SB: Panthers drop openers at #15 Eastern Connecticut

MANSFIELD, Conn. – Plymouth State University softball got off to a difficult start dropping both games of a season-opening, non-conference double header to #15 Eastern Connecticut State University at Clyde Washburne Field on Thursday night.
 
The Warriors, who entered the night with a perfect 6-0 record, took the opener by a 10-0 score, then rallied past the Panthers in the nightcap, 7-3.
 
Plymouth State, playing its first games since March 12 of last year, drops to 0-2, while the Warriors improve to 8-0. The two teams will meet again on Saturday (Mar. 27) for another twin bill. Those games will count as Little East Conference (LEC) league games in the conference standings.
 
The Basics:
  • Game 1: Plymouth State 0, Eastern Conn. St. 10 (6 inn.)
  • Game 2: Plymouth State 7, Eastern Conn. St. 3
    • Plymouth State (0-2)
    • Eastern Connecticut St. (8-0)
 
How it Happened (Game One):
  • Playing as the visiting team in its home ballpark, Eastern Connecticut plated three runs in the top of the first to grab an early lead.
  • PSU threatened in the bottom of the third, getting runners to second and third with two outs, but a fly out ended the danger.
  • The Warriors added two more in the fourth and put the game away with a five-run sixth.
By the Numbers (Game One):
  • PSU's offense was limited to singles by graduate student Jen Landers (Berlin, N.H.) and freshman Jersey Strum (Somersworth, N.H.).
  • Graduate student Caitlyn Miller (Lee, N.H.) took the loss (0-1) while surrendering five runs over 4.0 innings. Sophomore Sam McCann (Berlin, N.H.) and Strum each logged an inning in relief.
  • Strum recorded her first career hit with her sixth-inning single after logging her first career strikeout from the circle in the top of the inning.
 
How it Happened (Game Two):
  • Freshman Alexis Michon (Montville, Conn.) ripped a single to lead off the bottom of the first. After moving to third on a sacrifice and ground out, she came home on McCann's RBI single to give PSU a quick 1-0 advantage.
  • Meanwhile, Michon was in control in the circle limiting the Warriors to just two baserunners through the first five innings.
  • Plymouth State took advantage of a pair of ECSU errors to push across two unearned runs on junior Emily Picard's (Berlin, N.H.) base knock in the bottom of the fifth to extend the lead.
  • Eastern Connecticut came right back in the next half inning, opening the frame with five straight extra base hits to go ahead 5-3.
  • The Warriors tacked on two insurance runs in the top of the seventh to account for the final score.
By the Numbers (Game Two):
  • Michon, Picard and McCann each had a hit, while sophomore Rachyl Parslow (Temple, N.H.) and freshman Abby Kenison (Boscawen, N.H.) also reached base for the Panthers.
  • Michon (0-1) struck out six over 6.1 innings, while Strum came on to record the final two outs.
 
Up Next:
  • The two teams will square off again in 48 hours for a pair of LEC contests.
