Jenn Joseph Leads Delaware Softball To Doubleheader Sweep Of La Salle, 4-2, 1-0

Date: April 5, 2005

Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score

NEWARK, DE -- University of Delaware senior Jenn Joseph (Wilmington, DE/Brandywine) hit a three-run home run in the opener and threw her first shutout of the season in the nightcap to lead the Blue Hen softball team to a doubleheader sweep of La Salle, 4-2 and 1-0, Tuesday afternoon at Delaware Field.

Delaware, which has won seven of its last eight games to improve to 16-14 this season, jumped on the Explorers in the opening inning of the first game. After freshman Allison Borchers (Fallston, MD/Fallston) led off with a single to center and freshman Katie Lee (Manassas, VA/Osbourn) was hit by a pitch, Joseph hit a sinking line drive to rightfield. La Salle's Megan Berry dove for the ball but missed, and all three Blue Hens scored as Joseph recorded an inside-the-park homer, her first career home run. Delaware added a run in the second as senior Kelley Pastic (Centreville, VA/Chantilly) singled with one out, moved to third on a single by Borchers, and scored when Lee singled up the middle.

La Salle, which dropped to 4-20-1 this year, got a run back in the third when pitcher Laura DeZolt tripled to right to score Sarah Punderson. The Explorers got within two in the fifth when Michelle Sullivan singled to score Vinnie Caputo, but Delaware sophomore pitcher Carolynn Sloat (Ballston Lake, NY/Shenendehowa) avoided further damage by getting Carissa Segura to fly out to center with the bases loaded.

Sloat allowed two earned runs on seven hits while striking out six to improve to 10-6 on the year, and also stranded 10 La Salle runners on the bases. DeZolt gave up four earned runs on nine hits while falling to 1-7 this season.

The second game turned into a pitcher's dual between Joseph and Segura, as both teams could not cash in on scoring opportunities. The Explorers left the bases loaded in the first inning and stranded two more in the top of the fourth, while in the bottom of the fourth Delaware freshman Kimberly Williams (Circleville, OH/Circleville) was thrown out at the plate by Jennifer Street when she tried to score from second on a single by senior Lauren Gardner (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford).

La Salle had runners on second and third with one out in the sixth, but Sullivan lined out to Williams at shortstop and Joseph struck out Segura to keep the game scoreless. It remained that way until the bottom of the seventh, when Lee worked a one-out walk. Joseph then singled to right, and when Street let the ball get by her, Lee sped around to score the game's only run and give the Blue Hens the win.

Joseph scattered four hits and struck out six to improve to 5-8 with the victory, which was the 498th in head coach B.J. Ferguson's career. Segura was the hard luck loser for La Salle, as she allowed just one unearned run on five hits but still fell to 2-9 this year.

Joseph finished the day 3-for-7 with three RBIs and a run scored, while Borchers was 3-for-5 with a run scored and a pair of walks. Lee, Traynor, and Gardner each also had two hits on the day for the Blue Hens.

Delaware remains home this weekend to host defending Colonial Athletic Assocation champion Hofstra in a three-game series. The Blue Hens and Pride will play a doubleheader Saturday and a single game Sunday, with action on both days beginning at 12 noon.
