Box Score 2 Hartford, Conn. – Trailing 5-4, Ashlie
Morris (Wolcott, Conn.) hit a two-out bases clearing
double in the top of the seventh inning of game two as the visiting
Western Connecticut State Colonials closed out their second win of
the afternoon over the Trinity College Bantams in NESCAC softball
action this afternoon on Campus Field. Trinity slides to
12-16 on the season, breaking a four-game losing streak, while
Western Connecticut improves to 23-11 on the year, and is in the
midst of a five-game streak.
Trinity first-year Miranda Riendeau-Card (Bowdoinham,
Maine) continued her power streak, belting her fifth
homerun in five games. That brings her season total to eight
in her rookie campaign, tying her for second all-time for the
single season mark with Jessica Tait in 2008 and Nicole Nardella in
2010. The single season record is nine by Lindsey Freeman in
2006.
Trinity jumped on top of the Colonials, 4-0, in the second
inning of game two, highlighted by a two-RBI double by junior
Kerry McCarthy (Andover, Mass.). Trinity was
in the lead for the remainder of the game, until Western
Connecticut was down to their final out. That's when
Morris delivered with a double to the wall, down the right field
line, plating three. Senior Magen Dargon (Trumbull,
Conn.) closed the game with her second save of the day, as
sophomore Stephanie Moss (Brookfield, Conn.) is
credited with the win, also her second of the day.
In the opener, the Colonials first two batters scored, and
Western Connecticut never looked back from there. Trinity
trailed 4-2 heading into the seventh inning, and the Colonials
scored two runs in the top half of the inning, which proved to be
critical runs, as the Bantams scored two in the bottom half of the
frame. Dargon struck out two and put out the fire to close
game one.
Trinity sophomore Christina Galese (Fairfield,
N.J.) homered and doubled in the game for the Bantams,
while senior Danielle Basciano (Holmes, N.Y.)
picked up three hits in the leadoff spot for the Colonials in game
one.
