PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Seton Hall softball team (21-20-1, 6-9 BIG EAST) split a conference doubleheader at Providence (17-23, 5-10 BIG EAST) on Sunday at Glay Field. After falling by a score of 4-2 in game one to drop the series, The Hall salvaged a game in the set with a 4-3 comeback win in game two.

Alexis Walkden (Cibolo, Texas) drove in both runs during the game one setback, coming on a two-run single in the fifth inning. In game two a late RBI single from Sara Foster (Long Beach, Calif.) gave The Hall its first lead which held up thanks to a strong pitching performance from Reganne Camp (Bloomington, Ill.).

How it Happened

The Friars jumped out to an early lead, scoring twice in the first inning and adding a run in the bottom of the third to build a 3-0 edge
Walkden cut into the PC lead in the top of the fifth, lacing a single to left with two outs and the bases loaded to make it a 3-2 game
The Friars added a run in the bottom of the sixth and kept the Pirates off the board over the final two frames to secure the win
