Gators Collect Road Sweep of John Carroll

UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, Ohio – The Allegheny softball team continued nonconference play on the road Tuesday (March 18), picking up a sweep of John Carroll.
 
The Gators won game one 3-0 and game two 5-2. The Allegheny pitchers combined to allow just three hits in the two games.
 
Game One - Allegheny 3, John Carroll 0
 
All three runs for the Gators came in the top of the first. Samantha Phillips (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mount Lebanon) led-off the game with a second, moving to second on a misplay. After Aleya Belardinelli (Melbourne, Fla./West Shore) drew a walk, Olivia Devries (Kent, Ohio/Field) singled to load the bases. Sofia Genareo (Lakewood, N.Y./Southwestern Central) hit into an error, allowing the first run to score. Then, with two outs, Alaina Sharp (Lewistown, Pa./Mifflin County) hit a single that plated Belardinelli and Devries.
 
The three runs proved to be all Allegheny needed to secure the win. Belardinelli carried a no-hitter into the bottom of the seventh until the Blue Streaks finally registered a single with one out.  John Carroll had two runners on in the inning, but the Gators shut the door for the win.
 
Inside the Box
  • Belardinelli allowed just one hit in seven scoreless innings, striking out seven batters. It marked the fifth one-hitter of her career.
  • Sharp delivered a RBI single.
  • Phillips and Devries had a hit and a run scored each.
  • Audrey Blarr (Clarence, N.Y./Clarence) and Avery Magee (Chandler, Ariz./Hamilton) registered singles.
Game Two - Allegheny 5, John Carroll 2 (6 innings)
 
Once again, the Gators got out to a fast start. For the second straight game, Phillips had a leadoff hit. An error on a sacrifice bunt by Belardinelli put her on base and moved Phillips to third. The Gators' then ran a double steal, which both players reached safely as Phillips scored the first run of the game. A Devries' double followed by a walk to Genareo loaded the bases for Blarr. Blarr would hit into an error, allowing Belardinelli to come across the plate. A sacrifice fly by Sharp drove in the third run. Allegheny loaded the bases up again with two outs. Halle Book (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Catholic) drove Genareo in on a single through the left side, making it 4-0.
 
The score remained 4-0 until the fifth inning. Sharp started the inning off with a double to right center. Book recorded her second RBI of the game later in the frame, bringing Sharp around to make it 5-0.
 
The Blue Streaks made up some ground in the bottom of the fifth as they scored twice.

The game was called after the sixth inning due to darkness with the Gators maintaining their 5-2 lead.
 
Inside the Box
  • Samantha Dzierba (Colden, N.Y./Orchard Park) earned the win for the Gators. In 4.2 innings of work, she allowed just two hits while striking out six.
