Trinity Softball Splits NESCAC Opening Twinbill At Colby

Waterville, Maine - Junior RHP Jordan Stephan (South Orange, N.J.) tossed a two-hit shutout with six strikeouts and one walk to lead the visiting Trinity College Bantams to a 7/2-0/8 doubleheader split against the Colby College Mules in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) East Division softball action this afternoon.  Trinity is now 1-3 this spring, as the Bantams post their first victory since May 4, 2019.  Colby moves to 3-7, snapping a five-game losing skid with its game-two triumph.  The Bantams host NESCAC East rival Tufts in their first home games since in 24 months tomorrow with a doubleheader at 2 p.m.

Stephan allowed just one baserunner through five innings and Trinity pounded 14 hits offensively.  Seniors Samantha Witmer (Drexel Hill, Pa.) and Cassidy Schiff (Darien, Conn.) both went 3-for-4, while classmate Hannah Zukowski (Burlington, Conn.) and sophomore Michaela Russell (Boston, Mass.) added two hits apiece. Witmer doubled twice and drove in two runs.  Russell tripled, scored twice, and stole a base.  Sam Ahlholm (North Andover, Mass.) went the distance and fell to 1-3 in the Colby circle.

Trinity broke a 2-2 tie in the third inning when Witmer and Zukowski singled and Witmer scored on a double by senior captain Gillian Birk (Westport, Conn.).  Schiff then drove Zukowski home with an RBI single.  In the fourth frame, Russell tripled with two outs and scored on a Witmer double, before Zukowski added another run-scoring single to make it, 4-0.  Witmer added another RBI double in the sixth inning, and senior 3B Kaitlyn DeCapua (Milford, Mass.) delivered a two-out, two-run single in the seventh to round out the Trinity scoring.

In the second game, Ahlholm was steadier, allowing eight hits but walking none with six K's for the home team.  Colby scored two unearned runs in the top of the first inning off Bantam rookie hurler Tiffany Stowers (Burke, Va.), but broke the game open with four runs in the fifth.  Trinity cut its deficit to 6-2 in the top of the sixth frame thanks to an RBI single by Witmer and an RBI double by Schiff, but the Mules answered with two more unearned runs in the bottom of the same inning on an error, a wild pitch, three walks, and a two-out hit.  Sophomore Jackie Hill had two hits for Colby and Birk had two hits for the Bantams.
