GAME ONE BOX SCORE
GAME TWO BOX SCORE
MEDFORD, Mass. - A day after taking game one of their weekend
series, the Bowdoin College softball team lost a doubleheader to
Tufts, 5-1 and 3-2 to fall to 14-7 this season.
Lauren Coven and Amy Hackett each had two hits, including a double
apiece, in the twinbill.
In game one of the afternoon, Tufts would grab the lead in the
second inning after first year 2B Emily Beinecke led off with a
single and came around to score on an error. Later in the inning,
with the bases empty, first-year LF Liz Pinzino deposited the ball
over the left-field fence for a solo homer to give the Jumbos a 2-0
advantage.
Bowdoin would answer back with a run of its own in the top of the
third, using a pair of infield singles from sophomore 2B Amy
Hackett and sophomore LF Caroline Dewar. Tufts would re-assume a
two-run lead in the bottom of the inning on an RBI single from
senior shortstop Casey Sullivan, scoring sophomore CF Lizzy Iuppa.
The Jumbos added two more insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth
as first year starting pitcher Rebecaa DiBiase went the distance,
allowing just one run on five hits with three strikeouts and no
walks. Junior Kara Nilan pitched all six frames for the Polar
Bears, allowing the five runs on eight hits. She struck out four
and walked just one batter.
Bowdoin would take the initial lead in the second of game of the
afternoon, plating one run in the top of the first. Nilan led off
the game with a single and stole second base. She moved to third on
a groundout and then came home on a sacrifice fly by senior
shortstop Shavonne Lord. The Polar Bears upped their lead in the
second inning on an RBI base-knock by junior 3B Molly Nestor.
The two-run lead for the Polar Bears did not last long though, as
in the bottom of the second Tufts would tie it up on a two-run,
line-drive home run by Julia Silberman that just cleared the fence
in straight-away centerfield. The score would remain deadlocked at
2-2 until the bottom of the fifth, when the Jumbos pushed ahead the
eventual game-winning run on a sacrifice fly by Cantone.
First-year Ally Moskowitz pitched the first six innings for the
Jumbos, giving up two runs on six hits with three strikeouts and
one walk. She gave way to junior Izzie Santone in the seventh, and
Santone proceeded to pick up the save while stranding a runner on
third base. First-year Tricia Thibodeau went the first 4.1 innings
for the Polar Bears allowing three runs on three hits. Senior Julia
Jacobs relieved her and in 1.2 innings allowed one inherited runner
to score with one hit and two strikeouts.
