FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Nazareth closed out its spring softball trip Friday with a pair of tough one-run defeats in non-conference action.

Then in the second game, Nichols rallied for single runs in the sixth and seventh innings for a 3-2 victory.

The first game was a pitcher's dual between Nazareth's Nicole White and Pitt-Bradford's Sydney Mosby. White allowed only one unearned run on two hits while striking out four. Mosby gained the win by yielding just three hits and striking out four.

Pitt-Bradford's Brianna Stenta scored the only run in the top of the eighth inning as she scored from third on a bunt by pinch hitter Meagan Hillard.

Maureen Rogers and Sophia Rhoades each had singles.

In the second game, Nichols scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning off Nazareth starter Danae Wetherbee, who finished with four strikeouts.
