Polar Bear Softball Stays Perfect With Two Wednesday Wins

CLERMONT, Fla. - The Bowdoin College softball team picked up two more wins on Wednesday, claiming a 2-1 victory over Frostburg State and a 6-3 decision over FDU-Florham to improve to 4-0 this season.

Bowdoin won a pitcher's duel in game one as starter Kara Nilan went five innings, allowing one hit and striking out seven before giving way to Julia Jacobs and Michelle Wells to seal the win. Clare Ronan accounted for both Bowdoin runs, going 2-4 with two RBI while Shavonne Lord had a triple and Lauren Coven a double in the win.

A team effort lifted the Polar Bears to a win in game two, as Kaity Sansone tossed the first three innings and allowed just two hits against four strikeouts before giving way to Jacobs for three frames. Jacobs permitted three hits and whiffed three to set the table for Wells' second save of the day. Caroline Dewar went 3-4 to pace the Bowdoin offense while Gen Barlow had a two-run single and Nilan went 2-4.
