Embry-Riddle Sweeps Tritons on Saturday

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - An early lead disappeared late in game one of a doubleheader as the Triton softball team was swept by Embry-Riddle, 3-2 and 7-3, to wrap up a weekend series at the Turley Athletic Complex.

Eckerd took a 2-0 lead into the fifth inning of the first game, but the Eagles scored three times in the fifth.  The Tritons missed their opportunity to tie the game in the sixth, stranding two runners.

In the finale, ERAU used a four-run third to build a 5-1 lead then added two more in the fourth.  Eckerd scored twice in the sixth but left the bases loaded before stranding two more runners in the seventh.

KEY MOMENTS
Game 1
  • Eckerd scored first in the opener on a solo home run by Crystal Garcia, her fourth of the year, in the bottom of the third.  The Tritons tacked on another run in the fourth on a two-out RBI double by Chelsea Armstrong.
  • ERAU's Maggie Scott delivered an RBI single in the top of the fifth to start a two-out rally.  Scott stole second, then scored the tying run on Kailah Rain's single.  Rain later scored the go-ahead run after advancing on two wild pitches.
  • The Tritons had the tying run in scoring position in the sixth after Meredith McGinnis walked and Dana Paul singled, but ERAU pitcher Lisa Hop coaxed a pair of pop-ups to escape the inning.  She then retired the side in order in the seventh with three more pop-ups in the infield.
Game 2
  • Eckerd again scored first, this time in the bottom of the first inning when a dropped fly ball in right field allowed Nikole Van Gennep to score from first.
  • The Eagles tied the game with a run in the second, then plated four runs in the third in five hits and an error.  Four of the first five batters in the inning singled before Janna Gaburo limited the damage in relief.
  • ERAU extended its lead to 7-1 in the fourth with three straight two-out hits.
  • The Tritons stranded two runners in the fourth and left the bases loaded in the sixth, but not before scoring twice.  Garcia was hit by a pitch with the bases full to bring in Emily Sawin, and Hannah Famiano's infield single drove in Avery Wakefield.
  • Eckerd threatened again in the seventh after a Dana Paul single preceded a Chelsea Armstrong walk to open the inning.  However, both runners were stranded as the Tritons left a total of 12 runners on base in the game.
NOTES AND NUMBERS
  • Garcia's home run in the opener was her fourth of the season.  No Triton hit more than five last year.
  • Eckerd tallied eight hits off Andringa in both games she pitched in the series. Those were the most she had allowed in a game all season.
  • Armstrong's double in the opener moved her into a tie for 10th place in program history for career doubles.
UP NEXT
The Tritons visit Florida Southern next weekend for a three-game conference series beginning on Friday at 7:00 PM.
