Softball Powers Way to Senior Day Win Via Run-Rule

BALTIMORE – The UMBC Softball team celebrated Senior Day in style, using a walk-off homer from Sierra Pierce (Youngstown, Ohio) to defeat UMass Lowell via run-rule, 8-0, in six innings.

The win clinched the series for the Retrievers, as they improved to 26-9, 10-5 America East.

How it happened:
  • The River Hawks got a bloop double off the outfielder's glove to lead off the game, but Coppersmith got a pop-up and two strikeouts to escape
  • Karly Keating (Orlando, Fla.) started the bottom of the first with a single and then moved to third when Meghan Dempsey (Collegeville, Pa.) reached on an error on her sacrifice bunt
  • Dempsey then attempted to steal second, and the catcher's throw sailed to the wall in center, allowing both Keating and Dempsey to score
  • Coppersmith then followed two pitches later with a solo homer to center to make it 3-0 UMBC in the first. 
  • Dempsey got a two-out single in the second to score Casey Turner (Baltimore, Md.) and make it 4-0 Retrievers
  • UMass Lowell (24-17, 8-7 AE) had its best chance to score in the fourth when Lea White blooped a one-out single to shallow right. The ball landed just in front of Macy Granzow (Glenn Dale, Md.) and bounced past her all the way to the wall. Granzow unloaded a throw to Ashley Della Guardia (Phoenixville, Pa.), who then relayed to Keating at the plate to easily throw out White trying to score 
  • Granzow would make another great defensive play in the fifth, when she made a running catch in front of the wall in right field to end the inning
  • Logan Hawker smashed a solo homer to leadoff the bottom of the fifth
  • Turner then singled and would score all the way from first on a Madison Wilson (Abingdon, Md.) two out pinch-hit double
  • UMBC made it 7-0 in the fifth after Grazow scored on an error
  • Pierce would then leadoff the bottom of the sixth with her homer to end the game via run rule.

Coppersmith, who picked up her 100th career hit, pitched her second consecutive shutout, allowing four hits, one walk and striking out nine to improve to 7-3 on the season. 

Keating, Dempsey, Coppersmith, Hawker and Turner all had multi-hit games for the Retrievers.

UMBC concludes the regular season with a series at Binghamton next weekend.
