the first inning.
 
Mowery finished 1-for-2 with a walk, Dickinson picked up the RBI, and Maloney was 0-for-2 with the run scored and a walk. Aria Reyes (Sophomore; Allentown, PA) was 1-for-2. Graber went three innings, giving up four runs on five hits and walking four, in a losing effort.
 
Lackawanna has a week off before it gets back to action with its annual trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for the Fastpitch Dreams Spring Classic. The Falcons will take on Erie Community College on Sunday, March 3^rd, at 9:00am ET, and will then turn around and take on Glen Oaks CC at 1:00pm ET the same day.
