NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Southern Connecticut State University softball squad dropped two games to LIU Post, 6-2 and 11-2 (5 innings) at Pelz Field. The Owls fall to 1-11 overall, while the Pioneers improve to 12-4.
 
The Owls duo of Sara Buscetto (Waterford, Conn.) and Liz DeRosa (Hudson. N.H.) kept their bats hot as they extended their hitting streaks to five games. Buscetto went 3-for-6 on the day with two runs scored and one stolen base, while DeRosa went 3-for-6 including a homerun and added three RBI and one run. 
 
GAME ONE
  • LIU opened the game scoring off a single to left field. DeRosa got the Owls on the board when she hit an RBI single to right field and tied the game at one all.
  • The Pioneers counterattacked in the third inning off a single giving them a one-run lead. 
  • DeRosa's bat stayed hot in the fourth inning as she hit a solo homerun to left field to tie the game at 2-2.
  • LIU scored four unanswered runs between the fifth and sixth innings to capture the 6-2 victory in game one of today's home opening doubleheader.
 
GAME TWO
  • The Pioneers scored first in game two as Abbey Fortin singled to score Allie Laird. LIU added six runs in the third inning to take a commanding 7-0 lead.
  • DeRosa flew out to left field, but speedy Buscetto was able to zip home and get the Owls on the board.
  • Freshman Jacqueline Dumont (Nashua, N.H.) hit an RBI single to score fellow first-year Alexa Bacoulis (Monroe, Conn.). 
  • LIU added four unanswered runs in the fourth inning sealing their second victory of the day in five innings.
