The Hall Splits On Day Two In Clearwater
3/10/2018 6:11:00 PM | Softball
CLEARWATER, Fla. – The Seton Hall softball team (12-11) split two contests on Saturday at the USF Series Under Armour Invitational. After an 11-7 setback to Northern Kentucky in its first game of the day, The Hall won a dramatic 10-inning marathon against Lehigh, 4-3, in game two. The Pirates now have one game left on their 11-game spring break trip to the Sunshine State.
Both Chrisa Head (Lewisville, Texas) and Alexis Walkden (Cibolo, Texas) went deep for The Hall against NKU as The Hall rallied for six runs in the bottom of the seventh inning before seeing their late comeback bid fall short. Against the Mountain Hawks, freshmen Janae Barracato (Hempstead, N.Y.) and Payton Beaver (Lake Stevens, Wash.) knocked in all four runs - including Beaver's game-winning go-ahead single to score Barracato in the top of the 10th inning. Overall on Saturday, the freshmen duo combined for nine hits in two games.
Game 1– Northern Kentucky 11, Seton Hall 7
The Pirates close their spring break trip and run at the Under Armour Invitational tomorrow when they take on Central Michigan at 9 a.m.
