Softball Moves To 7-2 On The Season With Wins Over Missouri St. Louis And Findlay

Winter Haven, Fla.-After enjoying a day off in the Sunshine State on Tuesday, the University of Bridgeport softball team got back to action on Wednesday, and 48 hours after a dominant day in the pitching circle that saw UB hurlers notch a pair of shutouts, the Purple Knights brought out the big sticks on Wednesday to pick a pair of wins to run their season record to 7-2.  Bridgeport opened the day with a 5-3 win over the Tritons of Missouri St. Louis and capped the day off with a 9-3 win over the Oilers of the University of Findlay.

Against UMSL, senior Kaira Ramon (Stamford, Conn.) went 4-for-4 at the plate and junior Samantha Schiebe (Monroe, Conn.) crushed her third home run of the young season to help propel the Purple Knights to the victory.

Junior Kaite Burawski (Hartley, Del.) earned her fourth win of the season in the circle, and she added 10 more strikeouts to raise her season total 73 K's in 38 innings pitched.

In the victory over Findlay, Ramon added two more hits to give her six on the day.

Freshman Kalea Faulk (Corning, N.Y.) had two hits for the winners and slammed her first collegiate home run, and classmate Olivia Saccoccio (Coventry, R.I.) chipped in two base knocks for the Purple Knights to help power the offense.

Samantha Schiebe earned her second win of the season as pitcher against Findlay.

On Thursday, the UB softball team will continue its Spring Trip taking on Cedarville and Gannon beginning at 10:00 a.m. in Winter Haven, Florida.
