Softball Walks-Off Babson, 2-1, to Advance to the Championship Bracket of the NEWMAC Tournament

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - With the score tied at one in the bottom of the seventh with two on with two outs, first year Maggie Feng (Brookfield, Wis.) took a pitch from Cameron Whiteford (Centerville, Md.) into centerfield to give the No. 1 seed MIT softball team a 2-1 walk-off win over No. 2 seed Babson in the second round of the NEWMAC Tournament on Thursday afternoon on Briggs Field. The Engineers advance to the winner's bracket for the fifth-straight season with the win.
 
THE BASICS: 

  • Score: MIT 2, Babson 1 
  • Records: MIT (27-10 Overall), Babson (25-14) 

HOW IT HAPPENED:  

  • Feng walked to lead off the third and proceeded to steal both second and third base. Classmate Delaney Benevides (Plainville, Mass.) followed with a single to left to give MIT a 1-0 lead. 
  • Babson tied the game in the fourth on an RBI single from Sophia Pak (New Rochelle, N.Y.). They then looked to take the lead in the fifth on a ball off the bat of Maddy DeLong (Cranford, N.J.), but senior Kennedy Adkison (San Jose, Calif.) threw out DeLong at first to end the inning and keep the game tied.  
  • The Beavers loaded the bases in the sixth, but junior Caroline Langmeyer (Upper Arlington, Ohio) got out of the jam and left the bases loaded.  
  • Sophomore Arianna Kumar (San Diego, Calif.) reached on a one out error and then went to second on an Adkison groundout. First-year Amanda Huang (Redmond, Wash.) then pinch ran for Kumar and made it to third on another Babson error. Feng then stepped up and took a two-strike pitch into center field to give the Engineers the 2-1 walk-off win. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS: 

  • Langmeyer went the distance for her 16th win of the season. She scattered five hits with two walks and four strikeouts. 
  • Feng finished 2-2 with two stolen bases and an RBI. 
  • Benevides went 1-2 with an RBI. 
  • Moira O'Reilly (Columbus, Ohio) and Whiteford held MIT to just three hits. O'Reilly went the first four allowing one hit with three walks and two Ks. Whiteford suffered her seventh loss as she threw the final 2.2 innings allowing one run on two hits with no walks and one strikeout.
