GLASSBORO, N.J. (April 19, 2016) – Junior designated player Ashley DeYoung (Oakland, NJ/Indian Hills) hit a pair of solo home runs, including a walk-off with one out in the seventh inning, to lead the No. 14-ranked Rowan University softball team to a 2-1 victory in the second game and a sweep over Rutgers University-Camden in a New Jersey Athletic Conference doubleheader here Tuesday.
 
Rowan, which won the opener, 7-0, improved to 27-7 overall and 10-2 in the NJAC, while Rutgers-Camden fell to 14-14 and 5-7.
 
The Scarlet Raptors return to action Thursday when they host Arcadia University in a 3 p.m. non-conference doubleheader.
   
In the opener, the Profs blew the game open with five runs in the bottom of the third inning on only two hits. The Scarlet Raptors helped their cause with two walks, a hit batsman, an error and a key fielder's choice where Rutgers-Camden failed to get an out that would have helped it escape with a scoreless frame. DeYoung had an RBI single to cap the frame.
 
Rowan added its final two runs in the third inning, sparked by a leadoff double by freshman second baseman Carly Anderson (Nutley, NJ/Nutley) and capped by an RBI single from freshman centerfielder Gianna Genello (West Caldwell, NJ/James Caldwell).
 
The Profs had four of their five hits off Raptor senior starter Brittany Scott (Buena, NJ/Buena Regional), who worked three innings, allowing seven runs (four earned) and three walks. Junior Abby Merryman (Washington Township, NJ/Gloucester Catholic) worked the final three scoreless innings for the Raptors, allowing one hit and one walk.
 
The Rutgers-Camden offense was held to three singles by a trio of Rowan pitchers, with senior Beth Ann Hyland (East Brunswick, NJ/East Brunswick) working the first four innings to earn the win. She allowed all three hits, while fanning five.
 
The Raptor hits were singles by Scott, Merryman and sophomore second baseman Taylor Nichols (Barrington, NJ/Haddon Heights).
   
Hyland (16-3) and Scott (11-10) both got the decisions in the nightcap as well, with DeYoung ending a pitcher's duel with a long blast to center field for her second homer of the game and 10th of the season.
 
Rutgers-Camden scored its lone run on a first-inning error after Merryman drew a one-out walk and advanced to second on a two-out single by senior third baseman Katie Larson (Delran, NJ/Delran). On a potential inning-ending grounder to short, the Profs went for the force at third base, but the throw was missed for an error by Rowan's third baseman, allowing Merryman to score.
 
Rowan tied the game in the third when DeYoung hit a one-out opposite-field home run down the right field line.
 
Scott, who relieved Merryman to work out of a first-inning jam, ended up working six innings, allowing two hits, one walk and the two earned runs. She struck out two.
 
Hyland hurled a two-hitter with one walk, five strikeouts and the unearned run. Larson's first-inning single and a fifth-inning single by junior shortstop Jalene Garcia (Vineland, NJ/Vineland) accounted for the lone Raptor hits.
