Junior Leine McKechnie (Passadumkeag, Maine) tossed a two-hit shutout in the opener and saved the nightcap.  Junior Ari Ferrier (Middleboro, Mass.) knocked in all three runs in SNHU's 1-0 and 2-0 doubleheader sweep of Saint Rose Monday in the home opener.

KEY MOMENTS -GAME 1
  • McKechnie went the distance, allowing only a pair of third-inning singles enroute to the shutout.  She pitched out of that two-on, one-out jam, retiring 14 of the final 15 batters.
  • The Penmen scored in the fourth inning, loading the bases on a single by junior Alyssa DiMauro (Chester, N.H.), and walks to junior Shannon Gifford (Goffstown, N.H.) and senior Abi Gray (Litchfield, N.H.).  Ferrier singled to left field to make it 1-0.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE – GAME 1          
 
  • McKechnie walked two and struck out a career-high nine batters.
  • Freshman Jenna Plue took the loss for Saint Rose.
  • DiMauro finished 2-for-3
  • Freshman Peyton Feldman (Foxboro, Mass) went 1-for-2 with a walk.
KEY MOMENTS -GAME 2
  • The Penmen stranded seven runners through the first three innings despite not recording a hit. 
  • An infield single by freshman Gianna LaSpina (Bellmore, N.Y.) came with one out in the bottom of the fourth.  Freshman Olivia Mason (Derry, N.H.) pinch-ran, and Feldman followed with a single.  A bunt by senior Bryn Garczynski (Norwood, Mass.) moved the runners up and Ferrier singled to make it 2-0.
  • After allowing a lead-off double in the top of the fifth, sophomore Gwyn Hammond (Los Angeles, Calif.) yielded to McKechnie, who finished up for the save.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE – GAME 2
 
  • Feldman went 2-for-4 and scored a run.
  • Hammond (W, 3-5) allowed three hits and walked two, striking out two.
  • Bella Milazzo (L, 4-4) went the distance for the Golden Knights. 
 
NOTES 
  • The Penmen are 20-10 all-time against Saint Rose, including wins in four straight.
  • Ferrier entered the doubleheader with four career runs batted in.  After coming through with the game-winning single in the opener, she was elevated to third in the line-up for the nightcap.
  • DiMauro has the team lead with a .348 average with 23 hits in 66 at-bats in 22 games.
  • Feldman, by going 3-for-6, is now hitting .333.
  • The shutouts were the first of the season for the Penmen. 
WHAT'S NEXT
  • The Penmen will be back in action on Tuesday (4/4) when they play a doubleheader with Le Moyne College starting at Noon.
