Pittsburgh, Pa. -- Freshman Rochelle Vanyi broke the Youngstown State single-season home run record with her 11th of the season in game one and senior McKenzie Bedra tied the mark in game two but the Penguins softball team dropped a doubleheader to Pittsburgh, 11-3, 8-2, on Tuesday afternoon.

    The Penguins fall to 11-33 while the Panthers improve to 29-20.

    In the opener, Vanyi went 3-for-4 and hit a solo home run in the top of the third inning to bring the Guins within two, 3-1.

    In the top of the fifth and trailing 4-1, a single by Kristin Bair and a sacrifice fly by Katy Potokar cut the deficit to 4-3.

    Pitt, however, scored four in the bottom half of the fifth and three more in the sixth to enforce the mercy rule.

    In the nightcap, Bedra's two-run blast put the Penguins up 2-0 but the Guins would not score again.

    YSU closes out the regular season with a three-game series against Green Bay, May 3-4, in Green Bay, Wis.
