South Orange, N.J. – Behind a well-rounded offensive attack and clutch pitching, the Seton Hall softball team swept its doubleheader against Manhattan on Wednesday afternoon by scores of 8-0 and 9-7. Kelsey Carr (Ridgewood, N.Y.) was stellar once again in the circle in game one, while it only took one big inning at the plate for the Pirates to seal game two.

Game 1: Seton Hall 8, Manhattan 0 (5)
How it Happened

• The Pirate bats came out of the gates swinging, plating three runs in the bottom of the first. The first run came home on an RBI single from Abby Wingo (Portland, Ore.) which allowed Taylor Hill (Little Falls, N.J.) to score. Wingo would then steal second on a play which allowed Lela Allen (Phoenix, Ariz.)to score on a throwing error by the shortstop. Next, Olivia Gilbert (Johnston, R.I.) singled home Wingo to give the Pirates a 3-0 advantage.
• Three more Pirates crossed the plate in the third. Miranda Arruda (Pawcatuck, Conn.) would come home on a double steal attempt where Wingo was thrown out at second. Later in the inning, Perez found a gap in the outfield for a two-run single to bring the lead up to 6-0.
• Carr allowed the first two runners to reach base in the fourth as the Japsers tried to gain some momentum. However, Carr would record a strikeout, flyout and popout to escape the jam.
• The Pirate offense rewarded Carr's escapism in the circle with another run in the bottom half of the frame, as Allen lined a double to left-center field to score Hill from first.
• Seton Hall put the game away in the bottom of the fifth as Perez hit a ball off the left field wall to plate Marisa Pla (San Clemente, Calif.) and give the Pirates a run rule victory.

Notes and Numbers

• This marks Seton Hall's third run rule victory so far this season.
• Carr has now allowed just one earned run over her last 12.1 innings of work.
• Gilbert recorded three hits in a game for the second time in her career, and the first since doing so against DePaul on April 9, 2022.
• Perez now has back-to-back games with multiple RBI.

Game 2: Seton Hall 9, Manhattan 7
How it Happened

• The Jaspers jumped on top in the top of the first inning after Gabriella Mazzotta scored on a wild pitch.
• The Pirates would answer in a big way, scoring all nine of their runs in the second inning. The first run came across on a Perez double as she knocked in her fourth run of the doubleheader. Two batters later, Perez would cross home on a groundout from Lauren Caye (Pittsburgh, Pa.) to give Seton Hall a 2-1 advantage.
• Ashly Colonnetta (Cypress, Texas) would plate Arruda on an infield single, then come around herself to score after an errant throw from shortstop went down the right field line.
• Later in the inning, Wingo would single to centerfield to make it a 5-1 Pirates lead before Gilbert laced a double to the right field wall which plated two more. The score would increase to 8-1 after Hannah Alexander (Wrightstown, N.J.) was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, and two batters later Colonnetta would draw a bases loaded walk to cap the nine-run rally.
• Manhattan got a run back in the fourth to make it a 9-2 game, but the Pirates were a single away from a second straight run rule victory in the fifth. With Caye at second base and one out, Hill and Allen were each retired to extend them game to the sixth.
• Manhattan capitalized on its new opportunity, scoring five runs in the sixth inning to draw within two runs at 9-7.
• With the tying run coming to the plate in the seventh inning, Shelby Smith (Friendswood, Texas) was called into the circle to pick up the final two outs to earn the save.

Notes & Numbers

• All nine Pirate starters in the batting order reached base safely, and eight of the nine recorded at least one base hit.
• The save for Smith was the fourth of her career and the first by a Pirate pitcher this season.
• Across the doubleheader, seven different Pirates drove in at least one run.
• Gilbert now has five multi-RBI games so far this season after having three as a freshman in 2022.
• Perez has knocked in six runs over her last three games, including four in Wednesday's doubleheader alone.
• Seton Hall's nine-run inning was the most it has scored in one frame since plating 10 runs in the fifth inning of a game against Army on March 6, 2020.
• The 24 hits across the doubleheader are the most by the Pirates since banging out 28 combined hits in a double dip against UMBC and Saint Joseph's on Feb. 20, 2022

What's Next
Seton Hall opens its BIG EAST home slate this Friday as the Pirates welcome Georgetown for a three game set.

Pirates Edged by Monmouth in Home Opener, 2-1​

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Sophomore Pat D'Amico (Lynnfield, Mass.) collected four hits, but the Seton Hall baseball team left 13 men on base in a 2-1 loss to Monmouth in its 2023 home opener on Wednesday.

Four Pirates' pitchers combined to allow just two runs, but Monmouth's Ben Winstead had a two-out RBI single in the sixth inning which provided the difference.

The Hall's pitching was stellar with starter Christopher Shine (South Plainfield, N.J.) going 3.1 innings and allowing just one run on three hits. Graduate student Joe Cinnella (Mahwah, N.J.) had nearly the same stat line, but struck out five and walked only one. Freshman Michael Gillen (Rochelle Park, N.J.) added 1.1 innings of scoreless relief and junior Jay Allmer (Raleigh, N.C.) finished with a shutout inning.

How It Happened:
Seton Hall got on the scoreboard first in the bottom of the second inning when Alex Clyde (Old Tappan, N.J.) singled with one out and was driven in by a two-out RBI double down the left field line from Jack Wentworth (Wakefield, R.I.). The lead was short-lived, however, as Monmouth struck with a two-out RBI double in the top of the third.

In the sixth, Monmouth put runners on second and third with only one out. Cinnella got the second out via strikeout, but Winstead followed with a two-out single up the middle to plate the go-ahead run.

With one out in the eighth inning, Jedier Hernandez (Trenton, N.J.) doubled to right-centerfield. Clyde followed with a single up the middle, but Hernandez, representing the tying run, was thrown out at the plate. Two walks loaded the bases for the Pirates, but alas, they left all three runners on base. The Hall started a two-out rally in the ninth as well, getting the tying run into scoring position, but it was ultimately stranded.

Numbers & Notes:

• Seton Hall out-hit the Hawks, 10-8.
• Neither team committed an error. It was the third time this season that The Hall didn't commit an error.
• Cinnella took the hard-luck loss despite throwing 3.1 innings of relief and allowing just one run on three hits. He also struck out five batters and walked only one.
• D'Amico went 4-for-5, a season-best for hits.
• Shine had one of his best outings of the year, allowing just one run on three hits in 3.1 innings pitched.
• Hernandez went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles.
• Gillen tossed 1.1 scoreless innings today and has now thrown 5.1 scoreless innings to begin his career.
• Clyde reached base three times, going 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored.
• Allmer pitched a scoreless ninth inning. He's now kept opponents off the scoreboard in three of his five appearances this year.

UP NEXT:
Seton Hall will return to action with a three-game series against Holy Cross this weekend at Mike Sheppard, Sr. Stadium. The teams will play a double-header on Saturday with game one beginning at 1:00 p.m. Sunday's contest will begin at Noon. All three games will be streamed live by the Pirate Sports Network and available for FloSports subscribers.
