Olivia Banulski (Bristol, Conn.) finished 2 for 2 with three runs scored, while rookie shortstop
Brianna Dalton (Northampton, Pa.) went 2 for 3 with three runs scored and three RBIs. In the circle, junior
Tracey Balinskas (Edison, N.J.) struggled, but earned the win to improve to 5-7 on the year.
Game 2: Molloy 6, Bridgeport 5The Purple Knights went up 3-0 following two home runs, but that would be their final lead of the game as the Lions scored five unanswered. Molloy's final two runs of that burst was courtesy of a home run from freshman
Sarah Rambo (Eagleville, Pa.). Behind 5-3, Meghan O'Leary tied the game with a two-run homer of her own in the sixth inning. In the bottom of the seventh, the Lions were able to plate the deciding run when freshman
Bernadette Mullane (Bellmore, N.Y.) singled to center field, scoring Dalton.
In the circle, sophomore
Chelsea Hawks (Wading River, N.Y.) improved her record to 5-5 after going 4.2 innings, giving up two runs.
