Gators Sweep on Day Two in Florida

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. – The Allegheny softball team swept a doubleheader on day two of their trip to The Spring Games in Florida Monday (March 3).
 
In the first game, the Gators defeated Eastern, who received votes in the most recent National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division III Poll, 7-1. In game two, they collected a 16-3 win against Emmanuel.
 
Game One - Allegheny 7, Eastern 1
 
The Gators got to work early, scoring four runs in the first. Samantha Phillips (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mount Lebanon) and Aleya Belardinelli (Melbourne, Fla./West Shore) led-off the game with back-to-back singles. Olivia Devries (Kent, Ohio/Field) then drove a ball to deep center, driving Phillips home and moving Belardinelli to third. A sacrifice fly by Sofia Genareo (Lakewood, N.Y./Southwestern Central) brought Belardinelli across the plate for the second run. After Devries advanced to third, starting pitcher Madison Hulse (San Diego, Calif./Rancho Bernardo) singled through the left side, scoring Devries for the third run. Hulse took second on a passed ball and came in on a RBI single by Audrey Blarr (Clarence, N.Y./Clarence) as the Gators pushed their lead to 4-0.
 
Cameron Long (Midlothian, Va./Midlothian) started the second with a double on a ball that dropped down the foul line in shallow right field. Walks to Phillips and Belardinelli loaded the bases for Devries. Devries hit a sacrifice fly to center as the lead reached 5-0.
 
The Eagles threatened in the bottom of the second after a lead-off single, but the Gators got out of the inning unscathed.
 
The Gators added another run in the fifth. Catherine Burkett (Harborcreek, Pa./Harbor Creek) pinch ran after a single by Avery Magee (Chandler, Ariz./Hamilton). She was driven in by Blarr. They added another one in the sixth to make it 7-0. Belardinelli came across the plate on an RBI single by Devries.
 
Eastern added a run in the sixth but a 1-2-3 seventh inning by Hulse gave the Gators the 7-1 win.

Game Two - Allegheny 16, Emmanuel 3
 
Emmanuel loaded the bases in the top of the first and pushed across a pair of runs.
 
The Gators more than made up the two runs in the bottom of the frame. Phillips was hit by a pitch to start the inning. Belardinelli then reached and moved to second on an error while laying down a bunt. Devries was walked and a wild pitch on ball four allowed Phillips to score. Genareo then drove Belardinelli in on an all-safe fielder's choice to tie the game. The rally continued as Blarr knocked Devries in. A RBI groundout by Rachel Seneca (Harrisburg, Pa./Bishop McDevitt) made it 5-2 before Alaina Sharp (Lewistown, Pa./Mifflin County) delivered her first collegiate hit, a RBI double to left center. Long ended the scoring in the frame with a RBI single to center, giving the Gators a 6-2 lead.
 
In the second, Devries hit a leadoff single. Abby Tomkowski (Midland, Pa./Lincoln Park Performing Arts) pinch ran for her and stole second. Blarr drove her in on a RBI single, increasing the lead to 7-2. Then with Sharp and Blarr aboard, Long singled up the middle plating both runners. Halle Book (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Catholic) then knocked Long in on a single to left field as they  took a 10-2 lead into the third.
 
Belardinelli walked in the third before Genareo hit an infield single. Burkett entered to pinch run for Genareo. With two outs, a throwing error allowed both runners to score and Seneca to reach second. Sharp hit her second double of the contest to bring Seneca around.
 
In the fourth, Kylie Thompson (Saegertown, Pa./Saegertown) reached on an error and Ashlynn Robinson (Currituck, N.C./J.P. Knapp) pinch ran for her. After a pinch hit single by Julia Perillo (New Fairfield, Conn./New Fairfield), a hard hit ball down the third base line brought Robinson around from second. Morgan Kinney (Brunswick, Ohio/Brunswick) was walked in a pinch hit appearance to load the bases. Blarr drove in two more runs off a single towards the shortstop.
