Mindy Bean paced the Tigers (15-9) with three hits, three runs scored and seven RBIs in the twinbill and Stef Streets added two hits, three runs scored and two RBIs on the afternoon.

In the opening game, Towson scored the final nine runs to come-from-behind for a 10-2 victory.

Trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the third, the Tigers scored eight runs to take the lead it would not relinquish.

Emily Gould started the eight-run rally with a homer to left field before Joyce Delp gave Towson the lead for good on a groundout to first for a 3-2 margin. Meaghan Clark then smacked a two-run homer down the line before Bean drilled a grand slam down the left field line to cap the stanza. Towson added a run in the fifth on an Erika Stasch RBI infield single for a 10-2 advantage.

Mount St. Mary's grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the first inning. Beebe opened the game with a walk and came around to score on Beth Everist's (Lansdale, Pa./North Penn) single through the left side.

The Tigers tied the game at 1 in the second on a Marybeth Herrick sacrifice fly.

The Mount regained the one-run lead in the third. Beebe doubled down the right field line for her 10th double of the year and scored on a pass ball for a 2-1 margin. Towson then scored the final nine runs to come away with the victory.

In the nightcap, the Tigers jumped out to a 15-0 advantage and went on for a 16-5 decision.

Gould gave Towson a 1-0 lead on a run-scoring double down the right field line in the first before Bean plated the squad's second run on a RBI single through the right side in the second.

Aided by five errors, the Tigers scored 13 runs on 10 hits in the third to take a 15-0 advantage.

The Mountaineers scored two runs in the fourth to get on the scoreboard. Allie Vadas (Spring Lake Heights, N.J./Manasquan) and Ashley Lodato (Brick, N.J./Ranney) walked to start the stanza and came around to score after Curreri reached on a fielding error to trim the margin to 15-2.
