Last Time Out
Massachusetts was unable to get the series win against George Washington over the weekend, spliting the home-opening doubleheader on Saturday, but dropping the series finale on Sunday.
Massachusetts claimed victory in its first home game of the season, taking a 3-1 decision in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. The Minutewomen struck early, with Odyssey Torres batting in Lily Woodworth and Sophia Thormeyer on an RBI double to open the scoring in the bottom of the first. Julianne Bolton earned the complete game victory, throwing seven innings and striking out six batters on the day. Angie Rama, Lydia Castro, and Riley Kairer also tallied hits for UMass in game one of the series.
Despite scoring first yet again in the game two, the Minutewomen would fall just short after taking the Revolutionaries the distance in a 10-inning bout, 6-3. After Riain Keefe and Woodworth rattled off base hits, Castro would bring home one with an RBI single as UMass to an early 1-0 lead in the first. The Revolutionaries would grind out a run in the fifth and sixth innnings to knot the score at 3-3, forcing extra innings as neither side could find a game-winning score. Massachusetts surrendered a three-run innning in the top of the 10th and were unable to equalize in the last at-bats with two on to seal the 6-3 loss.
George Washington would emerge victorious in the series finale on Sunday, despite a valiant comeback effort by UMass. Massachusetts surrendered runs in the first, third, and fourth innings as the Minutewomen trailed 3-0 going into the bottom of the fifth inning. Despite a momentum swing following the fifth inning, Massachusetts was unable to find an equalizer in the bottom of the sixth and seventh innings.
