Softball Opens 2023 at Spring Games

KISSIMMEE, Florida – The New England College softball team dropped their opening two games at the Spring Games in Kissimmee, Florida on Saturday at Fortune Road Field, falling in six innings to Simpson College before losing and 8-7 heart-breaker to SUNY Oswego.

GAME 1 vs. SIMPSON
  • An excellent start by NEC graduate pitcher Emily Farone (Sandown, N.H.) saw her pitch four shutout innings to open the season for the Pilgrims, only for a series of miscues to fell the team down the stretch as six of the eight runs they would surrender were unearned. Freshmen outfielders Grace Giesler (La Mirada, Cal.) and Amaya Rodriguez (Indio, Cal.).
GAME 2 vs. SUNY OSWEGO
  • Facing the Lancers of Oswego, the 'Grims jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the first, with freshman first baseman Bella Kieran (Salem, N.H.) driving in two runs on her first career hit to right field. Down 5-4 going into the top of the sixth, an RBI single by senior left-fielder Emily Gagne (Portsmouth, N.H.) tied the game up. Three batters later, an RBI groundout gave from Freshman catcher Emma Lopez (Downey, Cal.) gave the lead back to the Pilgrims, followed by an insurance run scored by Giesler off an error. But the Lancers would steal the game with two runs in the bottom of the seventh in walk-off style. Gagne has two hits in the nightcap, as did Giesler and Rodriguez.
UP NEXT
  • NEC is back on the field on Sunday when they play SUNY Geneseo and Wisconsin Lutheran College.
