Softball Swept by New Haven in Doubleheader

Mandi Adee turns in strong outing in game one despite suffering loss

MANCHESTER, N.H. (April 6, 2014) – The Franklin Pierce University softball team was held to a combined three hits in a pair of games on Sunday, as the Ravens were swept by New Haven in a doubleheader by scores of 1-0 and 8-0 at SNHU Field in Manchester, N.H.

The Chargers improved to 20-6 overall and 12-4 in the Northeast-10, while Franklin Pierce fell to 4-10 and 3-5 in league play.

Sunday's game one was tightly contested throughout despite the Ravens recording just two hits. Sophomore pitcher Mandi Adee (Kinderhook, N.Y.) kept Franklin Pierce in the game with a strong performance in the circle, as she went the distance despite suffering the loss to fall to 2-5. She struck out four and scattered nine hits over 7.0 innings of work, and was only touched up for one run in the second when Jess Spivey roped an RBI double to left field, scoring Gilly Childs on the play.

Courtney Caputo (Stony Brook, N.Y.) and Ashley Noke (Cumberland, R.I.) each stroked a single for Franklin Pierce, but could not push across the one run needed to force extra innings. Nicole King picked up the win in the circle for the Chargers by yielding just the two hits over 7.0 innings of work.

New Haven continued its outstanding pitching in game two, as Victoria Cabral took a perfect game into the fifth inning, but with one out in the frame, she lost her bid at the historic performance as Jamie Wiley (Cape Vincent, N.Y.) ripped a double to the wall down the left-field line. Despite the hit, Cabral picked up the win by striking out eight.

The Chargers scored four runs each in both the third and fourth innings to set the eight-run rule into effect, as the contest lasted just five innings. Lindsey Couturier got the barrage started in the third with a two-run home run, while Brooke Fisher and Julie Devlin each added a solo shot in the frame. Couturier highlighted the fourth with a two-run double. Tricia Hansen (Mansfield, Mass.) took the loss in the pitching circle for Franklin Pierce.

Franklin Pierce returns to action Tuesday when the Ravens play host to Saint Anselm in a doubleheader in Rindge beginning at 3 p.m. at the Melissa Bisaccia Memorial Softball Complex.
