  • Senior Amelia Freitas (Plymouth, Mass.) - 13.0 IP - 4 H -  2 R - 1 ER - 4 BB - 8 K
  • Senior Jordyn Resetar (Hanover, Pa.) - 2-for-7, RBI
  • Junior Peyton Feldman (Foxborough, Mass.) - 3-for-7, 2 R, 2 BB
  • Senior Mackenzie Bruggeman (Trumbull, Conn.) - 1-for-5, R, RBI, 2 BB
GAME 1:  SNHU 2, New Haven 1 ( 11 innings)
  • The teams finished nine innings last Tuesday before the rains.  
  • The only hit Freitas gave up was a lead-off the game triple by Bella Chenet, who scored on a double play.
  • The Penmen tied the game in the fifth.  Singles by Resetar and Feldman, and a wild pitch, set the table for an RBI single for Bruggeman.
  • Teams receive a placed runner at second from the tenth inning on.
  • Both teams sacrificed to put a runner at third with one out, but neither team scored in the tenth.
  • New Haven failed to score in the top of the 11th.  Junior Sidney Rose (Davidson, N.C.) made a great play to tag the Charger runner after an errant throw on a grounder with two outs.
  • Rose started the bottom of the frame on second base, moved to third on a sacrifice by sophomore Kaysie DeMoura (Taunton, Mass.).
  • Donovan hit a blast that landed at the base of the wall in center field to win the game.
  • Breanna Kinney went the distance in the circle for the Chargers, allowing two runs, one earned, in 10.1 innings pitch.
GAME 2:  New Haven 6, SNHU 5
  • The Penmen struck for three runs in the bottom of the first inning.  
  • Feldman singled, Bruggeman walked, and DeMoura doubled to right field for the first run.
  • Donovan followed with a two-run single that made it 3-0.
  • Trailing 3-1 in the top of the fourth inning, the Chargers sent 10 batters to the plate, scoring five runs, all with two out.
  • Resetar had a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the inning to make it 6-4.
  • In the last of the sixth, sophomore Mikaya Alto (Chelmsford, Mass.) drove in a run with a single to cut the lead to 6-5.
  • Feldman walked to start the seventh and Bruggeman followed with a sacrifice.  The Penmen could not get the tying run home.
  • Skylar Griffin earned the win for the Chargers and Katie Rhodes picked up the save.  Sophomore Julianna Colbert (Burrillville, R.I.) took the loss.
NOTES
  • New Haven leads the all-time series 35-19.  The teams have split the doubleheaders each of the past three seasons.
  • Feldman has extended her hitting streak to ten games - Donovan has an eight-game streak.
  • Resetar leads the Penmen with a .369 average while Lineman is tops with five homers and 35 RBIs.
  • If the Penmen can hold onto one of the top four spots in Northeast-10 Conference, they would host a playoff game(s) next Tuesday, April 29.
WHAT'S NEXT
  • The Penmen will make-up a doubleheader with Southern Connecticut State University on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m.  These will be the final regular season games at home with the Penmen scheduled to finish up at Adelphi and Pace on Friday and Saturday.
