Box Score
CLINTON, NY — Cedar Blazek was 2 for 2
with two triples and Allison Hart went 3 for 4 with a three-bagger
Friday as the Williams College softball team posted a key 8-1
victory over Hamilton College in a NESCAC West Division match-up.
Williams improved to 12-18-1 overall, 5-2 in the NESCAC West,
while the Continentals slipped to 4-19 on the season. The two teams
meet again Saturday for a doubleheader beginning at noon.
Friday's game was a nailbiter for five innings. Both teams
scored one run in the first, and Williams held a slim 2-1 lead in
the bottom of the third when the Continentals loaded the bases with
no outs. Williams junior Mary Beth Daub came out of the bullpen to
relieve Eph starter Megan Casey, and went 3-0 on the first batter
she faced before recovering to strike her out. After a fielder's
choice erased a runner at the plate, Daub put the exclamation point
on her great escape with another strikeout.
The Ephs scored three times in the sixth and three more in the
seventh to account for the final 8-1 score.In the sixth, Weston led
off with a single and Amanda Correnti followed with a single before
Carly Ameen came up and stroked a two-run double for a 4-1 lead.
Emily Levy scored Ameen on a groundout later in the frame.
In the seventh, Kaitlin Dinet stroked a pinch-hit two-run
double. Hart was 3 for 4 with a triple and two runs scored. Blazek
tripled twice and walked twice, and Oriana Mcgee was 2 for 4 in the
win. Daub picked up the win by going five full innings, giving up
only three hits while walking no one and striking out four.
