Vanyi Ties Single-Game Homer Mark In Doubleheader Loss to Cleveland State

   Canfield, Ohio -- Youngstown State freshman Rochelle Vanyi tied a single-game record with two home runs in a 6-2 loss in game two of a doubleheader sweep by Cleveland State on Tuesday afternoon at McCune Park. The Guins also lost the opener, 5-1.

    The Penguins fall to 6-24 overall and 2-11 in the Horizon League. Cleveland State improves to 20-9 overall and 8-2 in the league.

    Vanyi, who went 3-for-3, belted her seventh home run of the season to lead off the bottom of the first inning to put the Penguins ahead 1-0.

    After the Vikings to a 3-1 lead in the top of the second frame, Vanyi hit her second  solo blast - her eighth home run - in the bottom of the third inning to cut the deficit to 3-2.

    Cleveland State, however, answered with three more runs in the top of the fourth.

    In the opener, senior Becky Hibner turned in a gutsy complete-game performance but was the hard-luck loser. Hibner, who made just her third career appearance, scattered eight hits and allowed just three earned runs.

    Cleveland State's Amanda Macenko, who picked up the victory in both games, allowed just three hits, one a solo home run from senior McKenzie Bedra. 

    The Penguins visit Robert Morris, Thursday, April 17. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. in Moon Township, Pa.
