Carr's No-Hitter Highlights Doubleheader Sweep of Drexel
4/23/2024 7:58:00 PM | Softball
South Orange, N.J. – Kelsey Carr (Ridgewood, N.Y.) threw the 22nd no-hitter in Seton Hall softball history as part of the Pirates' doubleheader sweep over Drexel on Tuesday at Mike Sheppard Sr. Field. Carr, who came within one strike of a perfect game, struck out five and threw just 84 pitches in her outing to finish off Seton Hall's second no-hitter in the last two seasons.
Game 1: Seton Hall 6, Drexel 0
How it Happened
Carr got into a groove early, needing just 18 pitches to set down the first six batters of the game. The offense got clicking in the third, as Olivia Gilbert (Johnston, R.I.) sent one over the wall in center field for her sixth home run of the season.
Carr finished the fourth to set down the first 12 batters she faced on the afternoon. In the bottom half, Katey Brennan (Yardley, Pa.) extended the lead to 2-0 after an RBI single to center. Erin Howard (Skillman, N.J.) doubled the lead with a two-run single to right, followed by another RBI single from Andrea Perez (Corona, Calif.) to make it a 5-0 lead. Next inning, Lela Allen (Phoenix, Ariz.) ripped an RBI double to right to give The Hall a six-run lead.
Carr entered the seventh just three outs away from a perfect game. The first batter of the inning hit a high popup that looked destined to drop in for the first hit of the game. Perez ranged out from shortstop and made a miraculous over-the-shoulder catch to preserve the no-hitter.
With two outs and two strikes, Kalea Calugay worked a walk to end Carr's bid at a perfect game. However, the senior bounced right back with her fifth strikeout of the game to complete the no-hitter.
News & Notes
How it Happened
After two scoreless innings, the Pirates cracked the scoreboard in the bottom of the third. Carr ripped a two-run double to right center to open the scoring, followed by an Allen single to make it 3-0.
After Drexel got on the board in the fourth, the Pirates answered back with a five spot. Taylor Hill (Little Falls, N.J.) crushed a two-run double off the wall in left field to make it 5-1. A few batters later, Gilbert launched a three-run home run to center for her second home run of the doubleheader.
Sydney Babik (Gilbert, Ariz.) took the ball in relief in the fifth inning, setting down all nine batters she faced to solidify the 8-1 victory.
News & Notes
After an 11-game homestand, the Pirates head back on the road on Wednesday as they travel to West Point for a doubleheader against Army beginning at 2 p.m.
