Double Shutout Propels Marist Softball Past Fairfield

Metzger, Blanchard Hold Stags Scoreless in Doubleheader Sweep

NEW HAVEN, Connecticut – The Marist University softball team did not allow a run in its doubleheader sweep of Fairfield on Sunday at Albertus Magnus College to open Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play.
 
Ava Metzger tossed a shutout, and Haley Ahr drove in both runs in the Red Foxes' 2-0 game one victory. Stella Blanchard threw a shutout in game two, and Isabella Manory hit a two-run homer.
 
Haley Ahr had two hits in each game.
 
Game One
  • Marist opened the scoring in the top of the third. With one out, McKenna Manley drew a walk to cap a 15-pitch at bat. Manley was forced out on a fielder's choice by Peyton Pusey, who then advanced to second on a single by Annabelle Geiser. Haley Ahr's single then brought home Pusey.
  • With two outs in the top of the fifth, Ahr homered on the first pitch of her at bat, which made the score 2-0.
  • Ava Metzger went the distance, as she tossed a two-hitter with 12 strikeouts. Metzger retired eight straight batters between the first and fourth innings. She struck out the side in the third, and took a no-hitter into the fourth.
  • Marist finished with eight hits, led by Ahr with two.
 
Game Two
  • McKenna Manley led off the top of the third with a single, stole second, advanced to third on a single by Annabelle Geiser, and scored the game's first run on a single by Haley Ahr.
  • Samantha Rogers walked to lead off the fourth. Two batters later, Isabella Manory's two-run homer staked Marist to a 3-0 advantage.
  • Marist tacked on an insurance run in the seventh. Ahr singled with one out, and she scored the game's final run on a double by Rogers.
  • Marist had nine hits, led by Ahr and Manley with two apiece.
  • Stella Blanchard went the distance and pitched a one-hitter with five strikeouts. She did not allow a hit or walk over the final three innings, and needed just 88 pitches to complete her outing.
 
Records
  • Marist is 8-12 overall and 2-0 in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play.
  • Fairfield is 3-11 this season and 0-2 in the MAAC.
 
Up Next
  • Marist is scheduled for a home three-game series against Niagara next weekend.
  • The Red Foxes and Purple Eagles will play a doubleheader on Saturday, March 14 and a single game on Sunday, March 15.
  • First pitch both days is scheduled for noon.
