Softball Rallies For Wild, 11-10, Walk-Off Win to Take Series From Binghamton

BALTIMORE -- Maggie Frisvold's one-out grounder in the bottom of the seventh resulted in a two-run error that gave the UMBC Softball team a wild, 11-10, come-from-behind win to take the series from visiting Binghamton on Sunday afternoon at The Diamond.

The game was played in windy conditions that contributed to seven combined home runs.

Binghamton took a 3-0 lead with two outs in the first on back-to-back pitches on a pair of pop flies that carried with the wind just over the fence, but the Retrievers answered in the bottom half of the inning. Ella Squaires had a leadoff single, Emily Riggs walked and both would score on Haley Luginbill's two-out three run homer to right. 

Binghamton would re-take the lead, 5-3, in the top of the second after an error helped plate a pair of runs, and it would remain 5-3 until the bottom of the fifth.

Frisvold, Squaires and Phoebe Florian all singled to load the bases with no outs. After a grounder got Frisvold at the plate via force out, Jerzie Nutile sent the first pitch she saw roughly 250 feet to right center for her second grand slam of the series.

Two batters later, Amya Lundy reached on a dropped third strike with two outs and Erin Behel made the guests pay when she smacked the first homer of her career to give UMBC a 9-5 lead.

The Bearcats responded with five in the top of the sixth, only two earned, to take a 10-9 lead.

Craziness ensued in the bottom of the seventh on four straight pitches. Lundy reached on a one-out throwing error, Behel was hit by the very next pitch, Abby Brenowitz beat out an infield single on the following pitch and then Frisvold's grounder to short on the next pitch was misplayed allowing Lundy and pinch runner Riley Gallagher to score and give UMBC the win.

Squaires, Behel and Brenowitz all had two-hit games, while Riggs had a double and a walk. Kya Matter got the win, pitching 1.2 innings of relief without allowing an earned run and struck out a pair.

UMBC travels to Maine next weekend.
