PHILADELPHIA,
PA -- Freshmen Kimberly Williams
(Circleville, OH/Circleville) and Allison
Borchers (Fallston, MD/Fallston) each hit
home runs during a seven-run sixth inning
in the opener and sophomore Carolynn Sloat
(Ballston Lake, NY/Shenendehowa) threw her
second consecutive shutout in the nightcap
as the University of Delaware softball
team swept Pennsylvania, 9-7 and 4-0, in a
doubleheader Wednesday afternoon at Warren
Field.
The Blue
Hens, who improved to 7-8, struck first in
the opener with a pair of runs in the top
of the third inning. Freshman Natalie
Savona (Stamford, CT/Stamford) walked to
lead off the frame, and after senior
Kelley Pastic (Centreville, VA/Chantilly)
singled to leftfield, both runners scored
when Borchers (above) doubled to left
center.
However
the Quakers, who fell to 4-7, answered
with three runs in the bottom of the
fourth to take the lead. Casey Hare
singled home Melissa Haffner for Penn's
first run, and later in the inning Kaelin
Ainley slapped a bases loaded single to
plate two more and give the Quakers a 3-2
advantage. Penn then appeared to put the
game away when Jen Nichols belted a grand
slam in the fifth to make it a 7-2 game,
but Delaware would respond by scoring
seven runs in the top of the
sixth.
Senior
Jenn Joseph (Wilmington, DE/Brandywine),
who allowed seven runs, only two earned,
on five hits in the final five innings
after relieving junior starter Lindsay
Jones (South Milwaukee, WI/South
Milwaukee), led off the frame with a walk.
Freshman Barbara Traynor (Wheaton,
IL/Wheaton Warrenville South) then reached
on a fielder's choice while Joseph was
safe at second on an error, and one out
later Williams drilled a three-run home
run to centerfield to cut the Penn lead to
7-5.
Savona
then walked and Olivia Mauro replaced
starter Ann Ferracane on the mound for the
Quakers, but the pitching change did not
stop the Blue Hen rally. Senior Lauren
Gardner (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford)
walked, Pastic beat out an infield single,
and Borchers hit a grand slam to leftfield
to give Delaware the lead for good.
Joseph, who finished with five strikeouts,
then retired six of the final seven
batters to pick up the win and improve to
2-5 on the season. Jones gave up two hits
and a walk while striking out one in the
opening two innings, while Mauro took the
loss for Penn and fell to 1-2 this
year.
The Blue
Hens jumped on the Quakers early in the
second game by scoring twice in the top of
the first. Borchers led off with a walk,
and after freshman Katie Lee (Manassas,
VA/Osbourn) singled, an error by the Penn
rightfielder put runners on second and
third with nobody out. Joseph then bunted
for a hit to score Borchers, and Traynor
followed with a single to plate Lee with
Delaware's second run.
The game
remained that way until the sixth, when
the Blue Hens put the game away with
another pair of runs. Traynor led off with
a single and advanced to second while
sophomore Michelle Plant (Woodbridge,
VA/Woodbridge) reached on an error by the
Quaker pitcher. After a wild pitch
advanced both runners and Williams
grounded out, junior Heather Wrenn
(Centreville, VA/Centreville) singled to
rightfield to plate Traynor and make it a
3-0 game. Plant then scored on a wild
pitch for the Blue Hens' fourth run of the
game.
Sloat made
the lead hold up, allowing just four hits
and three walks while striking out four in
the game, which was called after six
innings due to darkness. The sophomore,
who improved to 4-3, has now gone 25
straight innings without allowing an
earned run for the Blue Hens.
Borchers
finished the day with two hits, two runs
scored, and six runs batted in, while
Traynor had a team-high four hits and also
scored a pair of runs. Pastic chipped in
three hits for Delaware and Williams
knocked in three with her
homer.
The Blue
Hens will compete in the Bash at the Beach
this weekend in Georgetown, DE. Delaware
opens play Friday by facing Albany at 10
a.m. and Providence at 2 p.m.
