Game 1 | Game 2

SALISBURY, Md. - The Stevenson softball team trailed 4-0 after three innings to Mary Washington in the quarterfinals of the CAC Softball Championship before scoring the game's final six runs, including the game-winner on a single by sophomore Caitlin Kwedar (Hampstead/Delone) en route to a 6-4 victory Saturday at Salisbury.

The win was the 18th of the season for the Mustangs (18-14), leaving them one shy of the school record set in 2007, and their second in three meetings with the Eagles this season.

However, Stevenson's quest for its first-ever CAC championship appearance was cut short by York (Pa.) in the second game as Brittany Therres homered for the fourth time and picked up her third win in four games against the Mustangs this season in a 3-0 victory.

Two of Therres' four home runs have come against Stevenson as she also homered and earned the victory in Wednesday's 5-3 first round win.

Against Mary Washington (9-26-1), the Mustangs scored all six of their runs over the final four innings while senior Sarah Moelter (Timonium/Dulaney) and junior Julianne Roper (Baltimore/Western Tech) held the Eagles scoreless after they totaled four runs on seven hits over the first three.

The Mustangs got on the board in the fourth when junior Desirae Sullivan (Severna Park/Severna Park) led off the inning with her fifth home run of the season and her 33rd RBI, only five shy of the school's single-season record.

Stevenson tied the game with three runs in the fifth, highlighted by a two-run single from freshman Carianne Sullivan (Westminster/Westminster). Carianne then tied the game a wild pitch with two outs.

Kwedar's two-out single in the sixth gave the Mustangs' their first lead before an RBI single by Roper gave them some insurance in the top of the seventh.

The Eagles threatened to tie the game with runners on second and third with one out in the bottom of the seventh, but Roper worked her way out of the jam by retiring the next two batters, stranding both runners in scoring position.

Carianne Sullivan finished 3-for-3 with two RBIs while Desirae Sullivan was 2-for-3 and junior Jessica Bandzwolek (Fallston/Fallston) went 2-for-4 to extend her hitting streak to a season-high five games.

Roper scattered nine hits over two appearances and 7.2 innings Saturday after limiting the Spartans (33-7) to just two earned runs on seven hits in game two.

Stevenson has 10 more games before wrapping up the regular season, six of which are at home, including Wedensday's doubleheader with Penn State Berks at Weinberg-Fine Stadium beginning at 3:30 p.m.
