Nash, Staub help Judges to DH split with UMass Dartmouth

Haley Nash became the program's career HR leader, while Jamie Staub earned her first win

WALTHAM, Mass. – Brandeis University softball graduate student Haley Nash (Delmar, N.Y./Bethlehem Central) homered to become the program's career leader, while first-year Jamie Staub (Lawrenceville, N.J./Hun School) tossed a complete-game four-hitter as the Judges earned a split with UMass Dartmouth today on Marcus Field. The Corsairs won Game 1, 12-4, while the Judges took the nightcap, 10-2, in a pair of games that ended after six innings because of the run rule.

TEAM RECORDS
  • Brandeis, 2-15.
  • UMass Dartmouth, 11-5.
HOW IT HAPPENED, GAME 2 (Brandeis 10, UMass Dartmouth 2, 6 innings)
  • UMass Dartmouth opened the scoring with a solo home run from Larissa Piessens in the top of the first.
  • Brandeis took the lead for good in the bottom of the frame. With runners on the corners, sophomore 1B Brooke Boehmer (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mount Lebanon) singled home the tying run. Nash hit a fielder's choice to third that saw UMD get the lead runner for the first out.
  • Senior catcher Tristan Boyer (Chesapeake, Va./Grassfield) brought home the winning runs when her grounder went through the Corsair shortstop's legs, and then was over run in left field. The ball rolled all the way to the fence, allowing Boehmer and Nash both to score.
  • That was all that Staub needed, as she only allowed more than one base runner in an inning once the rest of the way.
  • Brandeis added its first insurance run in the third by way of Nash's second home run of the season and the 32nd of her career. The bomb broke a tie with Melissa Jones '99 atop the Judges' career list and gave Brandeis a 4-1 lead.
  • UMD got a run back in an unusual way in the top of the fourth. After Chaylin Salgado was hit by a pitch, she was bunted to second and stole third. Corsair catcher Lena Tsionis then took Staub deep, but Tsionis was only credited with a triple and was called out for being touched by her teammates in fair territory for the second out of the inning, leaving the score 4-2.
  • Brandeis junior Elle Ehrlich (Falls Church, Va./Meridian) added another solo homer in the fourth, her first of the season and the third of her career to make it 5-2.
  • The Judges closed things out with a five-run sixth inning that saw first-year SS Katie Baydian (Massapequa, N.Y./Our Lady of Mercy Acad.) and Boehmer each drive in two runs.
  • For the game, Staub earned her first collegiate win, tossing a six-inning complete game. She allowed four hits and two earned runs, striking out four without a walk and two hit batters. Staub is now 1-5 on the season.
  • UMD's Lily Routhier took the loss, allowing eight hits and five runs (three earned) in five innings of work. It was her first defeat, falling to 5-1.
  • Boehmer (3-4, 3 RBI, R), Nash (2-3, 2 R, RBI, HR, 2B) and Baydian (2-4, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2B) were Brandeis's hitting stars.
  • Piessens went 2-3 with a run, an RBI, a double and a homer, collecting half of the Corsairs' hits.
  • The Brandeis win snapped a 12-game losing streak.
HOW IT HAPPENED, GAME 1 (UMD 12, Brandeis 4, 6 innings)
  • The opener was the RaeLynn Perrigaux show for UMass Dartmouth, as the junior 3B went 4-4 with five RBI, three runs scored, two doubles and two home runs.
  • After the Corsairs opened the scoring with a three-run homer by Tsionis in the first inning, Perrigaux had a solo shot in the second to give the visitors a 4-0 lead.
  • Brandeis struck back with three in bottom of the third on an RBI double by Boehmer and a two-run single by Nash.
  • UMD broke things open with a six-run fourth that included a two-run double by Piessens and a three-run blast by Perrigaux that made it 10-3.
  • Brandeis scored on a groundout in the bottom of the frame, but a passed ball and an RBI double by Perrigaux in the sixth allowed the Corsairs to close things out an inning early, 12-4.
  • UMD's Riley Giard earned the win with 3.1 innings of one-hit, one-run relief. She struck out two and walked one for her first collegiate victory.
  • Brandeis's Claire Warden (Annandale, Va./Woodson) took the loss, giving up seven hits and eight runs (seven earned) in 3.1 innings. She struck out two and did not walk a batter, but fell to 0-4 on the season.
UP NEXT
  • Brandeis will play its first UAA home games this weekend against NYU, starting with a single contest on Friday at 3 p.m.
