CLEARWATER, FLA. -- With a fifth-inning, two-run homer, Drake senior infielder Elena Leon (West Des Moines, Iowa) broke the school's all-time home run mark and helped the Bulldogs to a 4-0 softball victory over Boston College Saturday at the USF Under Armour Invitational. Drake dropped a 6-5 decision to Pittsburgh to close its Saturday schedule.

The shot was the 26th of Leon's career, breaking Katie Shimon's previous career mark of 25.

Leon's homer doubled Drake's two-run cushion to four in the fifth inning against Boston College.

Leon went one-for-two and scored two runs in Drake's 6-5 loss to Pittsburgh. The Panthers scored six unearned runs in the second and staved off a patient Drake rally that spanned three separate innings but came up one run short in the end. The Bulldogs scored two runs in the first, one in the third off a solo home run by Freshman Lindsey Vande Wall (Prairie City, Iowa), and two more in sixth on a two-run double by senior Erin Bly (Frankfort, Ill.).

Vande Wall's homer was her third of the season

Junior pitcher Brynne Dordel (Chanhassen, Minn.) took the hard-luck loss after allowing all six unearned runs along with five hits and four walks over five innings of work. Junior Jenna DeLong (Dalton Gardens, Idaho) entered in the sixth and struck out the side after allowing a leadoff walk. Dordel's record stands at 5-3 on the season.

The Bulldogs meet New Mexico State and Long Island, Sunday. Game times are 10:15 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. central, respectively.
