Great Danes Smash Three Home Runs to Complete Series Sweep of UMBC With 9-0 Win

Albany, N.Y. - Melissa Herndon drove a two-run homer to center, while Andrianna Walraven and Jess Bergin smashed solo home runs to lead UAlbany to a 9-0 win in five innings, completing the three-game sweep of UMBC in America East Conference softball action on Saturday afternoon at Albany Field.

            The Great Danes took a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Katie Wambold drove in two runs with a double into center field, scoring Diane MacDowell and Walraven. Kylie Apostolina sent Wambold home on a ground out to short, while Bergin recorded her first hit of the day with an RBI single to score Gina Mason. UAlbany added two runs in the second inning, as Walraven drove a ball over the center field fence and Mason came home later in the frame. Bergin's lead-off homer in the third gave UAlbany a 7-0 lead.

            The Great Danes scored the final two runs of the game in the bottom of the fourth on Herndon's long ball to center that scored Mason. Herndon and Bergin both went 2-for-2 on the day with two RBI apiece. Apostolina and Wambold also drove in two runs.

            UAlbany's Brittany MacFawn earned the win in the circle after a three-inning performance. MacFawn scattered four hits and struck out three without issuing a walk. Allie Weiser tossed the final two innings, allowing just one hit and fanning one. Stephanie Weigman and Heather Brown split time in the circle for UMBC (20-21, AE 5-10), with Weigman taking the loss.

            UAlbany (20-18, AE 11-1) will return to action on Tuesday, visiting crosstown-rival Siena for a non-conference double-header at 3 p.m.
