Softball sweeps Northwestern-St. Paul, Allegheny on Day 2 of Florida trip

CLERMONT, Fla. – Three Brandeis University pitchers held their opponents to six hits over 16 innings of action today as the Judges defeated Northwestern-St. Paul, 8-1, and Allegheny (Pa.), 8-3 in nine innings on their second day of action at THE Spring Games in Clermont, Florida.

TEAM RECORDS
  • Brandeis, 3-1.
  • Northwestern-St. Paul, 4-5.
  • Allegheny, 4-5.
HOW IT HAPPENED vs NORTHWESTERN-ST. PAUL (8-1)
  • Sophomore lefty Jamie Staub (Lawrenceville, N.J./Hun School) had the best outing of her collegiate career in today's opener.
  • Staub tossed a complete-game two-hitter, throwing seven innings and allowing just one earned run. She struck out three and walked three with a hit batter.
  • Staub faced just six batters over the minimum in the contest, retiring the last nine batters she faced, as she improved to 1-0 on the season.
  • Offensively, the Judges got all the scoring they would need in the bottom of the first inning, sending 11 hitters to the plate and scoring six runs on seven hits and a hit batter.
  • Sophomore 3B Jordan Wallace (Howell, N.J. / Choate Rosemary Hall (Conn.)) delivered a two-run double to open the scoring, and first-year DP Taryn Rainey (Huntley, Ill. / Huntley) followed with a two-bagger of her own to make it 3-0.
  • Junior SS Katie Baydian (Massapequa, N.Y./Our Lady of Mercy Acad.) knocked home Rainey with the Judges' third double of the inning, and senior RF Maddie Manes (San Clemente, Calif / San Juan Hills) wrapped up the scoring with a two-run single.
  • After working around a hit batter in the first and a walk in the second, Staub ran into more trouble in the third, as the Eagles loaded the bases on their first hit, a fielder's choice back to the circle and a walk. Staub induced a couple of pop-ups for the first two outs, but a walk drove in UNW's first run before a liner to third ended the threat.
  • The Eagles got another single with one out in the fourth, but followed it with a fielder's choice and a caught stealing by sophomore catcher Dylan Yamamura (Newbury Park, Calif. / Newbury Park). UNW would not get another base runner the rest of the way.
  • Junior Brooke Boehmer (Pittsburgh, Pa. / Mount Lebanon) drove in a run in the bottom of the fourth and Rainey added her second RBI of the day in the sixth to close out the scoring in the 8-1 win.
  • Senior Erin Hunt (Wake Forest, N.C. / Franklin Academy) paced the offense with three hits, two runs scored and two stolen bases. Wallace, Rainey and Manes each finished with two RBI.
HOW IT HAPPENED vs ALLEGHENY (8-3, 9 innings)
  • The Judges' contest against Allegheny proved to be more of a pitcher's duel until the end.
  • The Gators scored first in their first at-bat against first-year pitcher Madeline Jennings (New York, N.Y. / Beacon). With one out, a walk and two singles put them on top. AC loaded the bases on a two-out error, but Jennings induced a pop to first to leave the bases loaded, limiting the damage.
  • Brandeis left the bases loaded in the second, but broke through in the third, when junior CF Bells Burdenski (San Diego, Calif. / Rancho Bernardo) drew a leadoff walk, moved to second on a grounder and scored on an error.
  • Allegheny answered in the bottom of the frame on an unearned run, as the leadoff hitter reach on a throwing error and scored two batters later on a single.
  • Brandeis senior Ragini Kannan (Westford, Mass./Westford Academy) coming off a five-inning no-hitter yesterday, relieved Jennings in the bottom of the fourth and continued her domination, throwing another six hitless frames.
  • Brandeis tied the game in the fifth as Manes picked up her third RBI of the day, plating Wallace, who had reached on a fielder's choice and stolen second.
  • With Kannan in command in the circle, the Judges had a chance to avoid extra innings in the top of the seventh. Rainey drew a two-out walk, then stole second. When the ball sailed into centerfield, she got aggressive on the bases and tried to score. The Gator CF threw a strike to the cutoff and the catcher made a nice play to get the tag at the plate.
  • In the eighth, courtesy runner Kaitlyn Larmann (Massapequa, N.Y. / Kellenberg Memorial) scored on a Baydian single, but AC answered without a hit in the bottom of the frame, as their courtesy runner was bunted to third, then dashed home when Kannan went to first on a comebacker, just sliding under the tag.
  • The Judges broke things open thanks to wildness from the Gators in the ninth, scoring five runs on just one hit – an RBI single by Wallace that dropped in between three fielders – along with five walks, two wild pitches, a passed ball, and a key dropped pop-up.
  • Kannan earned the win in the circle with six more hitless innings, extending her streak to 11 in a row. She struck out four, walked a batter and hit two and allowed one unearned run improving to 2-0 on the campaign.
  • Burdenski and Wallace each had two run scored, Wallace and Manes both drove in two, and Baydian had the team's lone multi-hit game.
 
UP NEXT
  • The Judges close their Florida trip with games on Sunday against Buena Vista (Iowa) and St. Joseph's (Maine).
