Softball Snags Two At MIT, 11-6 and 4-0

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The Endicott softball team swept non-conference opponent MIT on the road, 11-6 and 4-0, on Wednesday afternoon at Briggs Field. 

GAME ONE: Endicott 11, MIT 6 

WP (10-5): Jaylin Couto (Taunton, Mass.) — 4.1 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
LP (13-4): Caroline Langmeyer (Upper Arlington, Ohio) — 3.2 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 3 BB, 1 K
SV (3): Analise Grady (Reading, Mass.) — 2.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

The Gulls rode a six-run third inning rally to victory in game one. 

Christina Nowicki (Chelsea, Mass.) started the scoring frenzy with a two-run single to center field, plating Katie Watts (Swampscott, Mass.) and Paige Berdos (Plainville, Mass.). Hadley Marchand (Andover, Conn.) followed Nowicki with an RBI single to left, and Caitlyn Romero (Southport, Conn.) did the same with a two-run single to right. Dani Lear (Groveland, Mass.) capped the third inning rally with an RBI double to left, plating Romero.

After the Engineers closed the gap in the fifth, the Blue and Green found some insurance in the sixth, highlighted by Ella Tower (Windham, N.H.) and Watts' RBI singles.

Couto toed the slab in game one and turned in a solid 4.1 innings of work before handing the ball off to Grady. Analise closed out the win and earned her third save of the season for the Gulls.

GAME TWO: Endicott 4, MIT 0

WP (8-4): Kristen Beebe (Brentwood, N.H.) — 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K
LP (4-1): Nicole Doering (St. Louis Park, Minn.) — 5.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 6 BB, 0 K

Knotted scoreless in the top of the third, Watts ignited the Endicott batts with a shot into left, scoring Berdos with her double. She later came around to score on a wild pitch, giving the Gulls a 2-0 advantage through three innings.

In the sixth, Kylyn McLaren (Rochester, N.H.) provided some insurance with an RBI single to center field, plating Tower, and in the seventh, Mia Mitchell (Medford, Mass.) made it 4-0 with an RBI base-knock to center.

That run support was all Beebe needed, as she went the distance for the Gulls in a complete game shutout. The freshman limited the Engineers to just two hits and a walk throughout the contest, dominating from the circle.

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE

• The Gulls now hold a 4-2 advantage in the all-time series.
• This is Beebe's second-career complete game shutout (Gordon, 4/9/24).
• With her third save of the season, Grady is tied for the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) lead.
• Watts collected multi-hit performances in both of today's games (two-for-three G1, two-for-four G2).
• Beebe had a no-hitter going through 5.1 innings of game two. It was broken up via a bunt single in the sixth.
