The Short Story: 

Under blue skies at Cole Field, the Ephs swept today's doubleheader against Trinity thanks to dominant pitching and explosive offense. Sadie Leonard threw a two-hit shutout in Game 1, recording 11 strikeouts, while a 7-hit, 6-run rally in the fourth inning powered the Ephs to a mercy-rule victory in Game 2. Williams pitchers allowed just three hits across both games. 

 

Coach's Take: 

"We played well in all facets of the game," said Eph head Coach Kris Herman. "[We] Played great defense and obviously hit the ball well up and down the lineup.  It was a lot of fun to get to eight runs in the second game and get some very important NESCAC wins."  

 

Game 1

How it Happened 

  • Trinity's offense had no answers for Sadie Leonard, who struck out 11 batters and allowed just two hits across seven shutout innings. It marked their 11th double-digit strikeout game of the season. Even when the Bantams loaded the bases, Leonard remained composed and pitched their way out of the jam.

  • Offensively, first-year Dani Jackman provided the spark for the Ephs in the bottom of the second, launching a two-run homer over the left field fence to score Justine Dunaway. 

  • Jackman had a standout day at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a home run and a double. Katie Blanch also contributed with multiple hits in the game.

 

Game 2

How it Happened 

  • Elyse Chan set the tone early with three perfect innings, retiring all nine batters she faced

  • Katie Blanch entered in relief and added two more scoreless innings to preserve the shutout

  • The Ephs broke things open in the bottom of the fourth with a massive offensive surge. Sydney Fleming got the scoring started with a solo home run to left field

  • Later in the fourth, Justine Dunaway drove in two with a single up the middle, followed by an RBI double from Vicky Trujillo Balderas and a two-RBI single from Sidney Miller

  • Williams added two more runs in the fifth. Emily Borrazzo singled to left to score Blanch, and Aleks Albert followed with an RBI single of her own to bring in Borrazzo, making the final score 8-0 in Williams favor
