Bantams Walk Off to Split with Cardinals on Senior Day

HARTFORD, Conn. – The Trinity College softball team split a NESCAC doubleheader against visiting Wesleyan University on Sunday afternoon at the Trinity College Softball Field. The Bantams opened the day with a thrilling walk-off win in extra innings to take game one, 6-5, before falling in game two, 5-0. With the split, the Bantams move to 10-20 overall and 3-13 in conference play, while the Cardinals improve to 23-11 and 10-6 in the NESCAC standings.

Prior to the start of game one, Trinity honored its three seniors — left fielder Erin Steed, right fielder Hannah Mullaney, and shortstop Taylor Mikolajczak. 

Game One: Trinity 6, Wesleyan 5

The opener remained scoreless until the fifth inning when Wesleyan struck for four runs to take a 4-0 lead. Trinity responded in the sixth as Isabella Calagna and Abby Alper each delivered RBI singles to cut the deficit in half, 4-2.

In the top of the seventh, Wesleyan's J. Killion singled to left to drive in an insurance run, extending the Cardinals' lead to 5-2.

Down to their final out in the bottom of the seventh, Trinity rallied. With Makenna True and Mikayla O'Brien on base, Emily Goddard came through in the clutch, sending a ball to deep right-center for a triple, scoring both runners to bring the Bantams within one, 5-4. Calagna then reached on an error by the shortstop, allowing Goddard to cross the plate with the tying run and send the game into extra innings.

Despite an error in the top of the eighth, the Bantams escaped the inning without surrendering a run. In the bottom half, Alper reached on an error, and Kennedy Rogers followed with a walk. Trinity inserted Annika Haley to pinch run for Rogers, while Wesleyan made a pitching change, bringing in Bella Secaira-Cotto. Erin Steed then hit a grounder to third, where Wesleyan got the force out at third base, but an errant throw to first allowed Haley to race home with the winning run.

Zofia Sargent pitched a complete game for Trinity, allowing five runs on 11 hits and four walks. She faced 41 batters, striking out three, while recording 13 flyouts and eight groundouts to earn the victory.

Game Two: Wesleyan 5, Trinity 0

In game two, Wesleyan jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning and added two more runs in the fifth. The Cardinals tacked on an insurance run in the seventh with a triple to right-center, sealing a 5-0 win to split the doubleheader.

The Bantams recorded eight hits and one walk but were unable to string together timely hits, while three Trinity batters struck out.

Annie Konieczka got the start for Trinity, pitching a complete game. She allowed seven hits and five runs while recording 14 flyouts, five groundouts, and one strikeout.
