SCOUTING PROVIDENCE:
The Friars are currently 24-16 overall this season with a 5-6 conference mark. Providence improved to 7-0 on Glay Field after defeating the Harvard Crimson in dramatic fashion, 7-5, after a walk-off two-run home run from Vanessa Portillo (Chatsworth, Calif.) in the bottom of the seventh inning. With a win tomorrow, Providence will have won its most games in a season since the 2008 season when the Friars went 25-25-2.
Providence's offense holds power from the top to bottom of the lineup, as 11 Friars have tallied a home run this season, totaling 20 home runs. Jessica Tomaso (Milford, Mass.) has a team-high four home runs after hitting a solo home run against Harvard on Tuesday, April 16. Portillo leads the team with 25 RBI after a five RBI day at the plate against Harvard, with two home runs. She now has three home runs on the season and holds a .254 batting average. Emma Lee (Orange, Calif.) has been a tough out at the plate all season, posting a .445 batting average and .496 on base percentage. Lee ranks 12th in the country in batting average and first in the BIG EAST conference. She is currently on a 15-game hitting streak dating back to Providence's 10-6 win over St. John's on March 24. In conference play, Lee is one of two Friars to be hitting over the .300 mark with a .462 conference average. Hadley Tate (Yarmouthport, Mass.) is behind Lee in BIG EAST action with a .308 batting average. Tate has three home runs on the season as Jill Karwoski's go-to option as a pinch hitter.
Daniela Alvarez (Santa Ana, Calif.) has a 13-6 record and 2.34 ERA, she has pitched 10 complete games and three shutouts. She was named the BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week on March 11. Alvarez has pitched a team-high 122.2 innings and is one strikeout shy of 100 on the season. She ranks first in the BIG EAST in ERA (2.34) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.75). Megan McCune (Orange, Calif.) and Miranda Trinidad (La Habra, Calif.) have combined for 10 wins in the circle. McCune is 7-6 with a 3.22 ERA while Trinidad is 3-2 with a 2.79 ERA.
SCOUTING SETON HALL:
The Pirates are 17-20 this season with a 4-6 BIG EAST record. Seton Hall is coming off four-straight losses after being swept by St. John's in three games and losing a mid-week matchup to Stony Brook, 6-0, on Tuesday, April 16.
Hailey Arteaga leads the Pirates with a .383 batting average as well as a league-high 14 doubles, four homers and 27 RBI. Leadoff hitter Janae Barracato has a team-high 27 runs scored and is one of three Pirates to be hitting over .300 with a .322 batting average. Only seven players have hit home runs for Seton Hall this season but they have come in bunches as the team has 22 on the season.
