Trinty Softball Endures Tough Weekend At Bowdoin
Brunswick, Maine - The Bowdoin College Polar Bear softball team
pounded out 20 runs, 31 hits and 11 extra base hits to take a
doubleheader sweep of the visiting Trinity College Bantams this
afternoon, 7-0, and 13-5. The Polar Bears improve to 20-8
overall and 3-3 in the NESCAC and complete a three-game weekend
sweep of their New England Small College Athletic Conference
(NESCAC) East Division foe. Trinity drops to 8-14 overall and
2-7 in the NESCAC.
Melissa DellaTorre tossed a one-hit shutout to earn the
victory in the opener. The Polar Bears scored twice on a Casey
Correa double and a Hannah Wurgaft single in the fourth and erupted
for four runs in the fifth thanks to run-scoring hits from Gen
Barlow, Wurgaft and Courtney Colantuno. Sophomore Claire Prosperi
(Northbrook, Ill.) had the lone hit for Trinity, a single in the
third inning. Senior co-captain Katherine Poulos (Wilton, Conn.)
took the loss for the Bantams, allowing six earned runs and
striking out five in six innings.
The Polar Bears built a 9-1 lead but had to stave off a late
rally by Trinity in game two. Barlow had a two-run double in
the first frame and delivered a grand slam in the fourth.
Trinity rookie 2B Miranda Riendeau-Card (Bowdoinham, Maine) had a
homer for Trinity while jnior OF Amelia Mostovoy (San Francisco,
Calif.) had two hits in the loss. Freshman RHP Katerina Kolbe
(Washington, D.C.) earned the loss in the Trinity circle.
DellaTorre picked up the win for Bowdoin with 1.1 innings of relief
of Tricia Thibodeau, who went 4.2 frames and allowed three earned
runs.
