Ephs Held Scoreless For First Time in 2022 against Middlebury

Location: Middlebury, VT
Records: Williams 9-8, Middlebury 10-6
 
The Short Story: Despite a strong, 3-for-4 performance from left fielder Tayler Wise '24 and a complete-game effort from pitcher Madison Mok '24, the Ephs didn't manage an extra-base hit and were shut out for the first time all season.
 
Coach's Take: "I think we're just wound a little tight, and individually, we're trying to do too much. We just need to take a deep breath and work on our process. Middlebury's a very good team, and they've been playing with a lot of confidence. We have to match that." – Kris Herman
 
How it Happened
  • The Panthers took advantage of an error by third baseman Kelly McGuigan '24 with a two-out single by designated player Tori Papaleo to take an early 1-0 lead.
  • After a wild pitch by Mok and a single by Middlebury left fielder Abby Santis plated two more Panther runs in the bottom of the fourth, third baseman Noelle Ruschil hit the game's only home run, a solo shot, to make it 4-0 Middlebury in the fifth.
  • The Ephs threatened with runners on first and second in both the fifth and sixth innings, but could not capitalize.
 
Inside the Box Score
  • Wise collected three of the Ephs' six hits, tying a season high and increasing her batting average to .385.
  • The Ephs committed three errors in total, only one of which resulted in an unearned run.
  • The Ephs went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position, while the Panthers went 3-for-11.
  • For the Panthers, starting pitcher Jewel Ashbrook threw a complete-game shutout, giving up six hits and walking four but striking out eight.
 
Next Up for the Ephs
  • The Ephs continue their three-game series against Middlebury with a doubleheader tomorrow, starting at 12:00pm. Williams will then travel to Smith on Tuesday for another doubleheader.
