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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Julianne Bolton picked up her sixth win for the Minutewomen as she struck out nine in seven innings of work with six hits allowed.
