Final Stats
Box Score
The Pirates were led offensively by Noel Lent (Yaphanic, N.Y.) who went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs. Yasmin Harrell (Cheektowaga, N.Y.) went 2-for-3 with a pair of runs and two stolen bases and Alannah Basile (Levittown, N.Y.) hit her second home run in as many days to power the Pirates. Chrisa Head (Lewisville, Texas) started in the circle and picked up her first career win, while Madison Strunk (Adkins, Texas) fired 4.2 one-run innings out of the bullpen.
The Hall took a 3-0 lead after two innings, then ballooned its advantage to eight with five runs in the top of the third. App State answered with a six-spot in the bottom of the frame, but the Pirates roared back for three more in the top of the fourth to get the margin to the eventual final score of 11-6.
Turning Point
After the Mountaineers pulled within two heading to the top of the fourth, the Pirates scored three more times in the bottom of the frame to put the contest out of reach. Faith Laudano (Islip, N.Y.) drove in a run with a sacrifice fly before another came home on a wild pitch. Lent capped the scoring with a two-out RBI single later in the frame.
Inside The Numbers
- The Pirates out-hit the Mountaineers 13-6 in the victory and held a 4-2 advantage in extra-base hits
- The Hall stole a season-high seven bases, with two each from Harrell and Valerie Suto (Mercerville, N.J.)
- Eight different Pirates scored a run
- Harrell and Lent combined to go 5-for-8 from the top two spots in the order
News and Notes
- Basile clubbed her second home run in two days, also going yard against App State on Saturday
- The Pirates went 4-1 in each of their first two season-opening tournaments and are off to their best start under fourth-year head coach Paige Smith
- Harrell stole her 69th and 70th career bases, extending her program record set earlier this weekend – she also raised her average to a team-best .412 with a pair of hits
- As a team, the Pirates are slashing .336/.416/.522 through 10 games this season
Up Next
The Pirates will play in the USF Invitational next weekend in Clearwater, Fla. with games against Eastern Michigan, Georgia State and Villanova in a round-robin style tournament. The action begins against EMU on Friday, Feb. 26 at 4:30 p.m.
