UMass Wins Fourth Straight, Defeats UMKC 10-2 In Six
February 18, 2018 | Softball
Kaycee Carbone led the way with three hits for a UMass offense that recorded 10 or more hits for the fourth straight game.
MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. – The University of Massachusetts softball offense stayed hot as they racked up 10 or more hits for the fourth straight game on their way to a 10-2 win over UMKC in six innings on the final day of the EMU Madeira Beach Invitational. The Minutewomen (5-4 Overall) were led by Kaycee Carbone's 3-of-4 showing at the plate with four RBI while Jena Cozza drove in three runs on her fifth home run in the last four games.
Â
Cozza's home run plated the first runs for UMass on the afternoon in the second inning as the senior sent a three-run shot over the wall in center field to score Amy Smith and Jackie Kelley and put the Minutewomen ahead 3-0 early. The home run moved Cozza into a three-way tie for seventh on the UMass career home run list, tying Brandi Cross and Scooter Wheeler with 26.
Â
Madison Gimpl added a run in the bottom half of the third before UMass came back with three runs with two outs in the fourth the push the lead to seven at 7-0.
Â
Erin Stacevicz singled on a bunt for one of her two hits in the game to put a pair of baserunners on for Kaitlyn Stavinoha, who followed with a RBI single to right field to score Cozza. Hannah Bunker singled for one of her two hits to bring in another before Carbone's first RBI of the afternoon capped off a three-run inning for UMass.
Â
UMKC (3-7 Overall) scored a pair of runs in the top of the fifth inning off Quinn Breidenbach, who allowed just three hits in 6.0 innings of work on her way to improving to 2-1 on the season. Breidenbach continued her scoreless-inning streak from yesterday's night cap, keeping UMKC off the board for the first four innings to give her eight-straight scoreless innings of work.
Â
Carbone sealed the UMass win in the bottom of the sixth inning on her third hit of the day and ninth RBI of the weekend, sending a three-run shot to right field to bring in Bunker and Stavinoha as UMass recorded 10 runs for the second straight game.
Â
UMass will be off next weekend before returning to the field on Friday, March 2 for a matchup against Notre Dame at 2:30 p.m. at the Diamond 9 Citrus Classic in Orlando, Fla.
