Delaware Softball Falls To Cornell, 4-3, In Opener But Rebounds For 5-0 Win In Nightcap

Date: March 13, 2005

Game 1 Box | Game 2 Box

NEWARK, DE -- The University of Delaware softball team dropped its opener to Cornell, 4-3, Sunday afternoon but rebounded to shut out the Big Red, 5-0, in the nightcap as the teams split a doubleheader at Delaware Field.

Cornell, which is now 3-4 on the season, jumped out to an early lead in the first game by scoring two runs in the opening inning. Jenna Campagnolo led off with a single and Ashley Wolf followed with a walk, and two outs later Samantha Hare walked to load the bases. Erin Kizer then singled up the middle to score two runs and give the Big Red an early advantage.

Lauren Battaglia led off the top of the second with a single, and after Kristen Landis bunted for a hit, Campagnolo tripled to right center to plate Battaglia. However, the Blue Hens nailed Landis at the plate to keep it a three-run game. After UD freshman centerfielder Katie Lee (Manassas, VA/Osbourn) made a diving catch to keep Cornell off the scoreboard in the third, the Big Red loaded the bases in the fifth with nobody out on a double by Lauren May and walks by Caitlin Warren and Hare. Blue Hen senior starter Jenn Joseph (Wilmington, DE/Brandywine) got the next two batters to strike out, but Battaglia reached on an error by Delaware freshman shortstop Kimberly Williams (Circleville, OH/Circleville) to plate May before Lee threw out Warren at the plate to keep it a 4-0 game.

The Blue Hens, who are now 5-8 this year, rallied in the bottom of the sixth with three runs to pull within one. Lee led off the inning by beating out an infield single, and freshman second baseman Allison Borchers (Fallston, MD/Fallston) followed with a bunt single. After senior rightfielder Kelley Pastic (Centreville, VA/Chantilly) flied out, Joseph tripled to right center to score Lee and Borchers. Freshman first baseman Barbara Traynor (Wheaton, IL/Wheaton Warrenville South) then doubled to right to plate Joseph and knock Cornell starter Jen Lesczinski out of the game.

However, reliever Jenn Meunier retired the next two batters and threw a perfect seventh inning to pick up the save as the Big Red held on.

Lesczinski recorded the win by allowing three runs on seven hits in 5.1 innings, while Joseph fell to 1-5 after giving up four runs, three earned, on 10 hits while striking out six and going all seven innings.

Delaware jumped on Cornell early in the nightcap, scoring four runs in the bottom of the first. Pastic singled with one out, and after she stole second, Pastic advanced to third when Joseph reached on an error. Traynor then singled to center to plate Pastic, and a bunt single by sophomore third baseman Michelle Plant (Woodbridge, VA/Woodbridge) loaded the bases. Joseph then scored when Williams was hit by a pitch, and senior leftfielder Lauren Gardner (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford) followed by singling through the left side to score Traynor. After a pop out Lee singled into rightfield to score Plant with the Blue Hens' fourth run of the inning.

Delaware loaded the bases with one out in the third on a singles by Plant, Gardner, and freshman catcher Erin Stough (Seven Valleys, PA/Dallastown Area), and after Meunier replaced Cornell starter Whitney Smith in the circle, Lee struck out before Borchers worked a walk to score Plant.

That would prove to be more than enough for sophomore starter Carolynn Sloat (Ballston Lake, NY/Shenendehowa) -above-, who threw her first shutout of the season by scattering six hits and walking just one while striking out four to improve to 3-3 on the year. Smith took the loss for the Big Red as she allowed five runs, three earned, on eight hits in 2.1 innings of work.

Plant led the Delaware attack by going 3-for-6 with a pair of runs scored on the day, while five other Blue Hens posted two hits.

Delaware returns to action on Wednesday when the Blue Hens travel to Pennsylvania for a 2 p.m. doubleheader with the Quakers.
