Softball
The Brandeis University softball team snapped Bowdoin’s seven-game winning streak with a doubleheader sweep on Sunday afternoon at Pickard Field. The Judges took game one 7- 3 before earning a 4- 3 win in game two.
Brandeis improved to 17-11, while Bowdoin fell to 20-10.
The Judges used a four-run fourth inning to take command in the opening contest, with Amanda Genovese delivering the big blow- a two out, bases loaded double that scored two runs to give the visitors a 5-1 lead.
Bowdoin closed the gap to 5- 3 with a pair of runs in the sixth frame on an error and a Gen Barlow infield single, but Brandeis replied with two runs in the top of the seventh as Marianne Specker and Lauren Porcaro lofted consecutive run-scoring doubles to seal the win.
Porcaro had three hits for the Judges, who got seven strong innings from Caroline Miller as she allowed just one earned run and three hits, while striking out nine in the win. Melissa DellaTorre took the loss for Bowdoin after permitting 12 hits and seven earned runs over six frames.
Brandeis jumped out to a 2- 0 lead in the second inning of the nightcap as Melissa Nolan blasted a solo home run and Genovese brought home Leah McWilliams with an infield single.
Bowdoin rallied to take its only lead of the afternoon in the bottom of the fourth, when Amy Hackett brought home Barlow on a sac fly and Casey Correa followed with her third homer in as many days — a two run shot to leftcenter — to give the hosts a 3- 2 edge. Porcaro answered in the top of the fifth for Brandeis with a leadoff solo home run to knot the score and the Judges manufactured the goahead run in the sixth when Casey Ducinski led off with a single, went to second on a bunt and came home on a Brittany Grimm ground out to give the visitors a 4-3 lead.
Miller took over from there, tossing a perfect two innings in relief of Nolan, who started the game. Miller struck out five of Bowdoin’s final six batters to earn the save. Nolan went five frames to earn the victory, permitting three hits and three earned runs with eight strikeouts.
Tricia Thibodeau took the loss for Bowdoin with four earned runs over seven innings of work.
