SMITHFIELD, RI -  Bryant University sophomore Jessica Valentini (Cliffside Park, NJ) went 4-for-4 at the plate with three runs scored as the Bryant University softball team took game one of a Northeast-10 Conference doubleheader with Stonehill College Thursday afternoon.   

Stonehill jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first thanks to a leadoff triple by Stephanie Folan (Glen Cove, NY) and came around to score on a double by Courtney Young (Danvers, Mass.).  Christine Grenache (Leominster, Mass.) would add a two-run single in the inning.

But the Bulldogs would rally back, scoring five times in the second as Valentini got things started with a double to right and came across to score on a single by Lindsey Connor (West Haven, Conn.).  Jordan Dargon (Trumbull, Conn.) had a big two-run double to help key the rally. 

The Bulldogs would take a 10-3 lead into the seventh and withstood a three-run seventh to pull out the win.  Nikki Ingalls (Westford, Mass.) earned the win, going 6 and 2/3 innings allowing just six hits and striking out four. Amanda Wilbur (Lakeville, Mass.) hit her fourth home run of the season for the Bulldogs.  Folan, Young and Grenache all had three hits for the Skyhawks with Grenache driving in three runs on the afternoon.

In game two, Bryant scored four times in the first and added two more in the second to pull away for an 8-0 win.  The Bulldogs had 12 hits in the game as Jen Bernier (Rehoboth, Mass.) picked up the win, allowing just two hits and striking out four.

Bryant will travel to AIC on Saturday while Stonehill will pay a visit to AIC this Sunday.
