Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Monmouth improved to 3-2 with two seventh-inning wins Tuesday in Clermont, Fla., flirting with a no-hitter in a 3-1 win over Emmanuel College in the day's opener and then scoring the winning run in the bottom of the seventh for an 8-7 win over Lancaster Bible College.
 
The Scots banged out seven hits against Emmanuel, but found themselves down 1-0 entering the seventh when Emmanuel scored without the aid of a hit in the fourth via a walk, ground out and wild pitch. Morgan Throop came off the bench in the top of the seventh and delivered a leadoff triple to set the stage for the late inning heroics. Throop later scored on a fielding error to knot the game at 1-1. Kaila Dunfee followed suit with a pinch hit RBI single and later scored on Kristyn Ozga's double to give the Scots a 3-1 advantage.
 
Entering the bottom of the seventh, the Scots were still entertaining thoughts of a no-hitter until Emmanuel broke up the no-hit bid, stroking their lone hit of the game with two outs. A walk ensued to bring the winning run to the plate before Liz Hippen fanned the final batter for the win.
 
Starting pitcher Kaylee Kurtz and relievers Kaila Dunfee and Hippen combined to toss a one-hitter while striking out eight and walking one.
 
The Scots banged out a dozen hits in a thrilling win over Lancaster Bible, but it was small ball that won the game.
 
Monmouth jumped out to a 3-0 first inning lead, but saw the lead evaporate when the Chargers rallied for four runs on just one hit in the top of the sixth to take a 7-6 lead.
 
The Scots got one run back in the bottom of the frame when Michaela Guthrie singled and then scored on an Ozga base hit.
 
Tied at 7-7 in the top of the seventh, Lancaster drew a leadoff walk and threatened to score on an extra base hit, but center fielder Angela Schaumburg gunned the runner down at the plate. Kurtz then induced a fly to left to send the game to the bottom  of the seventh where Schaumburg was the hero again.
 
Three straight singles loaded the bases for Schaumburg who drove in Johnna Schultz with the winning run on a suicide squeeze. The win was Monmouth's third one-run game this week.
