Ephs go 1-1 against RPI

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The Williams College softball team competed in a pair of pitchers' duels against RPI Wednesday, as the Ephs earned a 2-1, 10-inning win in Game 1 and the Engineers responded with a 2-1, seven-inning triumph during the second game at Cole Field.

The Ephs (17-10, 7-1 NESCAC) were phenomenal on defense, not committing a single error in the doubleheader. Williams held a 13-9 advantage in hits on the day.

The first game proceeded to extra innings scoreless, and then RPI (17-9, 4-2 Liberty League) opened the scoring in the top half of the eighth on a one-out, RBI single down the left-field line by leadoff hitter Sydney Speanburg.

Williams evened the game at 1-1 in its half of the eighth, as first-year Haley Barrett crossed home on an RBI sacrifice fly by junior Justine Dunaway. Barrett delivered again in the clutch during the 10th inning, blasting the game-winning, one-run single to left, allowing first-year Ayane Rokugawa to cross home with the winning run.

Senior captain and starting pitcher Sadie Leonard earned the complete-game win, giving up no earned runs and striking out a career-high 19 batters. Callie Volker went the distance in the circle for the Engineers and also did not allow any earned runs.

Sophomore Aprill Medrano went 2-of-4 batting for the hosts, while Evann McDowell finished with a 2-for-3 effort for the visitors.

During the second game, Williams was led by first-year leadoff hitter Miya Fujimoto (2 for 4) and Barrett (2 of 4). Starter Ava Markert earned the complete-game victory in the circle for the Engineers, giving up one run and seven hits, while striking out four and not walking a single batter.

Junior Katie Blanch led off the bottom of the fourth with a single to right, and then scored three at-bats later on an RBI off a fielder's choice by sophomore Aleks Albert.

Lauren Cosselman and McDowell blasted solo home runs in the fifth and sixth, respectively, giving RPI the one-run victory.

The Ephs compete against No. 14-ranked Colby on Saturday in a doubleheader, with game times set for noon and 2 p.m. in Waterville, Maine.
