TOP PERFORMERS GAME 1:  MOLLOY 4-1
  • McKechnie held the Lions hitless into the sixth inning, but SNHU's five errors led to a loss.

  • The Penmen tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning.
  • Lineman singled and freshman Grace Jenkins (Groton, Conn.) came on to run.  Senior Shannon Gifford (Goffstown, N.H.) bunted her to second and DiMauro singled as Jenkins scored.
  • Molloy broke the tie after picking a single by Katie Hand in the sixth inning.  Another error led to two unearned runs.
  • The Lions tacked on another run in the seventh.
NOTES:
