History

Los Angeles, Calif. –  The Stevens Institute of Technology softball team used a pair of four-run innings to sweep a doubleheader at Occidental on Sunday, winning the first game 6-3 and the finale of their season-opening California trip, 7-4.

Stevens (2-2) put four on the board in their final at-bat in Game 1, then scored all seven runs between the third and fifth innings of Game 2.

How it Happened – Game 1

Entering the fifth trailing 3-0, Stevens went to work chipping away at the lead. With one out, Emma Quattrochi singled and took second on a throwing error, then stole third before Carmelita Murphy-Brown walked. Pinch-runner Isabelle Won and Quattrochi pulled off a double steal, with Quattrochi plating the Ducks’ first run of the game. Won scored three batters later on a two-out single from Allison Mitloff.

Still down one in the seventh, Won led off with a single, then went first-to-third on an Adrianna Albano sac bunt. Maria Dante took full advantage of the RBI opportunity, tying the game with a single to center. Dante went to third and Mitloff wound up on second following a fielder’s choice + throwing error, and Madison DiSarno became the beneficiary, plating both for a 5-3 lead with a single back up the middle. After Jessica Hsu reached on a fielder’s choice, Isabela Lipsky made it 6-3 with a double to left.

Hsu, the Ducks’ starting pitcher, closed out a 120+ pitch complete game, working around a one-out single in the bottom of the seventh.

How it Happened – Game 2

Down 2-0 after two, Stevens got its first run of the game in the top of the third when Dante drove in Kacey DiPasquale with another RBI single, who’d been hit by a pitch, with one out after Mitloff had singled her into scoring position. Next up stepped Lipsky, who delivered the biggest swing of the entire day, flipping the game with a three-run homer for a 4-2 Ducks’ lead. The Tigers pulled to within one in the bottom of the inning, but the Ducks’ bats came alive once again in the fifth.

Mitloff led off with a triple to left, then scored on a DiSarno bunt single, with the first-year moving to second on a throwing error. After Dante singled, then stole second, Lipsky walked to load the bases. Two batters later, Quattrochi produced the second-biggest hit of the game with a two-run double, plating DiSarno and pinch-runner Lilian Cournoyer.

In the bottom of the sixth, Occidental had the bases loaded and the go-ahead run at the plate, but Kyra Fischer escaped the threat, inducing a fly out to center. Fischer worked around a one-out error in the seventh to close out the win and sweep for the Ducks.

Inside the Box Score(s)


Riley Lawrence finished the day 3-for-7 and handled all 15 total chances at shortstop without committing an error
Mitloff went 3-for-8 across both games with three runs scored
After walking four of the nine batters she faced yesterday, Fischer walked just one of the 36 faced on Sunday
Quattrochi stole three bases in Game 1 without being caught, and is now 22-for-23 since the start of last season
