Devlin Delivers in the Clutch to Lead Softball to Doubleheader Split at LIU Post

YAPHANK, N.Y. – Megan Butts (West Chester, Pa./Henderson) pitched an eight-inning complete game as the University of New Haven softball team downed the LIU Post Pioneers 2-1 in the second game of a doubleheader on Monday afternoon. The Pioneers took game one 8-3.

Butts allowed one run on seven hits, walking just one and striking out four in authoring her fourth complete game in as many starts. Remaining composed, she did her best work of the game in the sixth inning, battling out of a bases loaded jam, keeping the score tied at 1-1.

Four Chargers had a multi-hit day. Julie Devlin (Baldwin, N.Y./Northwood School), Taylor Luzzi (Fishkill, N.Y./John Jay) and Catherine Vaughan (Commack, N.Y./Hauppauge) each had three hits during the twinbill while Sierra Whitlock (Woodbridge, Va./Woodbridge) had two.

GAME ONE HIGHLIGHTS

  • LIU Post methodically built an early lead, scoring two in the first and fourth and one in the third to go up 5-0.
  • The Chargers got on the board in the top of the fifth as Erin Stever (Parish, N.Y./Altmar Parish Williamstown) was hit by a pitch leading off the inning, advanced to second on a passed ball and moved to third on a groundout. Whitlock came to the plate and laced a double to centerfield to plate the runner.
  • After the Pioneers scored three times in the bottom of the fifth, New Haven responded with a pair of tallies in the sixth. With one out, Luzzi singled and moved to third on a Devlin double. Stever followed with an RBI single to center, bringing home Luzzi and moving Devlin to third. Alexandria Cunkle (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin) stood in as a pinch-hitter and grounded out, bringing home Devlin to cut the lead to 8-3.
  • For the game, Devlin had two hits and Stever reached base twice. In the circle, Alyssa Monteverde (West Islip, N.Y./West Islip) retired all four batters she faced in 1.1 innings of work.

GAME TWO HIGHLIGHTS

  • The Blue and Gold jumped on the board early as leading off the first inning, Vaughan doubled. She moved to third on a groundout by Whitlock and came in to score on a sac fly off the bat of Marissa Colby (Charlton, Mass./Shepherd Hill) for a 1-0 Chargers lead.
  • LIU Post knotted the game in the fourth inning on a one out double by Gianna Gatto that followed a leadoff triple from Julia Seader.
  • Both teams had chances as the game moved on. New Haven had two runners on base in fifth, but was unable to cash in. The Pioneers loaded the bases in the sixth before Butts got a groundout back to the circle to end the inning.
  • In the eighth, Colby singled with one out before Madison Derosia (Brattleboro, Vt./Brattleboro Union) came in to pinch-run. After a groundout moved the runner to second, Devlin singled to right, scoring Derosia to put New Haven up 2-1.
  • Butts finished the game off well in the bottom of the inning, retiring LIU Post in order to finish off her fourth win of the season.
  • Luzzi and Vaughan each had two hits in the second game of the twinbill.
