PHILADELPHIA – Taylor Trowbridge struck out the 250th batter of her career and the Saint Joseph's softball team broke open the game in the sixth inning on its way to a 9-1 victory against the Drexel Dragons on Wednesday afternoon.
 
BY THE NUMBERS

• With her second punchout of the day, Trowbridge hit the milestone, becoming the 10th player in program history to achieve the feat.

• Lauren Stalica and Hailey Peterson each drove in two runs.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Scoreless into the third, SJU got on the board on a sac fly from Meghan Sinkus that brought home Morgan Lester, who had singled to open then inning and then stole second.
• In the fourth, Peterson singled to lead off the frame and then came around to score thanks to a pair of Drexel errors. Tacking on another run in the fifth, Sinkus doubled and came across the plate on ground ball from Peterson to make it 3-0.
