Reitmeyer Sets All-Time Homerun Record as Softball Splits NE10 Doubleheader at AIC

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Senior Rose Reitmeyer set the Saint Anselm College softball all-time home run record as the Hawks split a Northeast 10 Conference doubleheader at American International College on Friday afternoon, earning a 3-2 extra-inning victory in game one before falling 7-2 in the nightcap at Judy Groff Field.

Game 1: Saint Anselm 3 (22-27, 14-19 NE10), American International 2 (13-32, 9-24 NE10) – 8 inn.
 
Highlights 
  • Senior Kendra Lee improved to 12-10 in the circle, tossing a complete-game eight-inning effort while allowing seven hits and two unearned runs with seven strikeouts.
  • Reitmeyer powered the offense, going 2-4 with two home runs and two RBI, as she's now up to 15 home runs this season. Reitmeyer now sits at 26 career home runs, topping the all-time list in the Saint Anselm softball record book.
  • Junior Caitlyn Duquette went 2-4 with a pair of singles and a run scored while classmate Abby Wrinn recorded a double as she went 1-4.
  • Junior Sarah Cipriani added an RBI while classmate Brooke Tardugno and sophomore Katie Fox each tallied a hit.
How it Happened
Saint Anselm struck first in the opening inning as Reitmeyer launched a solo home run before Cipriani followed with an RBI single to make it 2-0.
 
American International answered with an unearned run in the second and tied the game in the fourth, capitalizing on Saint Anselm miscues to even the score at 2-2.
 
Both pitchers settled in from there, as Lee worked out of multiple jams—including a bases-loaded threat in the seventh—to keep the game tied.
 
In the eighth, Reitmeyer delivered again, blasting her second solo home run of the game to give the Hawks a 3-2 lead.
 
Lee closed the door in the bottom half, retiring the side to secure the extra-inning victory.

Game 2: American International 7 (14-32, 10-24 NE10), Saint Anselm 2 (22-28, 14-20 NE10)
 
Highlights 
  • Saint Anselm is now 34-50 all-time against American Int'l.
  • Duquette led the Hawks in game two, finishing 2-4, while Wrinn drove in an RBI and went 1-3.
  • Fox scored twice, going 1-3 with a walk.
  • Seniors Lily Mason and Madeline Trisket each recorded hits with Trisket tallying a double.
  • Junior Mackenzie Bergen took the loss in the circle, allowing seven runs (three earned), over six innings.
How it Happened
Saint Anselm opened the scoring in the first inning, taking advantage of an error to grab a 1-0 lead.
 
American International answered in the second to tie the game before taking a 2-1 lead on a solo home run in the fourth.
 
The Hawks evened the score in the fifth as Fox scored on a sacrifice fly from Wrinn to make it 2-2.
 
The game turned in the sixth inning, when American International capitalized on multiple defensive errors, scoring five runs—only one of which was earned—to take a 7-2 lead.
 
Saint Anselm was unable to respond in the final frame as American International secured the split.
