Pirates Fall To Creighton On Senior Day
4/22/2018 2:59:00 PM | Softball
How It Happened
- The Pirates wasted no time taking an early lead, driving in three runs all with two away in the bottom of the first
- After Janae Barracato (Hempstead, N.Y.) led the game off with a double, fellow freshman Payton Beaver (Lake Stevens, Wash.) drove her home two batters later with an RBI double of her own
- With Beaver on second, Darby Pandolfo (Massapequa, N.Y.) launched a towering two-run home run to left field that put the Pirates up 3-0
- Creighton got a run back in the top of the second with an RBI single
- In the top of the fifth, CU struck three times with a two-run single to tie before an RBI double gave the Bluejays a 4-3
- Creighton tacked on another run in the top of the seventh and The Hall was unable to muster a comeback in the final frames
- The Pirates were out-hit 10-4 in the setback and committed two errors versus one for CU
- Beaver and Pandolfo both went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored and combined for all three of SHU's RBIs
- Foster notched a double and reached base twice on her Senior Day
- Barracato's first inning double was her team-high ninth of the year
- Pandolfo homered twice in the Creighton series, also going deep in game one on Saturday
- Reganne Camp (Bloomington, Ill.) took a tough-luck loss, striking out four in her 11th complete game of the season
The Pirates are back in action next weekend, visiting Villanova for a three-game BIG EAST series.
