Hawks Sweep Final Day in Space Coast Spring Games

MELBOURNE, Fla. -  The Hartford softball team swept the final day of action in Florida defeating Grinnell College and Millikin University.

Rapid Recap Grinnell College (W 6-5):
  • The Hawks quickly jumped ahead as sophomore Adelie Beebe (Sacramento, Calif.) singled and came around to score on a senior Olivia Wolk (Sugarloaf, Pa.) double in the bottom of the first. The Pioneers would even the game in the top of the third on a RBI double. Hartford answered with a three spot in the bottom of the frame. It started with senior Azya Walker (Oak Forest, Ill.) stealing second and third before scoring on an error. Sophomore Sydney Matz (Ellington, Conn.) added the next RBI singling home Wolk who tripled to get on base. Freshman Lucy Lembo (Albany, N.Y.) brought home the fourth run doubling to right center to score Matz and give the Hawks a 4-1 lead. 
  • Grinnell added a second run in the fourth, before getting three runs in the fifth inning on three hits to take a 5-4 advantage. In the bottom of the sixth inning the Hawks came through in the clutch again as junior Gia Miccio (Bellmore, N.Y.) tripled to score junior Taylor Fitch (Andover, Conn.). Senior Sarah Serrano (Windsor, Conn.) added the winning RBI hitting a sacrifice fly to plate Miccio to give the Hawks the lead. Junior Carly Mayhood (Newton, N.J.) shut the game down striking out a pair in the seventh to clinch the win.
