Softball Takes Two From Wheaton

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT softball team put up 26 runs and hit two home runs in a doubleheader sweep of Wheaton on Friday afternoon on Briggs Field.  
 
THE BASICS:

    • Game 2: MIT 13, Wheaton 7 
  • Records: MIT (13-5 Overall, 4-2 NEWMAC), Wheaton (19-7 Overall, 4-4 NEWMAC) 

HOW IT HAPPENED – GAME ONE: 

  • The Engineers used an 11-run third inning to secure the victory. 
  • Senior Mikayla Cable (Valrico, Fla.) singled home the first run of the day in the first inning and first-year Delaney Benevides (Plainville, Mass.) knocked in the second run of the day for MIT in the second inning. 
  • Senior Kennedy Adkison (San Jose, Calif.) tripled to lead off the third and came around to score on a single by classmate Mackenzie Bivin (San Diego, Calif.) to make it 3-0. Sophomore Arianna Kumar (San Diego, Calif.) doubled home two more runs which put the Engineers up 5-0. The big hit of the inning came off the bat of junior Ava Ladd (Houston, Texas) whose grand slam put MIT up 13-0. 
  • Grace DiBacco (Selkirk, N.Y.) led off the fourth with a double and scored the lone run of the day for Wheaton on a single by Peyton Blankenheim-Brown (Rio Linda, Calif.). 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS: 

  • Ladd finished the day 2-2 with two runs scored and career-high four RBI.  
  • Benevides, Adkison, and sophomore Nicole Johnston (St. Charles, Ill.) all recorded two hits in the game for the Engineers. 
  • Junior Caroline Langmeyer (Upper Arlington, Ohio) improved to 6-1 with four innings of three-hit ball. She allowed just one run with one strikeout. 

HOW IT HAPPENED – GAME TWO: 

  • A double from Bivin and a two-run single from junior Olivia Scarpaci (Staten Island, N.Y.) put the Engineers up 3-0 after one. 
  • The Lyons took their first lead of the day scoring four runs in the top of the third, but MIT responded with four runs in the bottom of the inning to regain the lead. First year Maggie Feng's (Brookfield, Wis.) two-run homer with two outs put MIT up 7-4.  
  • Bivin's infield single scored Cable for the eighth Engineer run in the fourth. Wheaton got to within two in the fifth off RBI hits from Juliette Zito (Woodbridge, Conn.) and Ella Molinari (Grafton, Mass.) but Langmeyer got out of the jam to keep MIT in the lead.  
  • MIT put up five runs in the sixth to put the game out of reach. Kumar knocked in the 11th run for MIT on a double and scored the 12th run of the day on a triple from Scarpaci, who scored on a sacrifice fly for the last run of the day for MIT.
