FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The Seton Hall softball team (12-14) cranked out 16 hits and scored nine unanswered runs to pick up a 9-4 win in eight innings at Fairfield (12-10) on Tuesday afternoon at Alumni Softball Field. The Pirates erased an early 4-0 deficit and took their first lead of the day on a Darby Pandolfo (Massapequa, N.Y.) RBI double in the eighth inning of the comeback win.

Hailey Arteaga (Upland, Calif.), Baylee Allender (Rosharon, Texas) and Katherine Matthys (Spring Branch, Texas) all had three hits on the day for the Pirates, while Allender and Pandolfo each scored a pair of runs. The Hall got a tremendous 6.0 inning relief effort from Reganne Camp (Bloomington, Ill.) in the win, as the junior did not allow an earned run to pick up her fifth win of the season.

How it Happened

The Stags opened the scoring in the bottom of the second, loading the bases before pushing three runs across with a pair of RBI groundouts and a run-scoring infield single
Down 4-0 in the top of the fourth, The Hall got back within a run by way of two-out RBI hits from Emily Supercynski (Aurora, Colo.) and Arteaga to cut the lead to 4-3
Jaden Tate (Las Vegas, Nev.) evened the score at four with an RBI single in the top of the fifth
Back-to-back hit batsmen and a two-out single loaded the bases for The Hall in the sixth, but Fairfield was able to induce a groundout to keep the contest tied
Camp continued her stellar relief outing with a 1-2-3 bottom of the seventh to send the game to extra innings
The Pirates took their first lead with Pandolfo's RBI double in the top of the eighth
The Hall would go on to add four more in extras, with a Matthys (Spring Branch, Texas) RBI single along with two run-scoring wild pitches and an error to push the score to its 9-4 final
