Pitching Leads Softball to Twinbill Sweep

PHILADELPHIA - The Saint Joseph's softball team held the top offense in the Atlantic 10 to a pair of runs as the Hawks swept a doubleheader from the George Washington Revolutionaries, winning game one 6-0 and taking the second contest, 4-2. 

BY THE NUMBERS
  • The combination of Taylor Trowbridge, Jules Scogna and Marla Freiwald held a George Washington offense that came into the day leading the A-10 in batting and was second in runs off the scoreboard for the first 10 innings of the day and to two runs in total.
  • Hailey Malito and Sarah Cancila each had four hits. Cancila had a homerun and four RBI.
  • Hailey Peterson went 2-for-3 with a homer, two walks and four runs scored.

HOW IT HAPPENED IN GAME ONE
  • The Hawks got on the board in the second on a two out single from Kayla Tauber, bringing home Hailey Peterson, who had singled and moved to second on a wild pitch. 
  • In the third, Sarah Cancila led off with a double and came across the plate one batter later when Hailey Malito singled through the middle for a 2-0 SJU lead. 
  • The fourth inning saw St. Joe's strike again as after falling behind in the count, Peterson worked an impressive walk and again moved to second on a wild pitch. Two batter later, Tauber roped a double down the rightfield line, scoring Peterson.
  • Next up was Cancila who singled to center, bringing home Tauber, increasing the advantage to 4-0. 
  • Saint Joseph's used the long ball to extending the lead in the sixth as both Sierra Fretz and Peterson hit solo homers, pushing it to 6-0 Hawks. 
  • For all of the offense, the game belonged to Trowbridge (9-8) who tossed her third shutout of the season. The junior from Mesa, Ariz. scattered five hits in the contest and tied a season-high with seven punchouts. 

HOW IT HAPPENED IN GAME TWO
  • SJU wasted no time as Sarah Cancila bunted her way on and moved to third on a single from Malito. Riley York came up and smacked a sac fly to left, bringing in Cancila for the opening run of the contest.
  • George Washington found its way onto the board with a pair of runs in the fourth. 
  • The bottom of the order got things started in the fifth for St. Joe's. A walk by Peterson and a hit by pitch to Kasi Loser were followed by a sac bunt from Tauber, putting runners on second and third. After working the count in her favor, Cancila connected on her third homer of the year, putting the Hawks up 4-2. 
  • Scogna (6-3) tossed five innings to earn the win Freiwald went six up, six down to notch her fifth save of the year. 
  • The five saves for Freiwald are the second most in St. Joe's single-season history, .
