Hawks and Greyhounds Trade Wins in NE10 Doubleheader

WORCESTER, Mass.  – The Saint Anselm College softball team split a pair of Northeast 10 Conference games at Marois Field at Assumption University, falling 9-8 in 10 innings in the first game, before winning the second game, 7-4, on Thursday.

Game 1: Assumption 9 (7-11, 2-1 NE10), Saint Anselm 8 (9-10, 1-2 NE10) - 10 inn.
 
Highlights 
  • Saint Anselm drops to 44-56 all-time against Assumption, and the Hawks fall to 9-10 on the year with a 1-2 mark in NE10 play.
  • Senior Brooke Tardugno went 3-5 with a double, two singles, three runs scored, and a stolen base.
  • Junior Caitlyn Duquette drove in two runs, recording two hits and a run scored.
  • Senior Rose Reitmeyer went 1-4, recording a single, a walk, and a run batted in.
  • Sophomore Alexa Salafia had a 1-3 day at the plate, scoring once and recording a walk.
  • Salafia also pitched the final 5.2 innings, picking up the loss as she falls to 1-3, allowing eight hits and three earned runs.
  • Junior Kendra Lee made her ninth start of the season, allowing three hits, six walks, and three earned runs in four innings pitched.
How it Happened
The Greyhounds had two singles and drew two walks in the first inning, ending the frame with a 3-0 lead.
 
Tardugno and Reitmeyer rattled off back-to-back hits to get the Hawks on the board in the top of the fourth as Saint Anselm trailed 3-1. The Hawks' offense exploded for five runs in the fifth, all coming with two outs, as Saint Anselm used four singles and four walks to take a 6-3 lead.
 
Assumption had a quick response, scoring a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth to make it a one-run game, 6-5. After a single and a stolen base from Tardugno, the senior speedster came around to score on a throwing error as the Hawks led by two, 7-5, going into the bottom of the sixth.
 
With runners on first and second and two outs in the sixth, Assumption had both runners come across to tie the score at 7-7 after a misplay in right field by the Hawks. Both teams failed to score in the seventh as they went to extra innings, and the next run didn't come until a sacrifice fly from Wotkowicz put Saint Anselm up 8-7 in the top of the tenth.
 
An RBI single early in the bottom of the 10th plated the automatic base runner to tie the score at 8-8 for the Greyhounds, and Assumption was able to walk it off with another single followed by a throwing error that allowed the winning run to score.

Game 2: Saint Anselm 7 (10-10, 2-2 NE10), Assumption 4 (7-12, 2-2 NE10)
 
Highlights 
  • Saint Anselm improves to 45-56 all-time against Assumption as the Hawks improve to 10-10 on the year with a 2-2 mark in NE10 play.
  • Junior Mackenzie Bergen started game two for the Hawks, pitching all seven innings for her third complete game of the season, improving to 3-1 after allowing nine hits but just two earned runs with one strikeout.
  • Reitmeyer, Duquette, and Salafia all posted two-hit games with Duquette recording the only extra-base hit for the Hawks. Duquette and Salafia both had a run batted in, while Cipriani had two runs batted in despite going hitless.
  • Junior Abby Wrinn and sophomore Zaynah Wotkowicz both went 1-4 with singles and a run batted in, while junior Madeline Trisket went 1-3 with a single in the win.
How it Happened
The Hawks loaded the bases early in the first, with all three runs coming across to score to give Saint Anselm an early 3-0 lead. Duquette lifted a double to deep left field to plate another run in the second, eventually coming across to score on a fielder's choice off the bat of Cipriani as the Hawks led 5-0 after two.
 
The Greyhounds began to chip away, scoring once in the second before scoring two more runs in the third after a throwing error by the Hawks' catcher. Salafia helped the Hawks answer with an RBI single in the fourth, eventually scoring on a grounder in the infield to make it 7-3.
 
Assumption scored the last run of the game in the bottom of the sixth, making it 7-4, but Bergen closed out the win and the complete game in the seventh as the Hawks and Greyhounds split another doubleheader and the regular season series.
