BOSTON, Mass. – Senior Jenna Edine (Warwick, R.I.) went 5-for-8 with seven RBI and sophomores Nicole Parry (Quincy, Mass.) and Dominique Burnham (Scarborough, Maine) limited Wentworth to just five hits in 10 innings as the Salve Regina softball team swept a pair of games over the Leopards with 18-0 and 11-0 wins in Commonwealth Coast Conference action on Carr Diamond.

With the wins the Seahawks improve to 5-9 overall and 3-1 in CCC play while the Leopards fall to 4-18 (0-8).

After a scoreless first inning, Salve Regina got all the runs it would need in the top of the second, as five runs would come across. Senior Sara Nelson (Bristol, Conn.) and sophomore Kelly Davin (Northbridge, Mass.) each drove in a run with a sacrifice fly, freshman Lexi Soucie (North Easton, Mass.) drew a bases-loaded walk, and Edine had a two-run single.

The Seahawks tacked on seven runs in the third – five of which came after a two-out error by Wentworth. Edine had a two-run double in the inning, senior Marissa Simpson (Brimfield, Mass.) had an RBI double, sophomore Genevieve Benoit (Swampscott, Mass.) had an RBI single, and freshman Kara O'Riley (Acton, Mass.) had an RBI double.

An inning later the Seahawks scored three more times, with two of those runs coming on a Davin single up the middle.

Parry had limited the hosts to just one baserunner – on a hit batsmen which was erased on a double play in the first – through the first 4.2 innings before Wentworth got back-to-back hits from junior Liz Glavin (Ipswich, Mass.) and senior Haylee Bacik (Lowell, Mass.). However, both were stranded in scoring position after Parry induced an inning-ending groundout.

Salve Regina scored three times in the top of the fifth as freshman Katie Napier (Medford, Mass.), Soucie, and Davin all had RBI singles.

Edine was 3-for-4 with four RBI, while Davin was 2-for-4 with four RBI. Simpson and Napier had two hits each and Soucie drove in a pair of runs. Parry (3-2) allowed just two hits, yielded zero walks, and struck out seven.

Bacik (2-8) took the loss for the Black & Gold with junior Isabella Grassetti (Monson, Mass.) and freshman Maya Bloom (Hopkinton, N.H.) each seeing time in the circle.

The Seahawks opened the nightcap by scoring seven runs in their first at bat, thanks in part to three Wentworth errors. Edine, O'Riley, and Nelson each had RBI singles, freshman Lauren Fountain (Cheshire, Conn.) had a sacrifice fly, and Napier delivered a two-run single.

Salve Regina took an 8-0 lead in the third inning when Simpson, who hit a ground-rule double and moved to third on a groundout, scored after Napier reached on an error. The Seahawks would add three runs in the fifth on a two-run single from Edine and an RBI single form O'Riley.

Wentworth's best chance to score came in the home half of the fifth when freshman Marina MacDonald-Soccorso (Avon, Conn.) singled and senior Mariana Moniz (Alges, Portugal) turned an 11-pitch at bat into a walk. Both runners would move up 60 feet on a wild pitch, however a groundout ended the threat.

After a leadoff single, Burnham (1-4) set the next 10 batters down and finished the game allowing three hits, walking one, and striking out nine. Edine was 2-for-4 with three RBI, Napier and O'Riley each had two hits and two RBI, and Nelson had a pair of hits.

Sophomore Karsyn Sawyer (Chatham, N.Y.), Glavin, and MacDonald-Soccorso had the Leopards' hits in the game while Bloom took the loss (1-4).

Both teams return to the diamond tomorrow as Wentworth travels to Gordon and Salve Regina hosts Eastern Nazarene.
