Softball Breaks Out in Seventh Inning of Game One; Hold Off Dominican in Nightcap for Sweep

ORANGEBURG, N.Y. – Trailing 0-1 entering the seventh inning of game one, the HFU softball team broke out for six runs for an eventual 6-2 triumph, before holding off Dominican in the nightcap, 6-7, for a sweep of the Chargers on Thursday.  
 
Individual Highlights
  • Madison Grubb (Swedesboro, N.J./Kingsway) had a perfect game two, finishing 5-for-5 with two doubles, three runs and three RBI to put an exclamation point on a day in which she went 7-for-9 with three doubles, five RBI and four runs
    • The freshman moved into a tie for fifth in the program's single-season history with 12 doubles on the year
  • Emma Clayborne (Ambler, Pa./Wissahickon) also had a perfect nightcap as she went 4-for-4 with three RBI for her second career four-hit performance
  • Rylee Hobel (Coopersburg, Pa./Southern Lehigh) had a near perfect day at the plate, finishing 5-for-6 with a double, hit-by-pitch and three runs scored, highlighted by her first career three-hit game in the opener
  • In addition to earning the complete game win in the circle in the opener, Paige Tidaback (Carteret, N.J./St. Thomas Aquinas) registered her first career three-hit game at the plate, which included a double and a run
    • She limited Dominican to just the two runs on five hits
  • Carlie Miller (Hermitage, Pa./Hickory) also had two base knocks and a run in game one, while Alexis Letizia (Toms River, N.J./Donovan Catholic) reached twice via a double and walk
  • Maria Leedom (Levittown, Pa./Neshaminy (Shippensburg)) reached twice in the nightcap, adding a run scored
  • Makenna Patterson (Sellersville, Pa./Pennridge) went the distance to earn the win in game two, striking out seven
 
Inside the Box Score
  • Holy Family had double the amount of hits as Dominican in the doubleheader, 28-14, as it registered its two highest hit totals of the season with 15 in the nightcap and 13 in the game one
 
How it Happened 
Game One
  • Seven of the first eight Tigers to come to the plate in the seventh reached, beginning with Letizia's base on balls
    • Hobel followed with a single, before Grubb got HFU on the board with a two-RBI double
    • Angelina Bresnen (Morrisville, Pa./Conwell Egan) then tripled for what turned out to be the game-winner
    • After the first out, three straight singles by Lauren Hagy (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan), Tidaback and Miller, the first and third of which drove in runs, closed out the scoring in the frame
  • Tidaback then responded to an RBI double in the bottom-half by retiring the final two she faced
  • Holy Family stranded runners in scoring position in both the second and third, and after the first six Chargers were retired Dominican finally broke the deadlock with two consecutive hits to begin the third
    • The damage could have been worse if not for Kylee Jones (Hulmeville, Pa./Neshaminy (Rider)) cutting down a Charger at the plate from shortstop
  • HFU had two runners reach scoring position in both the fifth and sixth to no avail, but the defense kept the score at 1-0 entering the seventh thanks to a relay executed by the right fielder Leedom, second baseman Miller and catcher Letizia
Game Two
  • Grubb wasted no time in getting Holy Family on the board in the nightcap as she led the game off with a single, stole second and came in on a Clayborne single
  • Dominican answered with a two-run homer in the bottom-half, but five of the first six Tigers to come to the plate in the second recorded a hit en route to a three-run frame that gave HFU the lead for good 
    • Letizia led off with a single before back-to-back doubles by Hobel and Grubb put the Tigers on top
    • After the first out was recorded, it was another Clayborne single that this time made it 4-2
  • In the fourth, Grubb and Clayborne combined to immediately cancel out the Chargers' third inning run with a double and a single
  • Grubb later singled home Hobel, who led off the sixth with a hit-by-pitch, for a 6-3 cushion in the sixth, before driving in Leedom, who had singled with one out, with another single in the seventh 
  • That proved important when Dominican hit a three-run home run with two outs in the bottom-half, as Patterson was able to respond by getting the final out
 
Up Next
Holy Family completes its busy week with a fourth and final doubleheader on Saturday when it hosts Bloomfield for Senior Day. First pitch has been pushed back to 1 p.m. 
 
In-between games the Tigers will honor the senior class of Leedom and Devyn Dydak (Bensalem, Pa./Nazareth Academy).
