Skylar Hein hit a double and a home run to lead the St. Lawrence University softball team, but the Saints dropped a pair of Liberty League games to Union by 5-1 and 5-3 scores in Schenectady on Saturday.
 
Hein now has 11 doubles in 27 games this season, which matches her career high, set in the 2019 season, when the Saints played 34 games. Her 31 career doubles ranks third on the Saints' all-time list, two behind Elle Gray '19 and 11 behind St. Lawrence Hall of Famer Michelle Circelli '03, despite playing in just three seasons.
 
She now has six career home runs, which is tied for ninth on the Saints' all-time list.
 
St. Lawrence fell to 5-22 overall and 5-19 in the Liberty League, while Union improved to 8-18 and 6-6. The Saints will wrap up the season with two more games against the Dutchwomen on Sunday at Saints Softball Field, with opening pitch in the first game scheduled for 1 p.m.
