 Sloat
Pitches Shutout As Delaware Softball Wins
Rubber Game At UNC Wilmington,
4-0
Date:
April 3, 2005
WILMINGTON,
NC -- University of Delaware sophomore
pitcher Carolynn Sloat (Ballston Lake,
NY/Shenendehowa) -right- bounced back from
a rocky start on Saturday by throwing a
six-hit shutout as the Blue Hens defeated
UNC Wilmington, 4-0, on Sunday afternoon
at Boseman Field to take two of the three
games this weekend.
Delaware
improved to 14-14 overall and 3-3 in the
Colonial Athletic Association with
Sunday's victory, which was the 496th in
head coach B.J. Ferguson's career. The
Seahawks fell to 19-27 overall and 2-4 in
league play.
The Blue
Hens took the lead in the top of the
second by scoring a pair of runs. Freshman
shortstop Kimberly Williams (Circleville,
OH/Circleville) doubled to center with one
out, and freshman catcher Natalie Savona
(Stamford, CT/Stamford) followed with a
single to center to put runners on the
corners. Savona then stole second, and
when UNCW catcher Laura Hendrickson threw
the ball into center field, Williams came
home with the first run of the game.
Savona went to third when Seahawks
centerfielder Christina Elmore's throw
home was wild and scored one out later
when senior rightfielder Kelley Pastic
(Centreville, VA/Chantilly) singled to
second base.
Williams
again started Delaware's rally in the top
of the fourth by drawing a walk, and
Savona followed with a double to left
field. Senior leftfielder Lauren Gardner
(Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford) then singled
to left to score Williams and move Savona
to third, and after Jess Luckett relieved
UNCW starter Jamie Gostyla in the circle,
Pastic singled to right to plate Savona
with the Blue Hens' fourth run.
That would
be plenty for Sloat, who allowed 10 runs
on on 10 hits in 3.2 innings of work
against the Seahawks Saturday but
scattered six hits and walked just two
while striking out three on Sunday. The
shutout was the fifth of the season for
Sloat, who improved to 9-6 on the year.
Gostayla gave up four runs, two earned, in
three-plus innings of work to pick up the
loss and fall to 2-3 on the
season.
Williams
finished 2-for-3 with two runs scored for
Delaware, while Pastic went 2-for-3 with a
pair of runs batted in. Savona was 2-for-4
with two runs scored while Gardner was
2-for-4 with an RBI, as the Blue Hens' six
through nine batters went a combined
8-for-14 on the day.
The Blue
Hens, who have played just two games at
home so far this season, return home
Tuesday to host La Salle in a doubleheader
beginning at 2:30 p.m.
