Game 1 Boxscore | Game 2 Boxscore

GREENVILLE, NC -- The University of Delaware softball team split a pair of games during the first day of the Pirate Clash hosted by East Carolina University Friday afternoon.

Delaware (2-5) downed Elon 6-3 in the opener before falling to Marshall by a 3-0 score in the second game. The Blue Hens will continue action Saturday when they take on Binghamton at 11 a.m. and North Carolina State at 3 p.m. The tournament continues through Sunday.

The Hens snapped a four-game losing streak in the first game as they scored five runs in the fifth inning and banged out nine hits overall on the way to the comeback win over Elon.

After Elon scored two runs in the fourth inning to take a 2-0 lead, the Hens battled back with five runs in the fifth to put the game away. Winning pitcher Jenn Joseph (1-2), who scattered six hits to pick up her first win of the season and her 26th career victory, opened the inning with a double and scored the first run after Barbara Traynor singled, Michelle Plant was hit by a pitch, and Kelly Williams added an RBI single. Blue Hen freshmen Kathleen Lee and Allison Borchers (right) followed with back-to-back two-run singles to up the lead to 5-2.

Borchers, Traynor, and Williams all collected two hits each to pace the Blue Hen attack. Whitney Meeks took the loss for Elon, which fell to 7-8 on the season.

In the second game, Marshall pitcher Randi Nielsen held the Blue Hens to just two hits and struck out seven batters as the Thundering Herd improved to 7-6 on the season with a nine-hit attack.

Delaware got its only hits of the game on a first inning single by Plant and a second inning single by Borchers. Delaware's Carolynn Sloat (0-3) took the loss despite striking out eight batters. All of Marshall's runs were unearned, including a game-clinching run in the first when Jessica Williams reached second base on an error, moved to third on a passed ball, and scored on another passed ball. The Herd added single runs in the third and seventh for the victory.
