Enos' Gem Leads Bulldogs to Road
Doubleheader Split with Adelphi Saturday Afternoon
April 5,
2008 Game 1 Box / Game 2 Box
Garden City, NY - Bulldog starters
Janine Enos (Wareham, Mass) and Samantha
Houseal (Mount Joy, PA) combined to allow just one
unearned run in 15.2 innings Saturday to secure a split with
Adelphi Saturday afternoon.
The Bulldogs and Houseal (4-4) dropped
a heartbreaker 1-0 in game one of the doubleheader which was
delayed two hours due to poor field conditions at Adelphi's field.
The freshman starter shut the Panthers out for seven innings before
allowing a single to Diana DiPiano to score Dely Francisco.
Francisco had been placed on second to start the inning because the
game went to extra innings. Panther starter Julie Schaper shut the
Bulldog offense down on just 3 hits to earn the victory.
Senior starter Enos righted the ship
for the Bulldogs in game two, shutting the Panthers out on just
three hits in seven masterful innings. Enos (7-3) lowered her
team-leading ERA to 1.67 and earned her third win of the week
after finishing last week 3-1 and earning NE-10 Pitcher of the Week
honors.
Jennifer Serrano (Stoneham,
Mass.) knocked three hits out of the leadoff spot for the
Bulldogs. Serrano and number three and four hitters Ali
Chouinard (Swansea, Mass.) and Jessica Valentini
(Cliffside Park, NJ) got on base a combined six times,
setting the table for middle of the order hitters Kate
Thomas (Bedford, NH) and Alex Pearson (North
Dighton, Mass.). Thomas would knock in two runs to set the
tempo in the first inning and Pearson would get another RBI
for the Bulldogs.
Ashley Coon (Levittown,
PA) would also chip in two hits and an RBI for Bryant.
The Bulldogs will return to action
Sunday with a 12noon doubleheader at American International College
in Springfield, Mass.
