MELBOURNE, Fla. – The Holy Family University softball team began its spring break in Florida trip with four games, three of which were against Saginaw Valley State, over Tuesday Wednesday.
Walsh (Tuesday)
Walsh opened the scoring with a two-run first and led throughout in a 1-5 win.
Molly Moore (Conshohocken, Pa./Plymouth Whitemarsh) threw three innings of one-hit relief in which she did now allow an earned run.
Alexis Letizia (Toms River, N.J./Donovan Catholic) got HFU on the board with an RBI single in the sixth, capping a 2-for-3 performance.
Saginaw Valley State (Tuesday)
Holy Family took a 1-0 lead thanks to a
Paige Tidaback (Carteret, N.J./St. Thomas Aquinas) single in the first, but SVSU scored in the second, third and fourth en route to a 2-8 victory.
Tidaback also threw three innings of relief, in which she surrendered just one earned run on two hits.
Lily Hoban (Millsboro, Del./Indian River) drove in the Tigers' other run with an RBI single in the fifth.
Saginaw Valley State (Wednesday Game One)
Two first inning home runs, the first of which was an inside-the-parker, would turn out to be all the Cardinals would need in an eventual 1-2 win.
Hoban cut the deficit in half with a bases-loaded single with one out in the sixth, but HFU stranded two and could not threaten in the seventh.
Kinsley Hall (Frankford, Del./Indian River (Mount Olive)) came on to throw five innings of shutout relief in which she gave up just two hits with six strikeouts and no walks. She retired the first 11 she faced.
