Game 2 – Trinity 4, Western New England 3

The Bantams scored all their runs via the long ball with four players smacking home runs.

The Golden Bears battled back with a pair of runs in the fourth when Lempicki doubled and came around to score on a wild pitch. Senior catcher Rachel Wyrwa (Methuen, MA) doubled in the second run, but chances for a big inning were halted when sophomore center fielder Christina Galese (Fairfield, CT) threw out a runner at home to end the inning.

Junior left fielder Amelia Mostovoy (San Francisco, CA) led off the sixth with a homer to give Trinity a 4-3 lead.

Western New England rallied in the bottom of the seventh when Lempicki walked with the bases loaded and two outs against Poulos who entered the game in relief of senior Lindsay Gibbons (Basking Ridge, NJ) (5-0).
