Softball Finishes Sweep of St. Bonaventure

PHILADELPHIA - The Saint Joseph's softball team had the final game of its series against St. Bonaventure pushed back to let the rain clear and then had to wait through an extra 45 minute delay after the updated start time, but the Hawks didn't miss a beat, toppling the Bonnies 14-2 in five innings. 

BY THE NUMBERS
  • Every member of the St. Joe's starting lineup had at least one hit as St. Joe's posted season-highs in both runs and hits.
  • Alivia Heers posted a career-high five RBI, connecting on a bases loaded double and a homerun. 
  • Jenna Currie also had a personal best driving in runs with four, part of a 2-for-3 effort. 
  • Elyssa Hasapis, Gianna Muhaw, Meghan Sinkus, Julia Shearer, and Morgan Lester has two hits apiece. Hasapis also scored three times and drove in a run.
  • The Hawks allowed just one earned run in the three games. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • It was St. Bonaventure who tallied the first run of the game, posting an unearned run in the top of the first. 
  • In the bottom of the frame, SJU sent 10 batters to the plate. Singles by Sinkus and Hasapis sandwiched a walk by Muhaw to load the bases. Shearer drove home the first run of the game for the Hawks with a single up the middle. Riley York followed with a bases loaded walk to force in another run. Currie drove in a pair with a single through the middle. The final run came across on a wild pitch. 
  • Four more runs scored in the second as Saint Joseph's loaded the bases for Heers who lined a ball over shortstop that rolled all the way to the wall, scoring all three runners. Next up was Lauren Stalica who singled down the rightfield line to plate Heers. 
  • In the third, St. Joe's found itself with a runner on second and two out. A single from York moved the runner, Hasapis to third before a single from Currie brought both runners home. Heers came up next and cracked her second homer of the season, pushing the lead to 13-1. 
  • The Bonnies scored in the top of the fourth, but SJU got the run back in the bottom of the inning on a Hasapis groundout. 
  • Shearer got the win, throwing 4.1 innings, allowing just one earned run. She did not walk a batter and struck out four.
