Callie Osbourne Throws Shutout As Hofstra Softball Downs Delaware, 3-0, To Complete Three-Game Sweep

Date: April 10, 2005

NEWARK, DE -- Hofstra University pitcher Callie Osborne threw her third consecutive shutout and her second in two days over Delaware to lead the Pride softball team to a 3-0 win over the Blue Hens Sunday afternoon.

Hofstra, which also won twice over Delaware Saturday by scores of 1-0 and 6-0, swept the three-game series while improving to 23-12 overall and 4-1 in the Colonial Athletic Association. The Blue Hens dropped to 16-17 overall and 3-6 in the conference.

The Pride took the lead in the top of the first as Lisa Wambold doubled with one out and scored when Ashley Lane singled up the middle. Hailey Clark led off the second with a double down the leftfield line and scored when Lisa Torres followed with a double to left to give Hofstra a two-run lead. Wambold made it a 3-0 game in the fifth when she hit a home run to rightfield, her team-leading ninth round-tripper of the year.

The Blue Hens could not manage a hit through the first six innings, but mounted a rally in the seventh. Senior Jenn Joseph (Wilmington, DE/Brandywine) -above- led off with a single to center, and one out later sophomore Michelle Plant (Woodbridge, VA/Woodbridge) beat out an infield single. Freshman Kimberly Williams (Circleville, OH/Circleville) followed with a walk to load the bases, but Osbourne got freshman Natalie Savona (Stamford, CT/Stamford) to bounce into a fielder's choice and retired senior Lauren Gardner (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford) on an infield pop-up to end the game.

Blue Hen sophomore Carolynn Sloat (Ballston Lake, NY/Shenendehowa) started in the circle for Delaware and allowed all three runs on six hits while striking out four to fall to 10-8 on the year. Joseph gave up three hits and struck out three in two scoreless innings of relief. Osborne won her 10th straight decision for Hofstra, one shy of the school record, and tied her career-high with 10 strikeouts.

The Blue Hens return home Wednesday to host Rider in a nonconference doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m.
