Pirates Fall to Rutgers in Second Leg of Season Series

Box Score

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – The Seton Hall softball team (18-26, 6-15) fell in five innings to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (23-25), 10-0, in the second leg of this year's home-and-home series on Wednesday afternoon.

How It Happened
In this road clash, the Pirates quickly found themselves in a deep hole after Rutgers came out swinging. A three-run first inning by the Scarlet Knights, which included a two-run home run, bled into a four-run second to put The Hall down 7-0.

The bigger issue for the Pirates, however, was that they could not find any recourse at the plate. Through four innings, Seton Hall had not managed a single baserunner.

The opposition only grew stronger when Rutgers added another three runs in the bottom of the fourth to make it a 10-0 game. Naya Martinez would break up the perfect game with a walk in the fifth inning, but the Pirates could not muster a rally and fell 10-0 in five innings.

News & Notes

With the loss, the Pirates move to 18-26 on the season and 6-15 in BIG EAST play.
The Hall moves to 22-47 against Rutgers all-time.
Without a hit today, Angelina Benitez's record-breaking hitting streak ends at 23 games.

What's Next
The Pirates will close out BIG EAST play on the road with a three-game road series at the St. John's Red Storm, beginning on Friday, April 24. First pitch for game one is set for 3 p.m.
