Lehigh Valley’s Carpenter Cup softball team went 1-1 on Monday when they defeated Jersey Shore 2-0 and lost to Berks County/LL 7-2 at FDR Park in Philadelphia.

In its first game, Lehigh Valley and Jersey Shore were scoreless until Southern Lehigh’s Danielle Barnes hit a two-run home run. Whitehall’s Rachel Arner also scored after having walked.

Becahi’s Alexa Panuccio pitched the fourth inning, forcing two ground outs and a fly ball.

“I was feeling pretty good, and I knew I had a great defense behind me,” Panuccio said. “I just played my game and threw my pitches, just having confidence in my defense.”

In its second game, Lehigh Valley took a 2-0 lead in the first inning.

Becahi’s Jess Indelicato had a triple and scored on Arner’s single. Arner then scored on Nazareth’s Paige Arner’s ground out.

Berks County/LL tied the game in the second inning and took a one-run lead in the third. It was the sixth inning, however, that hurt Lehigh Valley when four runs scored for Berks.

“I think it was just one bad inning,” said Panuccio, who played center field and was 2 for 2 in the second game. “They had some great pitchers and good hitters who hit the ball well.”

Lehigh Valley will return to FDR Park on Wednesday when they will resume play in the double elimination tournament.

“I had a great time [on Monday],” Pannucio said. “It was fun playing with everyone. Everyone is a competitor, and no one ever gave up.”
