ERIE, Pa. – The No. 4 seed Penn State Altoona softball team stayed alive with a victory over No. 2 seed Pitt-Bradford to start day two of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Tournament on Friday, but the Lions were knocked out of the playoffs in their second game of the day, when they suffered a walkoff loss to No. 3 seed Mount Aloysius College.

The Lions (18-17) avoided elimination in their first matchup of the day, when they edged Pitt-Bradford (23-11) by a score of 4-3 to send the Panthers home. But Penn State Altoona was ousted from the tournament in its second game of the day, when Mount Aloysius (19-14) rallied for a 6-5, walkoff win.

Game One: Penn State Altoona 4, Pitt-Bradford 3

Tied 3-3 heading into the sixth inning, Penn State Altoona came up with the go-ahead run and held on for a tight win to stay alive in the tournament.

Cameryn Feathers (Martinsburg, PA/Central) went 2-for-2 with two home runs, three runs batted in, and a walk. Her pair of homers tie for the most home runs hit in a game in Penn State Altoona softball history.

Alyssa Fisher (Lock Haven, PA/Central Mountain) and Hanna Lauck (Bellefonte, PA/Bellefonte) each had a hit and a run scored, and Karli Storm (Chest Springs, PA/Cambria Heights) had a hit and an RBI.

Josselyn Nau (Bellefonte, PA/Bellefonte) tossed a complete game in the circle to record her ninth win of the season, going all seven innings and holding Pitt-Bradford to three runs.

Penn State Altoona scored two in the top of the first, helped by a long ball from Feathers. Fisher started the game with a base hit to right, and one batter later, Feathers hit her fourth home run of the season to give the Lions a 2-0 lead.

Pitt-Bradford got a run back in the bottom of the second, when Lexi Peters led off with a single and later scored on a double play ball to cut the Lions' advantage to 2-1.

Penn State Altoona got that run back with one swing of the bat in the next half inning, when Feathers' two-out solo shot to left center made it 3-1 in the top of the third. The homer was her team-leading fifth of the season.

The Panthers tied the score at 3-3 in the bottom of the third on Sara Stroup's two-run single to left, and that score stood up over the next two innings.

Penn State Altoona was able to come up a run in the top of the sixth to jump back into the lead. After reaching on a fielder's choice and stealing second, Lauck put herself in scoring position with two outs. Storm delivered a big hit to drive in Lauck, singling to center to put the Lions up 4-3.

The Lions worked around a pair of singles by Pitt-Bradford in the bottom of the sixth to put up a zero, and the Panthers threatened again in the seventh. With one out, back-to-back Penn State Altoona errors allowed Pitt-Bradford to put two runners aboard. But Nau and the Lions recorded the final two outs without allowing any damage, and Penn State Altoona escaped with the one-run victory.

Game Two: Mount Aloysius 6, Penn State Altoona 5

In a back-and-forth game, Mount Aloysius had the last word when it came from behind to win on a walkoff in the seventh. Penn State Altoona established leads of 2-0 and 5-3, and the Lions clung to a 5-4 advantage heading into the final inning. But the Mounties put two on the board in the bottom of the seventh to move on in the tournament and eliminate the Lions.

Penn State Altoona's offense clicked, as the Lions totaled 15 hits as a team, with five different batters recording a multi-hit game and eight different players finishing with at least one hit.

Feathers finished 3-for-4 with her sixth home run of the season, a double, three RBI, and two runs scored. Gianna Hoppel (Lewistown, PA/Mifflin County) also had a three-hit game, going 3-for-4 with one RBI.

Madison Sitarek (Sykesville, MD/Century), Madalyn Maynard (Towanda, PA/Towanda), and Nau also had one hit apiece for Penn State Altoona.

Nau made another start in the circle and was saddled with the loss while pitching a complete game. In 6 2/3 innings, the right-hander yielded four earned runs and recorded one strikeout.

At the conclusion of the game, Feathers and Nau were both selected to the AMCC All-Tournament team for their performances during the playoffs.

Penn State Altoona staked out a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Fisher led off with a triple to right and scored one batter later on Feathers' RBI single to shortstop. After a Lauck hit, Hoppel's RBI single up the middle drove in Feathers to give the Lions a two-run advantage.

Mount Aloysius grabbed the lead in the bottom of the third, when an Olivia Zeigler two-run double to right and a Whitney Cole sacrifice fly to left put the Mounties up, 3-2.

The Lions quickly worked their way back on top in the next half inning. With two outs, Colledge singled to left to put a runner on, and Feathers followed with a two-run homer to center to make it 4-3. Lauck sent one deep in the next at-bat, hitting a solo home run to left to extend her team's lead to 5-3.

The Mounties closed the gap to one in the fifth, when Grace Gardini's two-out RBI single to center cut the Lions' lead to 5-4.

Mount Aloysius completed its comeback in the bottom of the seventh. With one out, two singles put runners at first and second for the Mounties, and a fielding error in the next play allowed one run to score, tying the game at 5-5 and moving the go-ahead run to third base. After a strikeout made it two outs, Gardini legged out a walkoff, infield RBI single to shortstop to help Mount Aloysius to a 6-5 victory.
