KISSIMMEE, Fla. – McDaniel won the opener in the bottom of the seventh and carried that momentum to a sweep at the Sunkissed Classic in softball action on Monday.

Alicia Wagner (Bradenton, Fla./Lakewood Ranch) was hit by a pitch before Haley Michael (Oldsmar, Fla./East Lake) pushed a perfect bunt or a base hit to load the bases with no outs.

With one out, Scardina dropped a ball into shallow right field to score Lewis with the game-winning run.

Diana King led off the first with a walk before stealing second and taking third on a sacrifice bunt. She then scored on a Caroline Saccacio sacrifice fly for a 1-0 lead.

Maryanna Lynch (Newark, Del./Archmere Academy) led off the bottom of the frame with a double off the fence in the left-field corner.

Tayler Hishon (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas) followed with a double of her own to tie the game.

After three walks loaded the bases with two outs in the second, King rapped a two-run single for a 3-1 lead.

Michaela Persinger (Emmitsburg, Md./Cotoctin) roped a one-out double through the right side before Lynch drew a two-out walk.

Hishon was hit by a pitch to load the bases before a throwing error allowed Persinger and Lynch to both score and tie the game once again.

NYU plated single runs in the third and fourth innings before Lewis and Wagner led off the home fifth with back-to-back singles.

Persinger was hit by a pitch to load the bases before Scardina drove a ball through the left side to plate the tying runs.

Persinger and Tori Wilkins (Lutz, Fla./Land O'Lakes) each had two hits. Fiona Johnson (Derwood, Md./Magruder) pitched five innings in relief, striking out three and allowing two hits for the win.

Hishon blasted a one-out 1-1 pitch over the left-field fence in the top of the first inning against the Knights (1-4) to stake the Green Terror to a 1-0 lead.

A Carly Deichman (Easton, Pa./Freedom) two-run home run stretched the lead to 5-1.

Three walks and singles from Scardina and Wilkins pushed the lead to 7-1.

Three singles, including a RBI knock up the middle by Courtney Skolka made it a 7-2 game in the bottom of the fifth.
