PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Brown University Bears took a doubleheader from the Providence College Friars on Thursday afternoon at Brown in college softball action. The Bears used an unearned run to break a 2-2 tie in the first game for a 3-2 win and then road a two-run homer by Tami Parrott to a 6-1 win.
The two losses drops the Friars to 9-26 on the season while Brown improves to 8-22 on the year.
In game one, the Friars got two runs in the first on rbi singles by Jami Servidone and Heather Nathan. Brown came back with two of their own of PC starter Robyn West. The Bears scored the eventual winning run in the second after Corey Schreier got on via an infield hit, was sacrificed to second and scored on an error by Nathan for a 3-2 Brown lead. PC would get just two more hits off Bears' starter Aleana Sutton. West fell to 6-10 with the loss while Sutton picked up her second win of the year to improve to 2-12.
In the second game, Brown scored three in the first and three in the second off starter Heather Nathan. The three first inning runs came without a hit as the Friars made three errors in the inning. In the second, Julia Iudicello drove in one run with a single and Parrott followed with her two-run homer for a 6-0 Brown lead. Megan Wargin pitched the final four-and-2/3 innings giving up one hit. Nathan took the loss to fall to 3-14 on the year.
PC would get just two hits off Brown starter Ellie Blake, both coming with two outs in the seventh as Blake needed just one out for a no-hitter. Freshman Kate Harris kept the Friars alive when she got on via an error. Senior leftfielder Lindsay Garfield then broke up the no-hitter with a single and junior Bonnie Skrenta broke up the shutout as she drove Harris in from third with a single. Blake got the final out retiring Gwyn Mangini with her sixth strikeout of the game to improve her record to 6-8 on the year.
