Williams 0, Wesleyan 1
Location: Middletown, CT
Records: Williams 17-9; Wesleyan 12-12
The Short Story:
Despite strong pitching and defensive performances, the Ephs were unable to generate anyoffensive momentum, falling 2–0 in the opener and 1–0 in the second game. Pitcher Sadie Leonard continued their hot streak, throwing their twelfth double-digit game of strike outs thisseason.
Coach's Take:
"At the plate we need to be tougher outs. That's really it. Our pitching was really good and kept us in both games but our offense just wasn't able to get the job done."
