Big Green Split Doubleheader at UMass

Mary Beth Cahalan led the offense with three hits in each game
AMHERST, Mass. — In its first games in nearly 14 months, the Dartmouth softball team split a doubleheader against host UMass (12-11) on Saturday afternoon at Sortino Field. Freshman Kelly Beaupre had a perfect game at the plate in the opener for the Big Green (1-1), going 3-for-3 with two runs and a key three-run triple in the 6-2 victory. The Minutewomen (12-11) rallied from an 8-0 deficit in the nightcap and survived a wild affair to hand Dartmouth (1-1) a 15-13 defeat.
Game one was a scoreless affair through three innings, then quickly became a 1-0 Big Green lead when Beaupre and sophomore Regan Weekly led off the fourth with back-to-back doubles. Dartmouth doubled its advantage two innings later thanks to the speed of freshman Izzy Kam. After leading off the stanza with a single and taking second on a throwing error, she took third on a base hit off the bat of junior Billie McFadyen and stole home on the first pitch to sophomore Kate Farren.
Beaupre blew the game open in the seventh with her bases-clearing triple and scored the final run when Weekly lofted a sacrifice fly to center.
Junior Madie Augusto entered the final frame on the mound with a three-hit shutout before settling for a complete-game six-hitter while striking out a career-high 10 batters.
Freshman Mary Beth Cahalan joined Beaupre with three hits and Kam had two more to give the rookies eight of the Big Green's 13 hits in their collegiate debut. Weekly also banged out two safeties and drove in two.
The second game looked like it would be a rout when Dartmouth put a seven-spot on the board in the third inning after Cahalan doubled and scored the first run in the second, scampering home from third on a passed ball. The first five Big Green batters hit safely to start the rally, including three straight doubles by McFadyen, Farren and senior Abby Shipley. McFadyen capped the rally by driving in the final run to give her three RBIs in the inning for an 8-0 lead.
Meanwhile, junior Brooke Plonka was keeping UMass in check, keeping the Minutewomen off the board for the first four frames, though she had to work out of trouble, leaving seven stranded in the second, third and fourth. She nearly escaped the fifth, but she surrendered an RBI single to Jules Shields and a two-run triple to Hannah Bunker.
Dartmouth got two of those runs back in the sixth as Cahalan scored on the front end of a double steal and Weekly drove in a run with one-out single for a 10-3 lead.
UMass erased that advantage in the bottom half, scoring nine times before three Big Green pitchers could retire the side. It was Bella Patonja's two-run double that gave UMass its first lead of the afternoon, 12-10.
Yet the Big Green did not give in with Shipley cranking a one-out, two-run homer to knot the score at 12. Cahalan followed with her third hit and second double of the game, then scored thanks to a pair of wild pitches to put Dartmouth back on top.
That lead was also short-lived as Augusto (1-1), who took the mound in relief during the long sixth inning, hit a batter with one gone before Bunker doubled in the tying run. UMass then sent Alyssa Lyon the plate as a pinch hitter, and she sent the first pitch she saw over the fence for the walk-off winner.
The Dartmouth offense rapped out 17 hits as every starter had at least one knock, including Shipley and Cahalan with three apiece. Cahalan also scored three times while McFadyen and Shipley both had three RBIs.
Bunker led all players with four RBIs for UMass while leading the Minutewomen with three of their 14 hits. Jenna Bradley (3-2) pitched all seven innings for the home squad to earn the victory, yielding 12 earned runs while walking and striking out three.
Dartmouth will be back in action on Wednesday for a single game at Boston College. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m.
