Box Score  
N. MYRTLE BEACH, S.C – The Colonels softball squad finished their first day of the Snowbird Classic with two victories after a come-from-behind walk-off victory versus Otterbein Monday afternoon.
 
The Colonels (2-2) fell behind after a two-run sixth by the Cardinals (3-1), but a lone Colonel run in the seventh forced an extra inning, where they found another run for the walk-off victory.
 
The bats of both squads remained quiet until the fourth inning, where senior Celine Podlesney (Hazle Twp., PA/Hazleton) singled in a run.  After Otterbein hit the board in the top of the fifth, Wilkes replied with an RBI from junior Britny Jumalon (Torrance, CA/Torrance) to take a 2-1 lead.  The Cardinals took a 3-2 lead after a two-run sixth, but the Colonels forced extras with an RBI triple from junior Jordyn Kondras (Willow Street, PA/Lampeter-Strasburg).
 
Senior Rachel Pritchard (Wilmington, DE/Concord) shut down the Cardinals in the top of the eighth, before sophomore Rhia Aurand's (Avondale, PA/Avon Grove) double in the bottom of the frame gave the Colonels a 4-3 victory on the afternoon.
 
Aurand batted 3-of-4 on the afternoon, while junior Haley Boyd (Escalon, CA/Escalon) made it to the bases in all three of her at-bats, going 2-for-2 and getting a walk.  Pritchard earned her first victory in the Navy and Gold, while Podlesney pitched six innings in the start.
 
The Colonels play another pair of squads tomorrow.  They play Cedar Crest at 9:30 a.m., then Hilbert at 1:30 p.m.  Wilkes is 1-0 against the former and is going to bat for the first time against Hilbert in the live stats era.
