March 5, 2010

Box Score

CLEARWATER, Fla. - The Saint Joseph's softball team opened play in the Under Armour Tournament at the University of South Florida on Friday. The Hawks topped Ball State, 2-1, in the opening game.

In game one, the Hawks jumped out to a 2-0 edge with a pair of runs in the second inning. Sophomore Bernadette Moran scored Saint Joseph's first run, scoring from third on a wild pitch by Ball State's Audra Sanders.

The Hawks added their second run of the inning as freshman Taryn Ashway scored on a RBI single by classmate Dana Parks.

Saint Joseph's sophomore pitcher Erin Gallagher pitched a strong 4.2 innings of work, but the Cardinals charged a run to her as they scored their lone run on a bases-loaded walk.

Ashway, who walked in the Ball State run, settled down and held the Cardinals in check, going 2.1 strong innings to preserve the win for the Hawks and earn the save. Gallagher was credited with the win to improve to 3-2 on the year after allowing just two hits and striking out five.

The Hawks continue play at the University of South Florida Under Armour Tournament against Radford (5 p.m.) and Toledo (7 p.m.).
