Rollins Takes Series Opener in Extra Innings

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - A four-run eighth inning by Rollins broke a scoreless tie and ended a pitchers' duel between Nikole Van Gennep and Ashley Worrell as the Tars took the opening game of a weekend series from the Eckerd softball team, 4-0.

Van Gennep and Worrell were both able to bear down in tight situations through the first seven innings to head into extra innings in a scoreless tie.

In the eighth, the Tars finally found a solution with four consecutive run-scoring singles and Worrell took care of the rest in the bottom of the inning.

HOW IT ENDED
Final: Rollins 4, Eckerd 0 (8 innings)
WP: Worrell (14-3)  LP: Van Gennep (6-14)
Records: Eckerd 11-23 (3-13 SSC); Rollins 28-5 (12-4 SSC)

KEY MOMENTS
  • The Tritons threatened in the bottom of the first after singles by Kaylin Kramer and Ally Costa put runners on the corners with two outs, but Worrell got a groundout to strand both.
  • Rollins put a runner at third in both the second and third innings, but Van Gennep got out of the inning both times without allowing the run to cross home.
  • Eckerd had runners at second and third with one out in the fourth after Skylar Redish was hit by a pitch and Ally Costa laid down a bunt single before both moved up 60 feet on a sacrifice bunt. Avery Wakefield then hit a sinking line drive at the second baseman, who made a shoestring grab and doubled off Redish at third.
  • With the game still scoreless heading into the home half of the seventh, Eckerd put the winning run at second base after Wakefield walked and Meredith McGinnis was hit by a pitch. Worrell again escaped the jam, however, getting Hannah Famiano to foul out to left field.
  • The Tars finally got to Van Gennep in the eighth with four straight one-out RBI singles. Redish drew a two-out walk in the bottom of the inning but was stranded.
NOTES AND NUMBERS
  • Van Gennep struck out six batters while reaching 400 career strikeouts in the process.  She is just the second pitcher in Triton history to record 400 strikeouts.  She also finds herself needing 15-2/3 innings to become the program's all-time leader in innings pitched.
  • Kramer and Costa each had a pair of hits.
  • Tonight's game was the sixth extra-innings contest for Eckerd this season. The Tritons are 1-5 in those games, all of which ended in the eighth inning.
UP NEXT
Eckerd and Rollins conclude the weekend series with a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at noon.
