The junior outfielder batted a .428 average over the past eight games including a grand slam home run in an 11-2 win over Missouri-St. Louis (5 innings). She doubled later that day in a loss to Slippery Rock for another extra-base hit.
Gearhart has 10 hits on the year to go with six RBI.

Wihelm pitched a perfect game no-hitter as Walsh crushed St. Augustine 21-0 in the second game of a doubleheader.
Wilhelm’s perfect game marks only the second in conference history, with the first coming from fellow Cavalier Olivia Pifer in the spring of 2018.
Wilhelm goes to 2-1 on the season with 11 innings pitched. The Cavaliers went 7-0 in North Carolina this week to improve to 10-3 on the season.
