WALTHAM, Mass. Brandeis University senior pitcher Kaitlin
Streilein (Point Pleasant, N.J.)won the first game of the
doubleheader surrendering only one run in claiming her 10th win of
the season. She struck out four in a complete game performance. She
also came through with a two-run home run, her fifth of the season,
in the fourth inning to give the team a comfortable lead.
Amherst came out strong in the second game, scoring five runs in
the first two innings, including a home run from Senior Elizabeth
Neckes.
Brandeis starting pitcher, Sophomore Allie Mussen, was relieved
after just one and one third innings of work by Senior Natalie
Volpe who pitched the next four innings until Streilein was called
in to finish the last inning.
With the Judges down by three runs entering the seventh inning,
Sophomore Chelsea Korp led off with a solo home-run, her second of
the season. A couple quick outs followed, but Streilein provided
another home-run, her second of the day and sixth of the season to
drop the lead to just one run. Consecutive hits by freshman
Danielle Lavallee and Junior Samantha Worth, plus a walk by
Sophomore Erin Ross set the stage for Senior Natalie Volpe who
stepped up to hit the go ahead single to win the game and continue
the win streak to 12 straight games.
