Softball splits at UMass Dartmouth for first road loss

DARTMOUTH, Mass. – The Brandeis University softball team won its eighth-straight road game in the opener of a doubleheader today at UMass-Dartmouth, 7-1, but the Judges saw their streak snapped in the nightcap, 5-4.

TEAM RECORDS
  • Brandeis: 13-7.
  • UMass-Dartmouth: 11-5.
HOW IT HAPPENED, GAME 1 (Brandeis 7, UMass Dartmouth 1)
  • The Judges had a pair of three-run innings to top the Corsairs in the opener, scoring three in the third and again in the fifth before tacking on a single run in the seventh.
  • In the third, junior 1B Brooke Boehmer (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mount Lebanon) drove in the game's first run with an infield single, and sophomore 3B Jordan Wallace (Howell, N.J./Choate Rosemary Hall) plated the game-winning runs with a double down the left-field line.
  • UMD got one back in the fourth, but senior CF Bells Burdenski (San Diego, Calif./Rancho Bernardo) had a two-run double in the fifth, scoring on a single by classmate RF Maddie Manes (San Clemente, Calif./San Juan Hills) to give Brandeis a 6-1 lead.
  • Boehmer scored on a Burdenski sacrifice fly in the seventh to close out the scoring.
  • First-year pitcher Madeline Jennings (New York, N.Y./Beacon) improved to 5-3 in the circle, scattering seven hits and allowing just one earned run in seven innings. She struck out two without a walk.
  • Jennings' third complete game of the season came on just 86 pitches.
  • Boehmer and Wallace each had two hits and a double in the contest, while Burdenski led the Judges with her three RBI.
HOW IT HAPPENED, GAME 2 (UMass Dartmouth 5, Brandeis 4)
  • Burdneski and the Judges kept up their hot offense early on in Game 2, with the senior CF driving in two more runs with a single to left.
  • Senior RF Erin Hunt (Wake Forest, N.C./Franklin Academy) drove in a run on a single with two on in the second, but the Corsairs threw out a crucial second run at the plate. First-year DP Taryn Rainey (Huntley, Ill./Huntley) plated Hunt to give Brandeis a 4-0 lead.
  • UMD relief pitcher Lily Routhier kept the Judges off the board the rest of the way, allowing the Corsairs to come back.
  • UMass Dartmouth took advantage Brandeis errors in their comeback, as all five of their runs were unearned. In the third, Leona Tsonis got the home team on the board and Sydney Menz hit a two-run double to get them within 4-3.
  • The tying run came home in the fifth when a potential inning-ending grounder with the bases loaded was unable to be handled.
  • In the sixth, a one-out throwing error allowed the go-ahead run to reach second, and Bre Fontes delivered a single to center that gave UMD the lead, and Routhier worked around a one-out single in the top of the seventh to secure the win.
  • Rainey led Brandeis with three hits, while three others had two. Hunt scored two runs, while Burdenski's two RBI led the team.
  • Sophomore Jamie Staub (Lawrenceville, N.J./Hun School) was the tough-luck loser, allowing two unearned runs in three innings of relief. She gave up four hits with two strikeouts and two walks, falling to 3-2 on the campaign.
  • Senior starter Ragini Kannan (Westford, Mass./Westford Academy) gave up three unearned runs on six hits in her three innings of action, fanning two without a walk.
UP NEXT
  • Brandeis meets Wellesley College tomorrow for a 3 p.m. doubleheader.
