Softball Drops Twinbill At Wagner

Box Score

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Wagner downed Mount St. Mary's twice in a Northeast Conference (NEC) softball doubleheader on Sunday. The Seahawks (5-21, 3-7 NEC) won the opener 4-2 and then took the nightcap, 2-0.

Chloe Mizianty (Carlsbad, Calif./Carlsbad) paced the Mount (9-21, 1-7 NEC) with three hits and a run scored while Courtney Mason (Smithtown, N.Y./Smithtown East) went 2-for-2 in the second game.

Judy Betz picked up a pair of wins on the afternoon for Wagner after not allowing an earned run (two unearned runs) with five strikeouts in two complete-game efforts. Amanda Garcia had two hits and three RBIs while Kristen Matteoni posted two hits and three runs scored on the day.

Wagner took the advantage and then rallied for two runs in the fifth to break a 2-all tie to earn a 4-2 win in the opener.

After Mount St. Mary's tied the game in the third, the Seahawks reclaimed the lead for good with two runs in the fifth thanks to an RBI double by Ashley Olsen and a Brittany Huss run-scoring single up the middle.

Wagner took an early 2-0 lead with two runs in the first inning. Garcia smacked a two-run double to give the Seahawks the advantage.

In the third, the Mount answered with two runs to knot the opener at 2. Taylor Beebe (Olympia, Wash./Capital) reached on a fielder's choice and Mizianty doubled to left center before Courtney Zingle (Ambler, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) plated Beebe when she reached on an error and Mizianty touched home on a double-steal attempt. The Seahawks then scored twice in the fifth to come away with the victory.

Amanda Sadowl (Horsham, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) started for the Mountaineers and took the loss after pitching 4.1 innings with two strikeouts. Nicole Pagano (Berlin, N.J./St. Joseph) pitched the final 1.2 innings with two strikeouts.

In the second game, Wagner posted a run in the third and a run in the fourth and held the Mountaineers off the scoreboard to complete the two-game sweep. Jamie El-Aazami broke a scoreless game with an RBI bunt play in the third before Garcia hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth for the two runs in the game.

The Mount's best threat in the contest came in the sixth when the squad loaded the bases with one out. Mason singled up the middle and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt before Mizianty walked and Zingle singled to left field to load the bases. Betz got out of the jam with a pair of infield pop ups.

Amanda Hanson (La Plata, Md./St. Mary's Ryken) pitched her best game of the season, allowing two runs on four hits with one strikeout in a complete-game loss.

Mount St. Mary's returns to action on Tuesday at Our Lady of the Meadows Field against UMBC. Game time is 2 p.m. Starting with the doubleheader against the Retrievers, the Mount will be at home for seven of the final nine series, including four-straight teams coming to Emmitsburg.
