Notes and Numbers:

• First-year Kennedy Rogers (Pomona Beach, Calif.) earned her first collegiate home run in walk-off fashion in game one of Trinity's sweep over Bowdoin. She collected three hits and finished the weekend with four RBI.
• The senior trio of Cassidy Schiff (Darien, Conn.) Sam Witmer (Drexel Hill, Pa.) and Gillian Birk (Westport, Conn.) have powered the Bantams offensively. Schiff's .421 average leads the team, while Witmer's .409 average includes a team-high five RBI. Birk turned it on last weekend, going 4-8 with three RBI, and is third on the team with a .385 average.
• After a tough start to the year, first-year Tiffany Stowers (Burke, Va.) was exceptional out of the bullpen last weekend. The rookie through a combined six innings of relief work — pitching at least two innings in each game — and gave up just one earned run on three hits.
