3/24/2018 5:49:00 PM | Softball
SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Janae Barracato (Hempstead, N.Y.) hit a pair of home runs, but it was not enough for the Seton Hall softball team (13-18, 0-2 BIG EAST) as it dropped both ends of a conferene-opening doubleheader to DePaul (19-11, 2-0 BIG EAST) on Saturday afternoon at Mike Sheppard, Sr. Field. The freshman went yard in both games for The Hall and finished the doubleheader with three hits.
Game 1 – DePaul 3, Seton Hall 2
The Hall and DePaul will conclude their series tomorrow, with game time scheduled for 11 a.m.
Game 1 – DePaul 3, Seton Hall 2

- The Blue Demons got a run back in the top of the second, then leveled the contest in the fourth inning
- An error allowed an unearned run to score for DePaul in the top of the sixth, giving it a 3-2 lead

- Depaul added three more in the top of the sixth with a solo home run and a pair of RBI doubles
- Barracato got the Pirates on the board in the bottom of the sixth with a leadoff home run, but that was all the offense in the contest for The Hall
