Cardinals Drop Two at Home Against Case Western and Roanoke

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Catholic softball team dropped both games on day two of its tournament. The Cardinals fell 10-4 against Case Western and lost 5-4 against Roanoke.

GAME ONE - Case Western 10, Catholic 4

The Cardinals opened up day two against Case Western once again. This time Sophia Colangelo took to the rubber for the Cardinals. The sophomore collected three easy outs, including a strikeout in the top of the first. The Spartans came alive in the second inning, scoring five runs using an error to move the momentum along. 

The Cardinals were able to push one across in the second inning with Lisa Payne pinch running for Kerri Hatcliffe, after she was hit by a pitch. Payne stole second and advanced to third on a fly out to center. Aubrynn Arcement earned the first RBI of the day with a groundout to the shortstop that allowed Payne to score. 

Case Western added another run in the top of the third, leading 6-1. The Cardinals once again scored when their leadoff hitter was hit by a pitch to start the bottom of the third. Sam Grillo stole second and then advanced on Olivia Stinchcomb 's single to left field. Katie Scolese picked up her first RBI of the day on a groundout to shortstop, letting Grillo score and Stinchcomb advance to third base. Elise Faxon topped off the inning with a double down the right field line, also collecting an RBI. The Cardinals trailed 6-3 after three complete innings. 

The Spartans added two more runs in the top of the fourth before the Cardinals put Alex Pley in the circle. Case Western led 9-3 after the top of the fourth inning. The Spartans tacked on another run in the 6th inning, which led to Morrigan Gardiner 's appearance. 

Gardiner held the Spartans scoreless through the rest of the sixth and seventh innings. The Cardinals kept up the fight as they went into the bottom of the seventh. Katie McHugh started the inning off with a walk, which was followed up with a double from pinch-hitter Gianna Samperi. McHugh, now on third, scored with an RBI groundout from Katie Scolese. Ultimately, the Cardinals could not add any more runs and fell 10-4 against the Spartans.

Sophia Colangelo (2-1) recorded her first loss of the season. 

Olivia Stinchcomb led the Cardinals going 2-4 and was the only one to record multiple hits against the Spartans. Elise Faxon, Gianna Samperi, and Katie McHugh also earned hits in today's matchup. 

GAME TWO - Roanoke 5, Catholic 4

In game two of the day, Catholic took on Roanoke, who were searching for their first win of the season. 

Catholic found the scoreboard first in the bottom of the first inning. Sam Grillo earned her first triple of the season to lead off the game. Stinchcomb sent a ball up the middle, sending Grillo home.

Roanoke answered in the top of the second inning with a two-run home run from Karin Kapur. The Maroons added onto their lead in the fourth inning scoring two more runs off of a double from Kapur.

McHugh earned an RBI single in the bottom of the fourth, Catholic now trailing 4-2. Roanoke quickly responded, adding a run of their own in the top of the fifth.

Olivia Stinchcomb put the Cardinals back in the game with a towering two-run homerun. This marks the third homerun of the season for the senior. Stinchcomb was also one of two Cardinals to have a multi-hit game, going 3-4. Sam Grillo went 2-4.

Both teams were shutout for the final two innings, resulting in the Catholic 5-4 loss.
