Dartmouth Splits Non-Conference Doubleheader Against Holy Cross
3/30/2022 7:30:00 PM | Softball
The Big Green won the first game, 4-1, before falling, 5-0, in the second
HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth softball split Wednesday's twin bill against Holy Cross, winning game one, 4-1, before falling by a score of 5-0 in the second. The Big Green are now 5-19 overall, while the Crusaders are 8-18.
GAME ONE: Dartmouth 4, Holy Cross 1
Maddie Katona, Mary Beth Cahalan, Alaana Panu and Izzy Kam all ended the game with one run. Brooke Plonka pitched a complete game, allowing five hits while fanning eight.
The Crusaders struck first, scoring a run in the top of the second and held on to that slight edge until the Big Green cruised ahead in the third. Kam started things off with a single down the third base line, advancing to second when Katona was hit by the pitch. Both scored on a Cahalan single, while she made it home on Alaana Panu's first career home run to make it a 4-1 game.
Dartmouth had the chance to pull even further ahead in the bottom of the fifth. Katona doubled and advanced to third when Cahalan singled. Cahalan stole second and the home team had a runner on second and third with only one out. Holy Cross' pitcher Peyton Morehouse made swift work of the final two batters to get out of a sticky situation.
In the top of the seventh, Plonka struck out the final two to end the game to win her fourth game of the season.
GAME TWO: Dartmouth 0, Holy Cross 5
Leila Hennessy, Kate Farren and Cahalan ended the game with one hit apiece. Megan Hagge pitched four innings, allowing three runs on six hits while being saddled with the loss. Maddie Augusto pitched the final three innings, allowing two runs.
Three of the Crusaders' runs came in the fourth inning when two runners scored on a Jessie Nagel double. Soon after, Jena Whipple was sent home on Jessica Mott's single. The final two runs came in the sixth, when Bailey Bates scored on Whipple's double and then Whipple added a second run when Mott reached on a fielder's choice.
In the final inning, Farren walked with two outs, but one more out was what did it.
Dartmouth will be on the road for three against Princeton on Saturday and Sunday.
