Softball Drops Season-Opening Doubleheader At SCSU

New Haven, CT-The University of Bridgeport softball team opened its 2010 campaign on Monday afternoon, and the Purple Knights were swept in doubleheader at Southern Connecticut State University (2-0), as the Owls took game one, 8-0, and completed the sweep with an 8-5 win in the nightcap. Both games were five-inning affairs.

 

In game two, freshman Taylor McBeth (Langley, B.C., Canada) and junior Tori Tenzyk (Hawthorne, NY) each blasted solo home runs. Sophomore Katie McMitchell (Port Coquitlan, B.C., Canada) helped the UB offense in game two with two RBIs and a double.

 

Junior Madison Smith (Seekonk, MA) took the loss for the Purple Knights in game one, and freshman Alitha Krolikowski (Bristol, CT) was the game two hard-luck losing pitcher.
