GREENVILLE, NC -- The University of Delaware softball team opened the day with an 8-2 win over Manhattan but followed with losses to East Carolina and Canisius and were eliminated from the Pirate Softball Classic at East Carolina University Saturday afternoon.

After the win over Manhattan, the Hens (2-3) fell to host East Carolina 1-0 in the final game of pool play. In the first round of playoffs, the No. 3 seed Hens fell to No. 2 Canisius 4-3.

In the win over Manhattan, the Hens erupted for six runs in the sixth inning on the way to the victory. Third baseman Lauren Mark (Ursuline Academy) went 3 for 4 with three runs batted in while shortstop Carolyn Wasilewski was 1 for 3 with a double and a run scored. Freshman Krissy Chrisztopulosz was 2 for 3 with an RBI and two runs scored. Susan Dugan (1-1) picked up the win in relief, allowing just one hit in three innings for the Hens.

In the second game, East Carolina scored the game's only run when Amekea McDougald connected on a two-out RBI double in the bottom of the seventh inning for the win. Denise Reagan allowed just four hits in pitching the shutout for ECU. Delaware's Kristi O'Connell (1-1) took the loss despite allowing just four hits. Mark was 1 for 3 for the Hens.

In the elimination game, Canisius scored two runs in the sixth inning on an RBI single by Jill Iacono and a passed ball to overcome a 3-2 deficit.
