Crudale helps RIC
softball grab win
Fifth-year third baseman Victoria Young (Sterling, Conn.) went a combined 5-for-8 with a pair of RBI as Rhode Island College fell in the first game of a doubleheader vs. UMass Boston.
The first game would remain scoreless until UMass Boston broke the game wide open with a four-run fifth inning due to a pair of singles and an error by the Anchorwomen.
The hosts would score one more in the bottom of the sixth as another RBI single gave the Beacons a cushion heading into the final inning up.
The Anchorwomen did not go away quietly as UMB walked the bases loaded for sophomore left fielder Melanie Earley (Lumberton, N.J.), who singled in a run. Young then singled through the left side for another RIC run before the hosts closed the door.
Senior pitcher Abby Kidd (Granby, Conn.) picked up the loss (6-4).
RIC went up in the second game, 2-0, in the first as senior shortstop Amanda Conti (Lincoln) knocked in one with an RBI single and Young brought in another with an RBI fielder’s choice. The visitors scored again in the second frame as junior center fielder Sophia Crudale (Cranston) notched an RBI ground out.
RBI from both Simmons and Crudale in the fourth inning staked the visitors to a 5-0 advantage.
The Beacons posted a three-run bottom of the fourth and tied the game at five with two runs in the sixth inning. The game was halted in the bottom of the eighth with a Beacon aboard at first due to darkness.
