Softball Loses Series Finale at UMBC 11-10

Bearcats club four homers but Retrievers rally for victory

BALTIMORE, MD. – Host UMBC (10-21, 4-2 AE) scored a pair of unearned runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Binghamton (17-11, 3-2 AE) 11-10 in an America East softball game on Sunday afternoon at the Diamond at UMBC. With the victory, the Retrievers take the weekend series two games to one.

The Bearcats hit four home runs during the day, giving them 32 for the season. In the top of the first inning, they got back-to-back home runs by sophomore designated player Elisa Allen and freshman catcher Rachel Carey to take a 3-0 lead. Allen now has a conference-best nine home runs so far this season.

Later in the game, Binghamton trailed 9-5 but reeled off five runs in the top of the fifth inning. Junior outfielder Bella Farina and senior third baseman Sarah Rende both hit solo home runs during the frame and Carey capped the scoring with a two-run single.

Nursing a 10-9 lead, the Bearcats retired the first batter in the bottom of the seventh inning. It was a pair of errors later in the frame, however, that led to UMBC plating the tying and winning runs

Kya Matter improved to 6-8 with the victory while junior pitcher Olivia Kennedy fell to 5-8 with the loss.

Rende and Carey each went 2-for-4 on the day while graduate student outfielder Lindsey Walter was 3-for-4. In the process, Walter extended her hitting streak to a season-best seven games.

Binghamton is scheduled to play at Le Moyne on Tuesday for a 3 p.m. doubleheader.
