SALEM, VA (March 20, 2010) - Katie Lynch delivered a two-out, two-run single in the bottom of the seventh to give the Kutztown University softball team a 4-3 walk-off win over Fairmont State on Saturday afternoon at the Salem Invitational.

The Golden Bears moved to 18-8 overall with their second straight victory and 3-0 against Fairmount State this season.

Maria Isgro got things started in the seventh with a single and was moved to second on a sacrifice by Jennifer Stow. Maria Schiavo picked up her second hit of the game with a single then stole second to get in scoring position and set the stage for Lynch's heroics.

The offense also had key contributions from Brianna Knipe and Nicole Henninger. Knipe smacked her first home run of the season, while Henninger went 2-for-4 with a double.

Monica Glomb surrendered just one run on five hits, while striking out a season-high nine batters. Glomb improved her record to 3-3 on the season.

The Golden Bears put up a run in the first and sixth innings, while the Fighting Falcons added one in the fourth inning and two in the fifth.
