Softball takes twinbill off UMaine-Presque Isle

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

FARMINGTON, Maine -- The University of Maine at Farmington first year pitcher Carleigh Schievink tossed a one-hitter to lead the Beavers to a 5-0 win over visiting UMaine-Presque Isle, helping UMaine-Farmington to complete a doubleheader sweep over the Owls in a North Atlantic Conference twinbill on Saturday at Prescott Field.

In the day's first game, the Beavers rallied to plate a single run in the bottom of the sixth inning on their way to a 6-5 triumph over the Owls.

Schievink fanned three UMaine-Presque Isle (3-23, 2-5 NAC East) batters in the game two shutout triumph over the Owls.

UMaine-Farmington (4-18, 3-3 NAC East) put up a single run in the bottom of the third, then exploded for four runs in the fifth. Leah Stevens and Emma Campbell crossed on Kiley Merritt's infield grounder which resulted in an UMPI error, and Olivia Paradis singled home Merritt on the ensuing at bat. Taylor Veilleux's sacrifice fly to left field allowed Paradis to cross for the Beavers' fourth run of the frame.

In game one, UMaine-Farmington scored twice in the first inning and added a single run in the second inning to take a 3-0 lead over UMPI. The two teams traded runs in the third, giving the Beavers a 4-1 advantage.

The Owls knotted the game at 4-4 with a three-run uprising in the top of the fourth, keyed by Dalaney Anfinson's two-run single into center field.

UMF's Veilleux put the Beavers back in front, 5-4, in the fifth inning with a base hit up the middle that plated Christa Allen, however the lead was short-lived with the Owls' Jordan Hansen hitting the day's only home run to tie the contest at 5-5.

The Beavers pushed the game-winning run across in the bottom of the sixth inning. Stevens reached on a single, eventually scoring on Paradis' grounder to second base.

Veilleux went 3-for-3 at the plate for UMaine-Farmington with a run scored and two RBIs.

UMaine-Farmington softball concludes its 2022 home slate on Sunday, April 24, when it hosts UMaine-Presque Isle in a doubleheader starting at 11:00 a.m. at Prescott Field.
