Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Lock Haven's Sarah Morse proved to be Clarion's kryptonite Saturday afternoon shutting down a seventh-inning rally in Game One and then tossing a no-hitter in Game Two to held the Lady Eagles sweep a PSAC Central doubleheader from the visiting Golden Eagles by scores on 8-6 and 4-0.  
 
In the first game, the Golden Eagles trailed 8-4 heading to the top of the seventh before freshman catcher Megan Anderson belted her first career home run following a Kirsten Wilcox inning-opening single to get Clarion within two, 8-6.
 
That home run drove Lock Haven starter and winner Brianna Jennings from the game and brought on Morse.
 
The first batter to face Morse, Amanda Gough, drew a walk before Taylor Powell lined out to shortstop. Nicole Lindner then drew another walked before Kacie Nemeth, who had an RBI double an inning earlier, hit into a game-ending double play.
 
Clarion struck first in the game with a pair of runs in the top of the first thanks to an RBI double by Gough, who had three hits, and a run-producing groundout by Powell.
 
But Lock Haven touched up Clarion starter and loser Jessica Rohaus for five runs over the first three innings including a three-run second to take a 5-1 lead. The Lady Eagles then tacked on three more off Rohaus, who allowed eight earned runs on nine hits and four walks in 4 2/3 innings, in the fifth to take an 8-1 lead.
 
The Golden Eagles, though, rallied to make things interesting scoring twice in the sixth on Nemeth's run-scoring double and Taylor Sherry's sacrifice fly before Anderson connected on the two-run blast in the seventh.
 
Clarion outhit Lock Haven 10-9 in the game with Gough going 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles, a run scored and an RBI. The senior shortstop has hit safely in 12 of her last 14 games and in 15 of 19 of her games on the year with 10 multiple-hit games including a pair of three-hit contests.
 
Anderson was also 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBIs in the contest, while Wilcox was 2-for-4 with a run scored.
 
In the second game, Clarion managed just two base runners – an Anderson walk in the first and Lindner reaching on an error in the second, as Morse retired the final 16 Golden Eagle batters to complete the no hitter.
 
Lock Haven scored all it needed in the first inning when it scored a run and added an unearned run in the third thanks to a passed ball before finishing off the scoring with two in the fifth.
 
Julie Sokol took the loss for Clarion going six innings allowing the four runs, three earned, on eight hits and a walk while striking out two.
 
Clarion is now 3-19 overall, 0-10 PSAC Central while Lock Haven advanced to 26-8 (9-1).
 
The Golden Eagles are back in action when they host Mansfield in a doubleheader starting at 1 p.m. Sunday.
