Allen Collects Three Hits as Pirates Down Butler in Extras, 2-1
3/28/2024 10:27:00 PM | Softball
Indianapolis, Ind. – Seton Hall improved to 9-1 over its last 10 games with a 2-1 victory over Butler in extra innings on Thursday afternoon at Butler Softball Field. Lela Allen (Phoenix, Ariz.) delivered the game-winning RBI single in the top of the eighth inning to give the Pirates the victory.
How it Happened
Kelsey Carr (Ridgewood, N.Y.) got the start in the circle for the Pirates and dominated once again. She worked three clean innings to start her day, allowing just two baserunners and one base hit. The only blemish on her record came in the fourth inning, as a home run from Paige Dorsett gave the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead.
The Pirates, who put runners on base in all but one inning on the afternoon, would level the score in the sixth. Carr doubled to open up the frame, and pinch runner Amber Johnson (Belfair, Wash.) would eventually move down to third after an infield single. Caroline Hobbes (Bay Shore, N.Y.) hit into a fielder's choice which allowed Johnson to come home with the tying run.
After Carr stranded the winning run in scoring position in the seventh, the Pirate bats went to work in the eighth to try and capture the win. Back-to-back singles from Olivia Gilbert (Johnston, R.I.) and Katey Brennan (Yardley, Pa.) opened the inning, and Hobbes would lay down a sacrifice bunt to move both into scoring position. LELA ALLEN stepped up and lined a single into center field, scoring Gilbert from third with the eventual game-winning run.
News & Notes
The Pirates and Bulldogs square off in game two of their series on Friday with first pitch set for 3 p.m.
