SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – The Seton Hall softball team (17-19, 4-6 BIG EAST) dropped another tight setback to first place St. John's (22-16, 10-1 BIG EAST), falling by a score of 3-0 in a series finale on Sunday afternoon at Mike Sheppard, Sr. Field. With the setback, The Hall dropped three in the series to the Red Storm by a combined six runs.

Both offenses were held relatively quiet in the contest, combining for only 12 hits, but St. John's was able to push a run across in the first and tack on with a two-run home run in the fourth. Five different Pirates had one hit in the setback.

How it Happened

St. John's took an early lead with a run in the top of the first, scoring on an RBI infield single that split the pitcher and shortstop
The Hall threatened in the bottom of the third when back-to-back walks put two on with two away, but SJU hurler Madison Morris was able to induce a pop-up and end the threat
The Red Storm then stretched its lead to 3-0 with a two-run homer in the fourth
The Hall would come up with two-out hits in each of their final three tips at bat, but were unable to bring the tying run to the plate at any point in the fifth inning or beyond
