Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 FORT MYERS, Fla. (March 14, 2013) – The Drew University softball team ended their spring break trip in style, after winning 6-5 in eight innings against Bridgewater State and defeating St. Joseph's College-Brooklyn 15-3. The Rangers have now won six-straight games and improve to 6-4 on the season.

Game 1
After scoring 24 runs in two games yesterday, the Rangers exploded for 15 runs against St. Joseph's-Brooklyn this morning. Drew scored three runs in their first at bat thanks to a wild pitch, an error and an RBI double by Jeramie Barletta (Madison, N.J./Madison).

The Bears tied the game up in the top of the third on an RBI single by Danielle Marino. St. Joseph's-Brooklyn also received RBIs by Megan Moran and Millicia Malvasio in the frame.

The Rangers took the lead for good in the bottom half of the inning, putting four runs up on the scoreboard. The Rangers then erupted in their next at bat, plating eight runs after sending 14 batters to the plate.

Drew was issued a season-high 14 walks by the Bears pitching staff and scored 15 runs on only five hits. Four of the Rangers five hits came off the bats of Casey Reggiani (Whippany, N.J./Whippany Park) and Kate McNamara (Levitttown, N.Y./MacArthur) who each had two hits in the contest.

Game 2
The final game of the trip proved to be the most exciting as the back and forth battle between Bridgewater St. and Drew needed eight innings to determine a winner. The Bears made the game interesting by making the score 4-3 in the bottom of the sixth and then tying the game up at four in their final turn at the plate.

With two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Jennifer Shaw ripped an RBI double to left field that scored Brianna DeNucci who got on base earlier in the frame on a single through the left side.

Playing the international tiebreaker rules, Lexie Forsell (West Windsor, N.J./West Windsor-Plainsboro) was placed on second base and scored on an RBI single to left by Barletta. The senior then came home on a wild pitch later in the inning to cap a two-run eighth inning for the Rangers.

Bridgewater did not go out without a fight, scoring one run on a suicide squeeze play in the bottom half of the eighth. The Rangers got the second out of the inning on the play and Drew pitcher Laura D'Ornellas (Lanoka Harbor, N.J./Lacey Twp.) retired the final batter of the game on a ground out right back to her. The sophomore struck out a career-high seven batters and earned her second victory of the season.

Barletta was 3-for-4 in the second game with a couple of RBIs, she finished the day going 4-for-6 with four RBIs and four runs scored.
