Former Corry standout Alexandra Puckly pitched a shutout in the second game of a PSAC West doubleheader to help the Mercyhurst softball team secure a split with rival Gannon Tuesday at Gannon University Field.
Puckly, backed by the Lakers’ solid defensive effort, pitched a six-hitter with three strikeouts and one walk on the way to a 1-0 win in Game 2. The junior right-hander improved to a 4-3 on the season with a 3.88 ERA as Mercyhurst moved to 7-13 overall and 1-3 in the PSAC West.
Gannon won the first game 2-1 in 11 innings when Kirstie Cortazzo drove in the winning run with a single for the Golden Knights (8-8, 1-1).
