Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 IMMACULATA, Pa.- The Mighty Mac softball team (24-14, 17-5 CSAC) won their sixth and seventh consecutive games on Saturday afternoon to close out their regular season with a Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) sweep of Rosemont, both by scores of 8-0.
 
Dating back to yesterday, the Macs have only allowed one run in the past four games, and have now thrown three consecutive shutouts.  They have clinched no worse than the third seed in the upcoming CSAC postseason, their 10^th straight, and they can move up to the two-seed and receive a bye to the double-elimination part of the tournament if Gwynedd Mercy sweeps Cabrini tomorrow.  If not, the Macs will be the third seed and will host the sixth seed on Wednesday.
 
In the first game, freshmen Emma Bischoff and Renee DeAngelis combined on a four hit shutout with eight strikeouts, while freshman Keani Hindle hit her fifth home run of the season, a grand slam in the third.  In the second game, junior Jessica Bormann tossed six shutout innings allowing just one hit and three strikeouts, and sophomore Michaela Petito finished off the day with a scoreless frame, while sophomore Ashley Rey continued her monster season with her third grand slam and ninth home run overall.
