#14 Softball Cages Kean in Doubleheader Sweep, 5-3, and 4-1

Profs Celebrate Pride Day with two victories over the Cougars

GLASSBORO, NJ -- #14 Rowan won a NJAC Doubleheader on Saturday over visiting Kean, taking game  one, 5-3, and the second, 4-1, on Pride Day.

The two victories tie a season-high 14-game win streak and help keep the Profs unbeaten in conference play.

Game one
Liz McCaffery was 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI, and a stolen base and Abigail Pawlowski added a pair of RBI singles.

Rylee Lutz fanned 12 batters with just one walk scattering three runs on nine hits to raise her record to 17-2.

Rowan plated three runs in its first at-bat, getting RBI doubles from McCaffery and Korie Hague as well as a run-scoring hit from Pawlowski.

The Cougars got on back in the third on a RBI single from Sydney Hixenbaugh.

A well-timed double steal in the fifth, allowed McCaffery to score from third and Hague to move to second. Hague later came home on Pawlowski's second RBI of the game for a 5-1 edge.

Eliza Filus gave Kean a two-run double in the sixth to cut into the Prof lead. Lutz settled in for the seventh, getting a pair of strikeouts in the frame and a fly to right to seal it up for the home team.

Game two
Starter Emily McCutcheon spun through seven innings on just 63 pitches, allowing her only run in the seventh while yielding four hits and added two K's and no walks as the rookie improves to 8-0.

McCaffery's two-out, two-run double in the third helped get the Profs on the board. Rowan looked to add more in the fourth, getting the bases loaded with two outs before a grounder to second ended the threat.

The fifth saw the Profs score an unearned run, helped in part to two Kean errors. McKenzie Melvin led off the inning by reaching on a throwing error off a slow tapper to the pitcher. She would later score from second on a misplay on a grounder at second base. Payton MacNair added an RBI triple in the sixth to score Devyn DiPasquale to make it a four-run contest.

McCutcheon was one out away from her first complete game shutout before a two-out solo home run from Annabella Marino in the seventh.

Rowan will take on Ramapo here on Tuesday in a NJAC Doubleheader as the Profs can secure the top playoff seed with two wins. Game one gets underway at 3 p.m.
