ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – Pitching was the
story in the first game of the double header as Robert Morris
pitcher Alexa Bryson was strong throughout, allowing just two hits
in six innings, both to Brooke Frey, carrying the
Colonials to the 7-1 victory in game one.
St. Bonaventure also dropped game two, 7-2, as the Bonnies fall
to 8-19 on the season while Robert Morris moves to 21-15. The
Bonnies are home again tomorrow for a double header starting at 3
p.m. against Canisius.
After a rainy and cold weekend, the sun came out and the Bonnies
found themselves locked in a pitcher's duel in the early
innings. The Colonials tacked on one run in the first but
were held scoreless until the sixth when the scoring drought by
both teams was broken.
Robert Morris added on one run in the sixth which turned into
the game winning run on Ashley Calderone's single up the
middle to score Jaci Timko. The Colonials plated five more in the
top of the seventh to clinch game one.
The Bonnies' lone run of the game came from freshman
Jessenia Andujar's single to the left side.
She brought in Whitney Schlimm who pinch ran for
Sherri Thompson before a line out ended the
game.
Game two saw the Colonials scatter runs throughout the first
four innings, to lead 6-0 before the Bonnies tacked on a run in the
fifth. Schlimm sat on third after hitting her first career triple
and scored on sophomore Diana Phalon's first
RBI of the season.
Robert Morris added one more run in the final inning to lead
7-1. The Bonnies attempt at a rally fell short as Phalon
mustered her second RBI of the game as she plated Samantha Rajski. Rajski picked up her first hit of the season
with a double to left field.
Thompson earned the loss in seven innings of work, giving up 11
hits and six earned runs while striking out five. Sophomore
Erin Nargi got the loss in game two giving up nine
hits and six earned runs.
