WORCESTER, Mass.—The Assumption University softball team dropped a pair of games to No. 22 Pace University in Northeast-10 Conference action Tuesday afternoon at Normand R. Marois '57 Field.
THE BASICS
Game One Score: No. 22 Pace University 3, Assumption University 0
Game Two Score: No. 22 Pace University 4, Assumption University 2 – 8 Innings
Records: Greyhounds (14-20, 7-5 NE10), Setters (28-8, 12-0 NE10)
HOW IT HAPPENED:
Game One Score: No. 22 Pace University 3, Assumption University 0
Pace was the first team to score, as they plated one run in the top of the first before adding runs in both the third and the sixth to go up 3-0. Besides a leadoff double by
Kaitlyn Cahill in the bottom of the first, Assumption only threatened in the bottom of the sixth, as they got two runners in scoring position with zero outs in the frame. Reigning NE10 Pitcher of the Year, Gisselle Garica, would proceed to get a strikeout, foul out, and a fly out to extinguish the threat.
The Greyhounds' pitching staff allowed just five hits and one earned run in 7.0 innings of work.
Game Two Score: No. 22 Pace University 4, Assumption University 2 – 8 Innings
In game two, Assumption was able to manufacture two runs in the bottom of the first inning, as they capitalized on three Pace errors.
After more than an hour of rain/lightning delay, Pace got on the scoreboard with a two-RBI single to tie the game in the top of the fifth. The Setters would go on to add two more runs in the top of the eighth to secure a 4-2 win.
