BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – In the final two games of the regular season, the University of Bridgeport's softball team (24-20, 17-5 CACC) tallied a pair of run-rule wins over Bentley on Wednesday. The Purple Knights finished with victories of 13-0 and 13-1 in nine total innings of action.
GAME ONE – Bridgeport 13, Bentley 0 (Five Innings)
The Purple Knights recorded three separate innings of four-run outbursts, including the second, third and fourth frames. All in all, they finished with 11 total hits and eight walks.
Madison D'Amato put forth her best game of the year with a 4-for-4, four-run, four-RBI performance. She hammered RBI singles in the second, third and fourth innings.
Mya Jones, meanwhile, launched her fourth home run of the season in the second. Jones' three-run bomb provided UB with a 5-0 lead.
Besides Jones' home run, Meg McFarland supplied Bridgeport's other extra-base hit courtesy of an RBI triple in the third. McFarland is now leading the team in batting average this season (.366).
Boasting a huge lead, UB's starting pitcher Kaite Burawski once again cruised. The left-hander surrendered just one hit across five shutout frames. She racked up seven of her outs courtesy of strikeouts.
Burawski improves her record to 13-9 this season with a 2.72 ERA and 190 strikeouts (2nd in the CACC).
GAME TWO – Bridgeport 13, Bentley 1 (Five Innings)
It was another offensive explosion in the second game of the day. Freshman Sydnee Perreault set the tone with a first-inning grand slam. Remarkably, Perreault also hit a first-inning grand slam on Monday against New Haven.
For the two games, Perreault ended up 3-for-3 with three walks, four RBIs and four runs scored.
Angela Oros was also sensational in the finale. The Arizona native went 3-for-3 with three RBIs and two runs scored. She registered her 200th career hit in the second game of the day.
Oros is now batting .365 this season with a team-high 34 RBIs.
The Purple Knights' attack was capped off by a three-run double from freshman McKenzie Morgan in the fourth inning.
Enjoying another massive lead, Vise Zarate picked up the win in the circle. Zarate has now tossed three-straight five-inning complete-game wins.
The California native allowed just one unearned run on four hits across five innings. She is now holding a 3.34 ERA this season in 115.1 innings pitched.
