GLASSBORO, NJ – The Rowan softball team swept Rutgers-Camden, 1-0 in eight innings in the first game and 1-0 in the second.
 
In the eighth inning, catcher Korie Hague was placed on second base because of the international tie-breaker rule and was replaced by pinch runner Sam Marasheski.  Designated player Kelly Duffy moved Marasheski to third with a sacrifice bunt.  Right fielder Mariah Wysocki hit a single to left field, scoring Marasheski for the victory.
