Softball Lose Both at Redlands
Poets Back to .500 in SCIAC
Amanda Carrasco '10 went 3-for-6 with a double and an RBI,
but Whittier College lost both ends of a doubleheader at the University
of Redlands in SCIAC play on April 22. The Poets (21-15, 10-10)
lost game one 8-2 and fell in the nightcap, 9-1.
Mary Pacheco '10 led the Poets in game one, going 2-for-3
with an RBI and a walk. Erica Ureno '08 hit a solo home run
(4) and walked. Carrasco went 1-for-4 in the game. Deena
Arenas '08 (9-9) was credited with the loss after giving up eight
runs, five earned, on eleven hits and two walks in six innings pitched. |

Redlands scored one run in their first at-bats after a walk and a
double. The Poets answered back in the next inning, when Pacheco
drew a bases loaded walk to tie the score at one. Redlands
received all the run support they would need in the fourth inning with
three runs to take a 4-1 lead. They would add four more in the
sixth inning. Ureno hit a solo blast to left-center field in the
seventh, but that was the only offense the Poets could provide for a
comeback.
In game two, Carrasco came up with two of the Poets' three hits, going
2-for-2 with a double and an RBI. Winslow provided the other hit,
and scored a run. Vicky Ovieda '09 (12-7) pitched 4 and
two-thirds innings and allowed eight earned runs on nine hits and five
walks in the loss.
The Poets fell behind early once again, with the Bulldogs scoring twice
in the opening frame. They would add another run in the bottom of
the third. The Poets got on the board in the fourth when Carrasco
singled home Winslow. Redlands tacked on six runs in the bottom of
the sixth to end the game with a 9-1 score after the eight-run mercy
rule.
The Poets are at home for their next games; a doubleheader with the
University of La Verne on April 27. The first game is scheduled to
start at 2pm. |
