SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – The Seton Hall softball team (14-12-1) dropped a non-conference tilt at Fordham (25-7) by a score of 5-0 on Wednesday afternoon at the Bahoshy Softball Complex. The contest was the lone midweek action for the Pirates this week before they re-enter league play over the weekend at DePaul.

After three and a half scoreless frames, the Rams broke through for three runs in the bottom of the fourth to take a 3-0 advantage. With one on and two away, Fordham strung together back-to-back doubles and a run-scoring single to chase Seton Hall starter Madison Strunk.

Fordham added two more in the bottom of the fifth, then used a big defensive play in left to take away a three-run home run from Chrisa Head (Lewisville, Texas) that would have cut the lead to two in the top of the sixth. The five-run lead would hold up for the Rams as they set the Pirates down in order in the top of the seventh.

Inside The Numbers

Destini Peck (Riverside, Calif.) went 2-for-3 and four other Pirates notched a hit
