Game-One Long Balls Help Softball Split with #15 Stockton

GAME ONE
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Montclair saw a golden opportunity to score right at the top of the first inning as JAYLA VASQUEZ, SOPHIA ALONSO, and CARLEE IANNONE all worked walks. Stockton forced a triple play that eliminated any damage.
  • KATIE BRUNNER came through for Montclair in the top of the second. She opened the frame and belted a ball over the center-field fence to give Montclair a 1-0 lead.
  • The Ospreys sought to even the score in the bottom of the second. Two walks and a single down through the left side loaded the bases with one out, but the Red Hawks got out of the jam with a lineout to CARLY MOCKENHAUPT and a groundout to MOLLY COLLIGAN.
  • Both teams put a runner in scoring position in the fourth inning. Brunner collected a base hit through the left side and advanced to second on a single to left field, but both were left stranded. Stockon hit a lead-off single to center field and moved the runner to third on a sacrifice bunt and a ground out, but could not drive her home.
  • The Red Hawks threatened again in the fifth inning. With one out, a fielding error in center field allowed Alonso to reach and advance to second. Brunner and LIZ MULLEN each walked to load the bases again, but saw another three runners stranded.
