April 12, 2014: Maddie Damore '17 sets program records with three home run, seven RBI game
Maddie Damore had the greatest single-game performance of any Big Green softball player on this day eight years ago. In her freshman campaign, the slugger belted three home runs and drove in seven out of the ten total runs as Dartmouth buried the Yale Bulldogs, 10-1.
From Campbell, California, Damore, who was batting in the nine hole, stepped up to the plate for her second at-bat in the fourth inning with two runners on base. Damore worked a 3-1 hitters count and blasted a three-run shot to make it a 4-0 Big Green lead.
With a 6-1 advantage and a runner on first in the fifth, Damore blasted her second ball over the fence to extend the lead to 8-1.
Luckily for Damore, Yale's only run in the fifth fought off the run-rule to allow the Big Green to have at least three more at-bats in the sixth, and Damore was due up fourth in the inning. The first two batters were sat down and it took a five pitch walk by Kara Curosh '14 to send the last person Yale wanted to see to the plate.
Damore took a ball, then a strike, then another ball to put herself where she wanted to be. She crushed the next pitch to walk it off and set records that will stand until at least 2021.
That freshman season set the tone for the power hitter, who put together one of the best careers in Dartmouth softball history. She ranks third in home runs (20), third in RBIs (92), fifth in doubles (30) ninth in hits (137) and third in bases on balls (55).
