\n\tScoring took a long time to come along in game one, as the two teams were held to a combined one hit through the first two innings.
\n\tIsabella Coulman<\/a> and Brianna Estevez<\/a> tallied the first two hits of the game in the third inning for Manhattan in that order, but an immediate fielder’s choice thwarted any momentum.\u00a0
\n\tContinuing her dominance, starter Karissa Spring<\/a> kept the Fordham bats at bay, holding the Rams to that sole hit through four frames.\u00a0
\n\tIn the top half of the fifth, Natalye DeBus’<\/a> single through the middle brought home Angelina Gencarelli<\/a> to score the first run of the game.
\n\tConsecutive hit-by-pitch’s from Sophia Kiseloski<\/a> and Lainey Brown<\/a> with the bases loaded brought two more runs to the plate, stretching the Jasper advantage out to three by inning’s end.\u00a0
\n\tThe most amount of pressure that came Spring’s way was in the home half of the sixth, when the bases became loaded after a walk with one out.\u00a0
\n\tPerforming when it mattered most, Spring got her next two batters to hit into an infield fly and strikeout to end the inning.\u00a0
\n\tFordham went down 1-2-3 in the seventh to end the matinee, giving Manhattan a 3-0 victory.\u00a0
<\/p>\n
\n\tContrary to game one, the nightcap started with some immediate scoring, as the Rams scored two quick in the opening inning.\u00a0
\n\tAn RBI single and double in the third and fourth frames, respectively, doubled the initial lead for Fordham at 4-0 before an extra run came home on an error.\u00a0
\n\tNow facing a 5-0 deficit to start the fifth, Samantha Kelly<\/a> took advantage of having two runners in scoring position by blasting an RBI single through the middle of the infield to score Gencarelli.\u00a0
\n\tMadison Douglass<\/a>, not to be outdone, followed up her act right away with an RBI single of her own to score Coulman.\u00a0
\n\tDespite another single in the sixth, the Jaspers were unable to generate any more offensive opportunities, ending the game at 5-2.\u00a0
\n\tNatalye DeBus’<\/a> subsequent groundout ended the afternoon by a final score of 10-1.\u00a0
<\/p>\n
\n\tFreshman utility player Natalye DeBus<\/a> led the team in hits with four, including her RBI single in game one.\u00a0
\n\tSophomore utility player Brianna Estevez<\/a> fell just behind with three, including two in the opening game win.\u00a0
\n\tJunior pitcher Karissa Spring<\/a> netted her fourth win of the season after going a complete seven innings while allowing zero earned runs off of two hits, while striking out five on 117 pitches.\u00a0
