Rindge, N.H. (April 23) -- Led by a complete-game two-hitter by senior Jenn Lattal (Windsor, Conn./Windsor), the Assumption College softball team ran its winning streak to six straight with a 5-0 shutout victory over Franklin Pierce in Northeast-10 divisional play on Wednesday afternoon.

Assumption got on the board with two runs in the top of the third as the Hounds put together four hits in the frame. Senior Tanya Robidoux (Hooksett, N.H./Manchester Central) led off the inning with a single up the middle, followed by a bunt single by junior Jess DiPilato (Worcester, Mass./Holy Name). Sacrificed over, Robidioux scored on an RBI single by senior Nikki Boris (Gardner, Mass./Gardner), followed by an RBI double to right by sophomore Kayli Moniz (Fairhaven, Mass./Fairhaven) to score DiPilato.

The Hounds added single runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to wrap up the 5-0 shutout and capture the three-game divisional series with the Ravens by a 2-1 margin. In the fifth, a single up the middle by freshman Ashley Abad (Bedford, N.H./Bedford) scored Boris. An RBI single by DiPilato in the sixth made it a 4-0 margin, followed by an RBI double to left by junior Andrea Crowley (Norfolk, Mass./Ursuline Academy) to score Moniz for the fifth and final run in the top of the seventh.

Lattal has now allowed one run or fewer in four of her last five starts, including a pair of complete-game shutouts as she improved to 6-5 after allowing just two hits with one walk and three strikeouts vs. the Ravens.

Ravens starter Mandi Adee went six innings in the loss, scattering nine hits while allowing four runs with five walks and three strikeouts.

DiPilato, Boris and Moniz each posted two hits in the game to lead the Assumption offense.

With the win, Assumption is now 16-17 overall and 9-9 in divisional play, while Franklin Pierce drops to 11-18 overall and 7-10 in the division.

Assumption is back in action on Friday, April 25th as the Hounds host Southern New Hampshire for a 3 p.m. divisional doubleheader at Marois Field.
