WEST POINT, N.Y.. -- Army claimed both ends of the season's final Patriot League doubleheader, winning 6-2 and 6-1 on Saturday afternoon.

In the first game, a five-run second inning proved the Leopards' undoing, as starting pitcher Kristyn Marinelli never made it out of the inning.

The Black Knights led 1-0 after the first and sent 13 batters to the plate in decisive second inning. Maddie Kim hit a two-run home run and Kasey McCravey doubled in two more runners before Bryn Gornick came on in relief of Marinelli (1.1 IP, 7H, 5 ER) and ended the inning with a 6-0 deficit.

The Leopards and Gornick held Army scoreless for the rest of the game. Gornick scattered four hits in 4.2 innings against the 20 batters she faced.

In the sixth, Lafayette pushed across two runs on Samantha Sweigart's third home run of the season. With pinch runner Jenna Didio aboard, Sweigart pulled an Aja Brechtel offering over the wall in left centerfield. Three of the Leopards' four hits in the game came in the sixth inning.

In game two, Army broke a scoreless tie with three runs in the fourth inning to claim an eventual 6-1 final.

Lafayette put its first runner of the game on base in the fourth when Sweigart led off with a single through the left side. Jenna Orlando sacrificed Sweigart to second, but the Leopards stranded her.

The hosts scored three runs in the bottom of the inning, the first on a sac fly, and two more on a fielding error with two outs in the inning. Army added two additional runs in the fifth on a McCravey double and another run on an illegal pitch.

Trailing 6-0 entering the seventh, the Leopards got on the scoreboard. Stephanie Thomas singled and Maddie Wensel followed with a double to put runners on second and third with no outs. Didio's (2-for-3) infield single plated Thomas, but that was all the offense Lafayette could muster in the final at bat.

Stacy Gordon (4-8) took the loss, allowed three earned runs on six hits over four innings. Renee Poirer (9-5) struck out six and allowed one run on six hits in the win.

Lafayette (12-32, 2-15) winds up the Army series on Sunday at 1 p.m.
