Hawks Halve Doubleheader Against Saint Rose

ALBANY, N.Y. – The Saint Anselm College softball team split Sunday afternoon's doubleheader against the Golden Knights of the College of Saint Rose at Haker Field.  Following today's action, the Hawks sport a 15-23 overall record alongside a 9-13 Northeast-10 Conference record.  The Golden Knights are 12-15 overall alongside an 8-15 record within league play.

In the first game of Sunday's doubleheader, the Hawks scored 10 runs as Saint Anselm defeated the Golden Knights by a 10-1 score in five innings of work.  Saint Anselm never trailed in the opening game, striking first in the visiting half of the third inning.  An infield single by catcher Lauren Galavotti (Marion, Mass.) plated left fielder Mary Fay (Stoughton, Mass.) for the first run of the game for either side.  An RBI groundout by right fielder Kristen Peffer (Cumberland, R.I.) scored the second run of the inning for the Hawks.

The Hawks exploded for four runs in the visiting half of the fourth inning, sparked by a solo home run by second baseman Kat Scafidi (Hudson, N.H.) to initiate the scoring.  Shortstop Nicole Boucher (Woonsocket, R.I.) singled to center field and then later stole second base.  Center fielder Monique Gauthier (Canton, Conn.) slapped an RBI double to right field, driving in Boucher with the third run of the game.  Galavotti's second RBI single of the game drove home Gauthier with the second run of the inning while the final run of the inning was scored following a double steal attempt with Galavotti and Peffer.

Saint Rose was able to muster their lone run of the game in the home half of the fourth inning as infielder Rachel Reed reached base safely following an error by third baseman Hannah Byrne (Lynn, Mass.) to plate fellow infielder Jessica Butterbrodt with the lone run of the afternoon for Saint Rose.

The final offensive outburst of the first game came in the Saint Anselm half of the fifth inning as designated player Cara Crowley (Lynn, Mass.) led off the inning with a single.  The Golden Knights defense allowed two consecutive errors after Crowley's single as Byrne and first baseman Olivia Story (Middleton, Mass.) and loaded the bases.  Scafidi lofted a sacrifice fly to plate Byrne and an ensuing triple by Boucher plated Fay and Story and the Hawks continued to build upon their lead.

Pitcher Alexis Bogdanovich (South Portland, Maine) collected her sixth victory of the season, allowing only one unearned run while striking out three batters in five innings of work.  Senior hurler Sarah Arbogast drew her 11th loss of the season, allowing seven runs through four innings before yielding to freshman Lauren Sputo who allowed three earned runs while recording only two outs.

The Hawks dropped the final game of the afternoon by a 3-1 score.  Both teams took a scoreless game into the fifth inning where Saint Anselm struck first.  With two outs in the inning, Boucher tripled to right center field and was later driven in by Gauthier with the first run of the game for either side.

In the Saint Rose half of the sixth inning, Hawks pitcher Tayla Trask (Lincoln, Maine) allowed two consecutive singles to open the frame.  With two on, Reed reached on an error by Trask to load the bases.  Second baseman Kayla Kuilema drew a bases-loaded walk to plate the first run of the afternoon for Saint Rose.  The very next batter, Val Nelson, smacked a two-RBI single that granted Saint Rose the lead.

Trask drew her sixth loss of the season despite not allowing any earned runs on her six inning pitching line.  Courtney Galuski collected her third victory of the season, allowing one earned run in a complete game effort.

NOTABLES: On the day, the Hawks hit at a .313 (15-for-48) clip as opposed to the Golden Knights' .154 batting average (6-for-39)…Shortstop Nicole Boucher led the team with four hits, including two triples on the afternoon…Both Hawks pitchers did not allow an earned run this afternoon.
