Griffin Spins Two-Hitter As Penmen Earn Split of DH with Saint Anselm

Gray's RBI single in the seventh lifts SNHU to a 1-0 win Sunday

When and Where: April 10, 2022 - Manchester, N.H.  (South Atlantic Fields)
Game 1: Saint Anselm College 6, Southern New Hampshire University 0
Game 2: Southern New Hampshire University 1, Saint Anselm College 0
Records: SNHU 13-13 (7-3 NE10), Saint Anselm College 14-11 (7-3 NE10)
(Manchester, N.H.) - Graduate student Chloe Griffin (Scarborough, Maine) spun a two-hitter, and junior Abi Gray (Litchfield, N.H.) singled in the top of the seventh to drive in the game's only run as SNHU earned a split of a doubleheader at Saint Anselm 1-0.  The Hawks won the opener of Sunday's twin-bill, 6-0, leaving both teams 7-3 in the Northeast 10.  

GAME 1 - Saint Anselm 6-0
  • The Hawks took control with five runs in the bottom of the third inning.  A walk and a bunt single set up the first run with a single by Ava Caputo to make it 1-0.  Gracie O'Hara knocked in a pair of runs with a single, and Bre Klaiber hit a two-run homer.  Caputo knocked in another run with a double in the bottom of the fourth inning.
  • The Penmen had just two hits in the opener against winning pitcher Haile Hicks (W, 12-2), who tossed her fifth shutout.
  • Gray led off the sixth inning with a single to break up a no-hit bid, and senior Brittany Mota (Lowell, Mass.) singled in the seventh.
  • Sophomore Leine McKechnie (Passadumkeag, Maine) took the loss to fall to 4-3, working the first three innings.  Freshman Gwyn Hammond (Los Angeles, Calif.) worked the final three innings, allowing one run.
GAME 2 - SNHU 1-0
  • Pitching was the name of the game in the nightcap with Griffin and Sophia DiPippo matching goose eggs until the top of the seventh inning.
  • Mota reached on an error to start the decisive frame.  Sophomore Ari Ferrier (Middleboro, Mass.) pinch-hit and bunted Mota up to second.  Gray followed with a single to produce the run.
  • Griffin then returned to the circle and set down the Hawks in order to secure the win, and her second career shutout.  Griffin walked one and struck out three.
NOTES
  • The Penmen had a six game win streak snapped in the opener.   SNHU finished a road swing with a 7-1 record.
  • SNHU leads the all-time series with the Hawks 47-46.  
  • Mota now leads the Penmen with a .300 average with 18 hits in 60 at bats.  
UP NEXT 
  • The Penmen will return to the SNHU Softball Field on Tuesday to play Franklin Pierce University in an NE10 doubleheader that starts at 3 p.m.
