Randolph, NJ -

Mercer softball's season came to an end following a 6-8 loss to Region 19 Tournament host Morris.  The loss was the second for the Vikings in the double elimination tournament, as they lost 1-7 to Del Tech Owens late Saturday to send them into an elimination game.  Freshman Casey Murphy (Hillsborough, NJ/Hillsborough) went 2 for 3 with a triple and 4 RBIs and freshman Haley Leonhauser (Ringoes, NJ/Hunterdon Central) added an RBI in the loss.  The Vikings were down 8-2 headed into the bottom of the seventh inning and rallied to score four runs in the inning.  The Vikings had bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the seventh before a fly out ended the Mercer rally and their season.  The Vikings finish the season 24-11.
