Indianapolis, Ind. - The Marian softball team swept Bethel (Ind.) at home Saturday afternoon. After the pair of wins, Marian advanced to 17-2 overall on the season and 9-1 in the Crossroads League.

Game 1 | Marian 8-1 Bethel
Marian got off to an early lead with Ally Malone walking with bases loaded to score Delaney Rundle. Lily Wendt was able to follow up in the next at bat, grounding out to shortstop to score Abby Madere on the play, increasing the lead 2-0. After keeping Bethel scoreless in the first inning, Madere was able to strike again, grounding out to second, scoring Abbey Hofmann, extending the Knights' lead. 

In the top of the third, the Pilots were able to strike with a sacrifice fly to center field and score the runner, bringing Marian's lead back down to two. The Knights followed up in the bottom of the fourth with a two-run home run from Madere to score Hofmann and increase the lead 5-1.

After a dry fifth inning for both sides, Marian was able to strike for the final time in game one with a single from Malone scoring Rundle. Jaelyn Phillips was able to quickly follow up with a scoring on a growing error by the catcher. Ella Piercy extended the lead, singling in Malone, increasing the margin to seven. After three quick outs from the pilots at the top of the seventh, Marian was able to record the 8-1 win in game one.

Abbey Hofmann led the way, going 3-4 from the plate, while Abby Madere went 2-3 from the plate with three RBIs. Ally Malone also went 2-3 from the plate, tallying one RBI. Macy Coan took the win, improving to 6-0 on the year. Coan struck out three batters and gave up 6 hits.

Game 2 | Marian 6-3 Bethel
