INSIDE THE BOX SCORE – GAME 1
  • La Spina's home run was the first of her career. 
  • The Penmen had seven hits in the game with Resetar going 2-for-2.
  • Freshman Hannah DeRock (Hunt, N.Y.) started in the circle, tossing three scoreless frames.  She allowed one hit, walking two.

  • Resetar went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored.

NOTES 
  • The Penmen lead the all-time series with Queens 3-1.  The teams had not met since 2014 in Clermont, Fla.   SNHU also beat the Knights in Coach Robitaille's first season, back in 2006.
  • Hammond tossed the first complete game of her career.  Last season, the sophomore worked almost exclusively out of the bullpen.  This year, she has made six starts.  The win was the ninth of her career.
  • The single by Hammond in the first game was the first hit of her career at SNHU.
  • With the win in the opener, McKechnie improved to 3-3 on the season.  The nightcap marked the first time this season she did not work in a game.
WHAT'S NEXT
  • The Penmen will make up a doubleheader at Chestnut Hill College on Sunday in Philadelphia.  The first game is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. 
  • The first home game for the Penmen is slated against The College of Saint Rose on Saturday, April 1.
