April 10, 2022 | Softball
UMass wraps up the three-game series tomorrow at noon.
FAIRFAX, Va. – The University of Massachusetts softball team swept its doubleheader on Sunday afternoon at George Mason behind a 5-1 game one win before taking the second game by a 4-2 score. The Minutewomen and Patriots wrap up the three-game series tomorrow at noon at the George Mason Softball Complex.
Â
Game 1 – UMass 5, George Mason 1
The Minutewomen used a three-run first inning to pace the offense in game one while Amy Smith and Kendra Allen each posted multi-hit outings.
Â
Smith picked up her first hit in the first as she dropped down a well-placed bunt to move a pair of runners into scoring position while a throwing error followed to score Bella Pantoja for the game's first run. Chloe Whittier picked up a RBI of her own on a bunt single before Sarah Keagy drove in Smith on a sacrifice fly to deep right field to make it 3-0.
Â
George Mason's lone run of the opening game came in the third on a two-out base hit that brought home a runner from second to bring the score to 3-1.
Â
UMass added two runs in the fourth inning to bring it to a 5-1 final, first scoring as Pantoja crossed on a wild pitch. Allen's second hit of game one dropped just inside the right field line to score Smith for the game's final run.
Â
Jessie DiPasquale earned her fifth win in the circle for the Minutewomen as she went the distance, allowing just four hits with four strikeouts in the victory.
Â
Game 2 – UMass 4, George Mason 2
Grace Cadden's first collegiate home run put the Minutewomen on the board in the fourth inning of game two. Cadden sent a two-run shot to left center field to put UMass ahead 2-0 in the fourth inning.
Â
After George Mason tied it with a two-RBI single in the bottom half, the Minutewomen responded with a run in the sixth and seventh innings. Kristina Day reached on a single through the left side after an Allen leadoff walk and both runners moved into scoring position on a Cadden sacrifice bunt the following at-bat. Emily Whelan drove in a pinch running Abby Packard, who slid under the tag at the plate, with a sacrifice fly to right field to make it 3-2.
Â
Pantoja led off the seventh inning with a bunt single and moved over to third on a pair of wild pitches to set up a Smith sacrifice fly to right field for the game's final run. Pantoja finished with two of UMass' seven hits in the doubleheader finale.
Â
Julianne Bolton picked up her sixth win for the Minutewomen as she struck out nine in seven innings of work with six hits allowed.
