Looking to avenge a 7-5 loss to Villanova (13-18-1) Wednesday afternoon, Penn took the Wildcats eight innings to a 2-2 tie in the back-end of a double header before the umpires called off the remainder of the late game at Warren Field.
Despite giving up 11 hits, pitcher Cailyn Hennessy allowed just two earned runs in game two, striking out three. Third baseman Kayla Dahlerbruch scored one run on a Justine Payne double and plated another with a two-bagger of her own.
In game one, the Quakers (10-12-1) squandered a 5-0 fifth-inning lead as reliever Lindsay Mann was charged with the loss, as the tying and winning runs scored on a wild pitch and error by the pitcher.
