Violets Drop Pair 7-1 and 3-1

The New York University softball team was swept in its doubleheader at Carnegie Mellon University on Saturday, April 1, in Pittsburgh, PA.

The Violets dropped the opener 7-1 and then fell in the nitecap 3-1.

NYU is now 13-7 overall and 2-4 in University Athletic Association (UAA) play.

The Violets only managed four hits in game one and did not score until the final inning.

Marina Egbert started for NYU. She got through the first two innings unscathed, but allowed four runs in the third. Then, after holding the Tartans scoreless the next two innings, Egbert gave up three more runs in the sixth and was replaced by Jayna Kramsky who recorded the final two outs. 

NYU scored its only run in the top of the seventh on Sophia Leon's bunt single. Margaux Lesser also had a hit and a walk in the contest.

In the second game, the Violets took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third. With one out, Leon singled and stole second. Lesser walked and Madi Hand's grounder was mishandled by Tartans' second baseman Kira Monji and Leon scored. Hand stole second and Samantha Burggraf walked to load the bases.

However, Emma Aridi lined into a double play and the Violets were denied any more runs.

Starter Emily Stone held Carnegie scoreless until the bottom of the fifth when the Tartans erupted for all three of their runs, the big hit beng an inside-the-park two run home run from Monji.  

Carnegie tacked on an unearned run later in the inning to end the scoring.

Stone went the distance for NYU, allowing only those two earned runs and six hits.

The Violets were held to only three hits in game.
    
The two teams will play another doubleheader on Sunday afternoon beginning at 12:00pm.
