Softball Swept by Springfield

THE BASICS:

- Scores:
Game 1: Springfield - 3, No. 24 MIT - 2
Game 2: Springfield - 6, No. 24 MIT - 4

- Records: MIT (16-11, 7-3 NEWMAC), Springfield (25-5, 8-0 NEWMAC)

- Location: Cambridge, Mass. (Briggs Field)

- The Lead: The No. 24 MIT softball team dropped two NEWMAC contests on Saturday afternoon to Springfield College.

HOW IT HAPPENED – Game One
 
- The Pride struck first with an RBI double in the top of the first to take a quick 1-0 lead.
 
- MIT tied the game in the third on a single to right by sophomore Rylie Spiegel (Bradenton, Fla.).
 
- In the sixth, the Pride scored two runs to regain the lead, but once again MIT responded as a single from junior Haley Samuelsen (Houston, Texas) brought the Engineers back to within one.
 
- Springfield looked to extend its lead in the seventh, putting two runners on but first-year Becca O'Connor (San Antonio, Texas) kept it a one-run game.
 
- Sophomore Mackenzie Relihan (Naperville, Ill.) singled to right to put the tying on base for MIT, however, Gillian Kane retired the next two batters to give the Pride the 3-2 win.
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
 
- Spiegel, Samuelsen and junior Jordan Sell (Schwenksville, Pa.) led MIT with two hits in the game.
 
- O'Connor falls to 7-3 as she pitched 4.2 innings allowing two hits, two runs (both unearned) with one walk, and two strikeouts.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED – Game Two

- The Engineers grabbed a 3-0 lead in the second on an RBI single from Samuelsen and a two-RBI triple from Spiegel.
 
- Springfield got one run back in the third on an RBI single, but Relihan scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the frame to put MIT back up by three.
 
- Five unanswered runs from the Pride gave them a 6-4 and they would hold onto the lead to complete the doubleheader sweep.
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
 
- First-year Mikayla Cable (Valrico, Fla.) led the Engineers with two hits in the game, and Spiegel's two RBI give her 16 on the year, good for second on the team.

UP NEXT:

- The Engineers will return to the field on Wednesday, April 20 as they will host Salve Regina in non-conference action at 3 p.m. on Briggs Field.
