Softball Takes Two In Wilmington

Haff, Phippen Combine For 27 Strikeouts

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – The Marist softball team won a pair of games in the Seahawk Softball Challenge on Saturday. The Red Foxes defeated host UNC Wilmington, 5-1, in their first game of the day, and then topped Robert Morris, 3-1, in their second contest.
 
Freshmen and outstanding pitching led the way for the Red Foxes on Saturday. Against UNC Wilmington, freshman Meghan Haff struck out 13 and tossed a two-hitter. Freshman Hannah Brock drove in three, reached safely three times, and scored two runs.
 
Against Robert Morris, freshman Shea Walsh delivered a clutch two-run homer, while sophomore Calista Phippen struck out 14 and tossed a five-hitter.
 
Marist now stands at 6-7 on the season.

  • Haff recorded four strikeouts in the bottom of the first.
  • UNCW's Janel Gamache opened the scoring with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the second.
  • Marist tied the game in the third when Brock reached on a walk, and later scored on an error.
  • Brock's three-run triple in the fourth brought home Ali Milam, Hunter Hand, and Shea Walsh. This gave the Red Foxes the lead for good.
