Towson 2 Delaware 1 Towson Sweeps Delaware Softball 1-0 and 2-1 TOWSON, MD -- The University of Delaware softball team (30-12, 7-3 America East) was swept today (Saturday) by Towson University (27-15, 4-4) 1-0 and 2-1 at Towson Center Field. It marked the first time this season Delaware was swept in a doubleheader. Towson got all the offense it needed in the first inning of game one. Towson's Lisa Pollock led off with a single and then stole second. Pollock reached third on a Robin Zielinski error and then scored on a wild pitch. Julie Hughes held the high-powered Blue Hen offense to just five hits and allowed just three base runners to reach third base for the victory. Delaware's Kristi O'Connell allowed five hits and the unearned run while striking out five. Towson took a 1-0 in the fifth inning of game two when Chris Napora homered. Delaware answered back in the sixth with a RBI single by Lauren Mark which also sent the game into extra innings. In the ninth, Towson put the first two batters on base. Julie Ciccarelli popped out and Napora reached on a fielder's choice. Pollack scored the winning run on an error by Carolyn Wasilewski. Kathleen O'Hara picked up the win for Towson while Blue Hen Krysta Pidstawski took the loss. Delaware returns to action on Tuesday when the Hens travel to Lafayette for a doubleheader which starts at 3 p.m. AGATE: Delaware (30-11) 000 000 0 0-5-2 Towson (26-15) 100 000 x 1-5-0 Pitchers: UD: O'Connell and Dowell, TU: Hughes and Clyde; 2B: Brady (D), Clyde (T); SB: Pollack (T), Cenci (T), Clyde (T); SH: Wasilewski (D); DP: TU - 1; LOB: UD - 9, TU - 7; E: Welch (D), Zielinski (D); WP: O'Connell (D), Hughes (T); PB: Clyde (T) W: Hughes 14-6 L: O'Connell 15-6 Delaware (30-12) 000 001 000 1-6-1 Towson (27-15) 000 010 001 2-5-1 Pitchers: UD: Pidstawski and Wilkins, TU: O'Hara and Clyde; HR: Napora (T); SH: Brady (D), O'Hara (T); LOB: UD - 8, TU - 5; E: Wasilewski (D), O'Hara (T) W: O'Hara 11-9 L: Pidstawski 13-6 -30- |
