GAME 1:  SNHU 3, Mercy 0
  • The Penmen improve to 4-0 all-time against Mercy.  The teams had last met in Florida in 2018.
  • SNHU scored a run in the top of the first inning.  Junior Peyton Feldman (Foxboro, Mass.) reached on a hit and error, moving to third on a groundout by senior Mackenzie Bruggeman (Trumbull, Conn.).  DeMoura delivered the single that scored Feldman.
  • The Penmen took advantage of an error by Mercy to score the game's other two runs.  Lineman singled and sophomore Grace Jenkins (Groton, Conn.) laid down a bunt.   Mercy fielded the ball, but overthrew second base looking for a force and the ball carried all the way to center field allowing both Lineman and Jenkins to score.
  • In the circle, Colbert allowed only a lead-off single in the first and Donovan allowed two hits to earn the save while working the final three innings.
GAME 2:  Bridgeport 5, SNHU 2
  • After giving up three runs in the top of the first inning, SNHU rallied to make it 3-2 with a pair of runs in the fourth.  DeMoura singled, scoring on a triple by Donovan.  Lineman followed with a single.  
  • The Penmen struggled to move base runners in a strong effort in the circle by Bridgeport's Kaite Burawski, stranding six runners on base.
  • Freitas recorded a career-high nine strikeouts.  She allowed just two unearned runs after the Purple Knights struck in the first inning. 
  • Bridgeport owns a 26-9 all-time mark against the Penmen and have now won four straight and nine of the last ten.
NOTES
  • The Penmen went 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position in each game, stranding 10 on-base in the two games.
  • Bruggeman saw her hit streak snapped at eight games.  DeMoura now has the longest active streak on the team at four games.
  • Bruggeman still leads the team with a .361 average and .500 slugging percentage.
  • DeMoura and freshman Alyssa Abbott (Hudson, N.H.) top the squad with eight RBIs in the first 10 games.
