PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College softball team split a BIG EAST doubleheader against Villanova on Sunday, April 10 at Raymond Field. The Friars dropped the first game, 4-1, but came back to capture the second game, 6-3.
In the first game, the Wildcats jumped out to a 4-0 lead on the strength of a two-run home run by Allie Wisniewski in the second inning. Sheri Donley hit a solo home run in the fourth inning to give the Wildcats the four-run lead. The Friars pulled to within, 4-1, on sophomore Shannon Garvin's fourth home run of the season.
On the mound, Friar senior Nicole Bartholomew (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) went four innings and struck nine batters. Of the 12 outs that Bartholomew recorded, nine came via the strikeout. Villanova's Shannon Williams pitched five plus innings, allowed just three hits and struck four batters. Kat Walsh earned the save by pitching one plus innings and retiring all four batters she faced.
In the second game, Nicole Bartholomew's strong pitching led the Friars to a 6-3 victory as the Friars earned a split of the doubleheader. Bartholomew went all seven innings, striking out two batters to earn her 12th victory of the season. The Friars scored four runs in the first inning to take a 4-0 lead, capped off by freshman Sam Pittman (San Diego, Calif.), who smacked a two-out, two-run double.
Providence added two more runs in the sixth inning on a home run by sophomore Rachel Bartholomew (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) and a sacrifice fly by junior Michele Bowers (State Island, N.Y.). For Rachel Bartholomew, it marked her team-leading sixth home run of the season. Villanova scored two runs in the seventh inning on a two-out, two-run double by Kari Koller, but Koller was thrown out at third base when she tried to stretch a double into a triple.
The Friars (23-8, 3-1 BIG EAST) will host Holy Cross on Thursday, April 14 at Raymond Field.
