ORANGE, Calif. -- The Tufts softball team finished its spring
break trip to California with a 7-5 record after splitting a pair
of games at the Sun West Tournament on Saturday. Shut out 3-0 by
the University of St. Thomas in the first game, the Jumbos
rebounded with a 5-2 victory against Hamline University.
Tufts was blanked on five hits by St. Thomas senior Marta
Radcliffe in the first game. She didn't walk a batter and struck
out six. The Jumbos threatened in the fourth when first year DH
Emily Beinecke (Concord, MA) hit a lead-off single
and moved to third with one out, but she was stranded. In the
seventh, sophomore 2B Mira Lieman-Sifry
(Hastings-on-Hudson, NY) hit a two-out double.
Lieman-Sifry had also singled in the seventh.
The Tommies scored twice in the bottom of the first against
Tufts starter Rebecca DiBiase (Wellesley, MA).
Sophomore DH Rachel Tondryk, who was 3 for 3 in the game, had an
RBI single. DiBiase, who allowed three runs and seven hits in six
innings, pitched the next four innings scoreless before St. Thomas
added a run in the sixth. Sophomore Kayla Boward led off the inning
with a double and scored.
Tufts senior shortstop Casey Sullivan (Berlin,
CT) hit a three-run home run, her second of the trip, in
the bottom of the first inning to ignite the Jumbos against
Hamline. Senior 3B Christy Tinker (Woodbridge, CT)
struck another big blow with a two-run double in the fifth.
Sophomore 1B Lena Cantone (Southington, CT) scored
runs in both innings and finished 2 for 3. Sullivan also scored
twice and was 2 for 3 with three RBI and two runs.
Hamline (1-2) had scored single runs in the first and second.
Sophomore LF Kristi Gravern doubled and scored in the first, while
first year RF Laura Randall (2 for 3) singled, stole second and
scored in the next inning. Tufts junior pitcher Izzie Santone (Madison, CT) was credited with the victory after
coming on in the third and pitching five innings of scoreless
relief. She allowed just two hits.
The Jumbos get right to it after returning from California,
hosting Babson in their New England opener on Tuesday starting at 3
pm.
