NEWARK, DE
(April 26, 2005) -- University of Delaware
freshman Barbara Traynor (Wheaton,
IL/Wheaton Warrenville South) went 2-for-4
with two RBIs and a run scored in the
opener while pitchers Jenn Joseph -right-
and Lindsay Jones combined on a no-hitter
in the nightcap as the Blue Hen softball
team swept a doubleheader from Rutgers,
6-1 and 8-0 in five innings, Tuesday
afternoon at Delaware Field.
The
no-hitter, Delaware's first since Kristi
O'Connell shut out Boston University on
May 12, 2000 in the America East
Tournament, was the 13th no-hitter in
school history and just the second
combined no-hitter in Blue Hen
history.
Joseph
(Wilmington, DE/Brandywine) allowed just a
leadoff walk to Hilary King in the top of
the third and struck out three in three
innings of work before leaving the game
after being hit on the wrist while
batting. Jones (South Milwaukee, WI/South
Milwaukee) struck out one in two perfect
innings in relief.
The Blue
Hens jumped ahead with three runs in the
bottom of the first, as freshman second
baseman Allison Borchers (Fallston,
MD/Fallston) walked, moved to second on a
sacrifice bunt by senior rightfielder
Kelley Pastic (Centreville, VA/Chantilly),
advanced to third on a wild pitch, and
scored on a double to center by Traynor.
Freshman designated player Melissa Morris
(Millsboro, DE/Sussex Tech) followed with
a triple to center to plate Traynor, and
Morris scored the third run of the inning
when freshman catcher Jessica Ralston
(Boonton Township, NJ/Montville Township)
reached on an error by the Scarlet Knights
shortstop.
Delaware,
which improved to 24-20 on the season,
added a pair of runs in the second.
Freshman centerfielder Katie Lee
(Manassas, VA/Osbourn) led off by doubing
to left, and after a flyout, Pastic
tripled to center to score Lee. One out
later Morris singled into right to score
Pastic and give the Blue Hens a 5-0 lead.
Senior leftfielder Lauren Gardner
(Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford) led off the
third inning by walking, moved to second
on a wild pitch, and two outs later scored
on a double to center by
Borchers.
After the
Blue Hens loaded the bases with one out in
the fourth when Ralston doubled to left,
Gardner beat out an infield single, and
freshman shortstop Kimberly Williams
(Circleville, OH/Circleville) walked, two
runs scored when Lee reached on another
error by the Rutgers shortstop.
Joseph
improved to 9-10 with the victory, while
Rutgers starter Christina Gillman fell to
0-11 after allowing eight runs, five
earned, on nine hits in 3.1 innings or
work.
Delaware
also jumped ahead early in the first game
by scoring four runs in the bottom of the
first. Sophomore third baseman Michelle
Plant (Woodbridge, VA/Woodbridge) led off
with a walk, and after she moved to second
on a sacrifice bunt by Pastic, Borchers
walked and Joseph reached on an error to
load the bases. Traynor then singled
through the right side to score Plant, and
Borchers came home when the Scarlet
Knights rightfielder overran the ball.
After a groundout Ralston singled into
right to score Joseph, and Traynor scored
on the play when the Rutgers rightfielder
again misplayed the ball.
Rutgers,
which fell to 3-39 on the season, got a
run back in the top of the third when
Xaymara Rodriguez led off with a triple
and scored when Plant could not handle a
pickoff throw by Ralston. However the Blue
Hens got the run back in the bottom of the
frame when Ralston tripled to center with
two outs and scored on an infield single
by Gardner. Delaware tacked on the final
run of the game in the fourth when
Borchers led off with a walk, moved to
second when Joseph walked, and scored when
Traynor singled into right.
Sophomore
starter Carolynn Sloat (Ballston Lake,
NY/Shenendehowa) picked up the win and
improved to 14-10 on the year after
allowing just one run on four hits while
striking out five in six innings of work.
Sophomore Kelsey Knapp (Leechburg,
PA/Kiski Area) struck out two in a perfect
seventh inning. Helen Smith gave up six
runs, just two earned, on seven hits and
walked seven in three-plus innings to fall
to 0-2 on the season.
Gardner
finished 3-for-4 with two runs scored and
an RBI on the day, while Ralston was
3-for-6 with a pair of runs scored and a
run batted in.
The Blue
Hens return to action on Wednesday when
Delaware travels to Bucknell for a 2:30
p.m. doubleheader with the
Bison.
