Castleton Splits LEC Doubleheader With Plymouth State After 10-Inning Battle in Game Two

 

PLYMOUTH, N.H. – The Vermont State University Castleton softball team split a Little East Conference doubleheader with Plymouth State on Tuesday afternoon. The Spartans earned a 1-0 win in the opener before falling 3-2 in 10 innings in game two. 

Game 1

  • Final Score: 1-0 Castleton

  • Location: Plymouth, N.H. | D&M Park

  • Records: 14-6 (6-1 LEC) Castleton | 8-12-1 (1-2 LEC) Plymouth State

How it Happened:

Castleton scored the game's lone run in the first inning, as Makayla Walsh doubled down the left field line for an RBI to give the Spartans a 1-0 lead. 

The Spartans put runners on throughout, including a leadoff single from Alexis Rogers in the second and a walk from Madison Gould in the third, but couldn't add insurance. Plymouth State reached on an error in the third, but Castleton worked out of the inning. 

Maddy Dudley added a single in the fifth and Carolyne Burlone drew a walk in the sixth, but the score held. Gould and the defense retired all three batters in order to secure the shutout. 

Top Performers:

  • Records: 9-12-1 (2-2 LEC) Plymouth State | 14-7 (6-2 LEC) Castleton

How it Happened:

Plymouth State took an early 1-0 lead in the second inning before Castleton evened the score in the fifth. Dudley and Samera Rideout sparked the rally with back-to-back hits before Alex Brouillette delivered an RBI single to tie the game at 1-1. 

The game stayed even into extra innings, where the Spartans moved ahead in the ninth. With the bases loaded, Castleton pushed across a run on a fielder's choice to take a 2-1 lead. 

Plymouth State answered in the bottom half with a sacrifice fly to even the score once again. In the 10th inning, the international tiebreaker rule was implemented, placing a runner on second to begin the inning. The Panthers moved the runner to third on a wild pitch before scoring the winning run on a sacrifice fly to end the game. 

Both starting pitchers from Game 1 appeared in relief during the extra-innings game.
