Tritons Sweep Post in Twinbill

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Eckerd softball team used an all-around outstanding performance with a combined 22 hits, 16 runs, and 14 stolen bases offensively and 20 strikeouts in the circle to take the doubleheader from Post (Conn.), 9-4 and 7-1, at the Turley Athletic Complex Saturday afternoon. 

Eckerd plated three runs in the opening run of the first game on an RBI single by Ella Coiner and a pair of RBI doubles by Lauren Margolis and Brookly Cardona. 

Post evened the score in the second with three runs on an error and a two-run double. However, Margolis quickly gave EC back the lead in the bottom of the frame with a bases-loaded double putting EC up 6-3. 

Post added a run in the third, but Kinsley Castro delivered a bases-clearing pinch-hit three-run triple in the fourth to give EC a 9-4 lead. Brielle Benfield kept the Eagles' bats off-balance with 11 strikeouts. 

In the finale, the Tritons took a 1-0 lead in the second with a run scoring on an error before Post evened the score in the third. 

The Tritons took the lead with three runs in the fifth on a pair of RBI doubles by Brenna Lokeinsky and Coiner and a run scoring on an error. EC added three insurance runs in the sixth. Olivia Johnson shut down the Eagles with nine strikeouts.
