WORCESTER, Mass. – The Assumption University softball team used a pair of walk-offs to complete a Southern Connecticut State University sweep Monday afternoon at Normand Marois Field. 
 
THE BASICS
Game One Score:  Assumption University 2, Southern Connecticut University 1
Game Two Score:  Assumption University 3, Southern Connecticut University 2
Records: Greyhounds (13-9, 7-1 NE10), Owls (9-13, 3-5 NE10)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
GAME ONE – Assumption University 2, Southern Connecticut State University 1
Southern Connecticut was the first team to threaten, as they loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the third inning, but Kaelin Waldron proceeded to get a flyout, a fielder's choice, and a strikeout to get out of the jam unscathed. In the bottom half of the frame, the Greyhounds got two runs in scoring position with just one out in the inning, but the Southern Connecticut pitcher Jessica Perucki got a strikeout and a ground out to keep the game scoreless. 
 
The Owls would once again load the bases in the top of the fifth inning and get one run, thanks to a 1-2-3 inning-ending double play. The Greyhounds tied the game in the bottom of the sixth inning when Summer Sheerin beat out an infield hit to shortstop, scoring Lauren Geremia on the play. 
 
Kaelin Waldron got the start for the Greyhounds, as she allowed one run in 4.1 innings while striking out five. Anna Tassone earned the win after pitching 2.2 scoreless innings in relief. 

GAME TWO – Assumption University 3, Southern Connecticut State University 2
Assumption was the first team to score, as Jordan Dwyer drove in Raigan Gregoire with a bunt single in the bottom of the fourth inning. Kaitlyn Cahill scored in the fifth inning on a sacrifice bunt by Lauren Geremia, making it 2-0 Greyhounds. 
 
It would take the Owls until two outs in the top of the seventh inning for them to get on the board, as Gabriella Festa had a two-RBI double to center field to tie the game. The game would not last long into the bottom of the seventh, as Cahill led off the frame with a double to left center field before advancing to third on a wild pitch. Geremia walked off game two for the Greyhounds as her single went underneath the third baseman's glove, Plating Cahill on the play. 
 
Samantha Hardwick was credited with a no-decision, as she went 6.1 innings and allowed two runs and five hits. Tassone earned the win, giving up one hit and recording two outs.
