History
MILTON, Mass. – The University of Hartford softball team had its nine-game winning streak come to an end as the Hawks split a doubleheader with Curry Sunday.
GAME ONE: CURRY 6, HARTFORD 5
Three consecutive errors to start the seventh inning jump started the Curry rally that enabled the Colonels to scored three unearned runs to steal the opener.
Hartford did all of its damage in the fifth inning as the frame began with back-to-back walks. Freshman
Alexis Sealey singled home a run, and then another run came home on a passed ball. Graduate
Mara Sczecienski drove home a pair of runs, and then scored the fifth run on an RBI single by freshman
Adelie Beebe .
Curry, which scored a run in the first, answered with two in the fifth to set up the seventh-inning heroics.
Freshman
Alex Hassett (2-2) allowed five runs, two earned, on three hits over 2.1 innings of relief. She had five strikeouts and two walks.
Sophomore
Gia Miccio led the offensive attack, going 3-for-4, while Sealey, Sczecienski, and junior
Azya Walker all had two hits.
GAME TWO: HARTFORD 6, CURRY 0
Sophomore
Carly Mayhood was dominant in the circle, allowing just a bloop single in recording back-to-back complete-game shutouts. She finished with 10 strikeouts, marking her third double-digit strikeout performance of the season.
An RBI double by sophomore
Taylor Fitch broke a scoreless tie, and then the Hawks put four insurance runs on the board in the sixth inning. Junior
Olivia Wolk , who scored the game's first run, tripled home a run in the sixth and scored on a Fitch single. Sealey had a two-run double in the inning to cap the scoring for the inning.
Wolk ended the scoring with a solo shot in the seventh. She finished 4-for-4 with three runs, a triple, a homer, and two RBI.
INSIDE THE BOX & NOTES
The four hits were a career-high for Wolk, and the eighth time this season she recorded at least two hits.
Fitch now has two multi-hit games on the season, coming in back-to-back starts.
Sczecienski had her hitting streak come to an end at 16 games.
