APRIL 6, 2004 BOB ZIADIE KING'S SOFTBALL SWEEPS PAC CHAMPION CABRINI TO POST NINTH STRAIGHT 20-WIN SEASON WILKES-BARRE -- The King's College softball team improved to 20-4 on the year as the Lady Monarchs belted nine extra-base hits in a doubleheader sweep of defending Pennsylvania Athletic Conference champion Cabrini College Tuesday at Betzler Fields. King's won the first game 8-4 before capturing the nightcap 4-2. In the process, the Lady Monarchs have won at least 20 games for the ninth straight season. In the first game, King's trailed 3-2 in the fourth before the Lady Monarchs would rally. Christen Piccola would reach base on a fielder's choice and scored on a triple from Kelley Vaxmonsky. Linda Manarchuck would deliver an RBI single and promptly stole second base. Maria Zangardi drove in Manarchuck with a base hit to give King's a 5-3 lead. King's added three more runs in the sixth when Piccola walked and later scored on an RBI single from Zangardi. Stacey Preambo would then follow with a two-run home run, her seventh of the season, to put the Lady Monarchs on top 8-3. Genewski picked up the pitching win, allowing eight hits and four runs, two which were earned. Zangardi went 3-for-4 with two RBI while Preambo was 2-for-4 with three RBI. In the nightcap, the Lady Monarchs scored two runs in the first inning when Vaxmonsky walked and scored on a Zangardi triple. Preambo would then bring Zangardi home with an infield ground out. After Cabrini scored a run in the third, the Lady Monarchs answered when Manarchuck walked, stole second base, and scored on a triple by Preambo. Cabrini would score another run in the fifth, but King's would again respond with a run of their own. Piccola would reach base on an error and moved to second on a bunt from Vaxmonsky. Zangardi would then deliver an RBI double to give the Lady Monarchs a 4-2 lead. Megan Adams would pick up the win for King's, allowing both runs and eight hits. Nikki Kotula registered the save, tossing three scoreless innings and striking out five batters. Zangardi was 2-for-3 with two RBI to pace King's offensively. The Lady Monarchs will be idle until April 13 when King's hosts Delaware Valley College at 3:00 p.m. at Betzler Fields
