WINTER PARK, Fla. (March 11, 2016) - On a night
that saw the Rollins College softball team honor 10 alumni before
the game, the Tars were able to edge Eckerd College in extra
innings to stay perfect in SSC play. Niki
Fogle collected her tenth win of the year in the 2-1
victory.
Rollins improves to 17-4-1 on the year and 4-0 in SSC play,
while the Tritons fall to 12-10-1 overall and 1-3 in
conference.
Eckerd jumped out to the early 1-0 lead as Carrie Shere led off
with a home run just over the left center fence in the top of the
first. Fogle settled down after that as she retired the next 10
batters.
The Tars were able to tie the game in the bottom of the third
after Hannah
Horwath led off with a double to right field and then advancing
to third on a wild pitch. That is all Hailee
Keisling needed as the junior recorded her fourth RBI of the
season singling up the middle scoring Horwath.
The remainder of the game was a pitching duel between the
senior, Fogle and the freshman, Nikole Van Gennep of Eckerd. Both
pitchers allowed just seven hits combined over the next seven
innings of play.
Rollins capitalized in the bottom of the ninth after Courtney
Durbin went to lay down a sacrifice bunt to advance Brittany
Johnson, who was previously hit by a pitch. Freshman pitcher,
Van Gennep fielded the bunt, but threw over the first basemen's
head which saw the ball roll all the way to the fence. Johnson
scored from first securing the 2-1 victory for the Tars in walk-off
fashion
Individually, Johnson and Horwath went 1-3 with each scoring a
run. Fogle allowed five hits, one run, no walks and struck out
eleven.
The Tars return to action tomorrow as they complete the weekend
series with Eckerd with a doubleheader. Game one is slated to begin
at 2 p.m. For the latest news, updates, and information on the
