DATE: March 5, 2005

Game 1 Boxscore | Game 2 Boxscore

GREENVILLE, NC -- Freshman Allison Borchers (Fallston/Fallston, MD) knocked in three runs with a bases loaded triple in the second inning of the first game to lead the University of Delaware softball team to a 4-1 win over Binghamton and a split in their two games Saturday during the second day of the Pirate Clash at East Carolina University.

Delaware (3-6), which lost the second game of the day by a 3-1 score to North Carolina State, has posted a 2-2 record during the tournament and will be the No. 4 seed when the tournament single elimination playoffs begin Sunday at 9 a.m. Delaware will need to win three games to capture the title in the nine-team tournament.

The Blue Hens won the first game 4-1 thanks to a four-run second inning and the pitching of sophomore Carolynn Sloat (right). Delaware got all the runs it needed in the second inning as Michelle Plant was hit by a pitch with one out and Kelly Williams and Kathleen Lee reached base on errors to load the bases. Borchers, who collected three hits in two games Friday, cleared the bases with a three-run triple. Borchers then scored on an RBI single by Kelley Pastic to up the lead to 4-0. Pastic collected three hits in the game.

Sloat (1-3) scattered six hits and struck out eight batters to pick up the victory for the Blue Hens as Binghamton could only manage a single run in the third inning.

In the second game of the day, the Blue Hens battled Atlantic Coast Conference contender until the last inning before falling 3-1 when the Wolfpack's Heather Gelbard hit a two-run home run with two outs off UD starter Jenn Joseph (1-3) in the seventh inning. North Carolina State improved to 22-9 with the win.

North Carolina State jumped out to a 1-0 run in the first inning when Gelbard singled and scored on an RBI single by Lee Hasper. Delaware tied the score at 1-1 in the fifth inning when Randi Isaacs singled, Michelle Plant doubled, and Barbara Traynor hit a sacrifice fly to score Isaacs.

Joseph, who struck out six batters and allowed just six hits to a team that was averaging 10 per game, walked the N.C. State leadoff hitter in the seventh before getting two outs. Gelbard then hit Joseph's 2-1 pitch over the fence to win the game for the Wolfpack.

Shania Irvin picked up the win for North Carolina State, scattering four hits and striking out nine. Joseph, Isaacs, Traynor, and Plant picked up the Blue Hen hits.
