Game 1: Elizabethtown 16, Regis 0 (f/5)
Elizabethtown (3-3) piled up 16 hits in the five innings against Regis. One of those hits was a trip around the bases for Fasolo, the first of her career. It was a two-run shot that scored
Christina Dark and it would be the only two runs the Blue Jays would need, although they weren't the only runs they'd put up.
Kady Johnson,
Brinley Schmidt,
Emma Varrato,
Tess Straight, Personette,
Amelia Lark,
Courtney Fitzsimons, and
Taylor Herman all had RBIs in the game. Personette finished with five runs batted in, a new single-game high, as was her four hits in five at-bats.
Johnson, Schmidt, Varrato, Lark, and Fasolo all had multi-hit efforts as the Jays scored seven runs in the second, two in the third, four in the fourth, and three in the fifth.
Sarah Hartinger pitched the final three innings of the game and got the win, the first of her career. Hartinger and
Alyssa Wilkinson combined for the one-hit shutout.
Game 2: Saint Vincent 10, Elizabethtown 8
E-town led after the first 2-1 on Personette's first homer of the season and the Jays' second of the day in total after Fasolo's in game one. Personette brought home Johnson after she reached on a one-out error.
Saint Vincent (5-3) grabbed the lead back in the fourth after tying the game at 2-2 in the top of the second. The Bearcats were up 4-2 until
Paige Phillips singled in Varrato to cut the deficit to 4-3.
Down 5-3 in the fifth, Elizabethtown posted five runs, highlighted by a throwing error that allowed all three Blue Jays' baserunners to score after
Kaitlyn Witmer singled to right. EC was up 8-5 needing six more outs for the win.
SVC showed its resiliency and got a run back in the sixth and four more in the seventh to go ahead 10-8. E-town had a chance to with one out and the tying run at the plate, but a ground out and a strike out ended the game before the Blue Jays could get any closer.
The softball team will have Thursday off before another pair of games on Friday. The Blue Jays play Dominican (Ill.) at 9 a.m. and New England College at 11:15 a.m.
