ANCHORWOMEN SEE WINNING STREAK STOPPED AT 22 GAMES
Riley’s NCAA Consecutive Win Streak Stopped at 43 Games
|
|
Providence, RI—The
Rhode Island College softball team split a Little East Conference
doubleheader with Keene State on Sunday afternoon at the Dayna A.
Bazar Softball Complex. Rhode Island College saw its 22-game winning
streak come to an end with a game two loss. Rhode Island College
senior pitcher Nicole Riley (North Providence, RI) also saw
her NCAA Div. III softball consecutive win streak stopped at 43
games. |
|
|
|
Riley
was masterful in game one, notching her 20th win of the
season, allowing four hits, while striking out eight, to earn her
ninth complete game shutout in the Anchorwomen’s, 3-0, win. RIC took
the lead right out of the gates as junior first baseman Christie
Lotti (Waterford, CT) singled and eventually scored on junior
third baseman’s Krystal Bilek’s (Fitchburg, MA) RBI sacrifice
fly. Bilek gave the Anchorwomen an insurance run with an RBI single
down the first base line in the third, while Lotti scored on a wild
pitch in the seventh to round out RIC’s offensive output. Keene
State junior starting pitcher Erin Fuoroli (Warwick, RI) took
the loss (8-4), allowing three runs, two of which were earned, on
seven hits to go along with five strikeouts. |

|
Keene
State junior pitcher Ashlee Nicholson (Swanzey, NH) did what
only one other team has done to RIC all season, shutting out the
Anchorwomen, 4-0, to earn her ninth (9-0) win. Nicholson fired a
four-hit shutout with nine K’s. Riley was the hard luck loser
(20-1), surrendering a leadoff solo home run to junior catcher
Melissa Scata (Medway, MA) in the second inning. She left after
three innings, giving way to sophomore Justine Burgess (Uxbridge,
MA). Junior shortstop Julia May (Deep River, CT) broke
the game open in the fifth, with a two-out, two-RBI double to center
field. Back-to-back one-out doubles by junior first baseman Kaity
Conklin (Selkirk, NY) and sophomore left fielder Ashley
D’Amato (Bristol, CT) gave Nicholson another insurance run. |

Rhode
Island College is currently 27-3 overall and 7-1 in the Little East,
while the Owls are 18-4 overall and 5-3 in league action. |
|
|
|
This
will be an important week for the Anchorwomen, who play four
doubleheaders, three of which are against Little East opponents,
beginning with Tuesday’s tilts at Western Connecticut. The Owls will
hope to host their first games of the season when they square off
against UMass Boston on Tuesday, Apr. 24. |
