Late Rally Comes Up Short In Setback To Butler
4/30/2017 3:41:00 PM | Softball
SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Despite a valiant late rally, the Seton Hall softball team (22-22-1, 7-11 BIG EAST) dropped a rubber game to Butler (20-27, 8-9 BIG EAST) on Sunday at Mike Sheppard, Sr. Field. The 4-3 setback marked the conclusion of a three-game BIG EAST set with the Bulldogs this weekend.
The Pirates scored twice in the bottom of the seventh and had the tying and go-ahead runs on base in the final frame before falling just short. The Hall cranked out nine hits in the setback but left 12 runners on base and were just 3-for-13 (.231) with runners in scoring position.
Turning Points
Butler took an early lead with a three-run top of the third and extended their lead to 4-0 in the top of the fifth. The Pirates got one back in the bottom of the frame with an RBI single from Noel Lent (Yaphank, N.Y.) to cut the lead back to three.
After a pair of scoreless relief innings from Chrisa Head (Lewisville, Texas) the Pirates mounted their comeback attempt in the bottom of the seventh. Following a walk and a single with one away, Hailey Arteaga (Upland, Calif.) and Head came up with back-to-back RBI singles to slim the lead to 4-3. Butler then made a move to the bullpen, bringing on Mikeila Boroff who got a strikeout and a soft line drive to short to escape the late jam and secure the series for the Bulldogs.
Inside The Numbers
- Butler held a slight 10-9 edge in hits and committed two errors versus one for The Hall
- Both sides recorded one extra-base hit, each notching a double
- The Hall hit .300 (6-for-20) with runners on but 3-for-13 (.231) with runners in scoring position
- Pirate batters drew four walks while Pirate pitchers issued only two bases on balls
- The 5-6-7 hitters in the Seton Hall lineup (Lent-Arteaga-Head) all had two hits and combined to go 6-for-13 with a walk and all three of The Hall's RBIs
- In three games of the BU series Lent went 6-for-10 to raise her season average from .298 to .323
- Alexis Walkden (Cibolo, Texas) recorded her team-high 15th double in the contest, good for second-most in a season in program history
- The hit was also the 164th of Walkden's career, moving to eighth in the SHU career record books
- Head threw 2.0 innings in all three games of the series and did not allow a run
- The setback drops The Hall to 9-6 this season at home
The Hall will conclude the regular season with a three-game series against St. John's next weekend at Mike Sheppard, Sr. Field.
