Minutewomen take one from Indiana

Softball

UMass won the first game of an afternoon doubleheader with a 8-5 comeback victory over Indiana. With her team down 5-4, junior middle infielder Stacy Cullington took the Hoosier pitcher yard with a grand slam in the top of the seventh.

UMass pitcher Brandice Balschimiter gave her teammates a little scare after loading the bases with two down in the bottom half of the inning. The sophomore managed to gather her poise, however, and get Indiana's Stephanie Pellerito to ground into a force out to seal the win.

The Minutewomen start the latter half of the doubleheader against Tennessee Tech any minute. The lineup of the Minutewomen is as follows:

Amanda Morin 1B
Candice Molinari CF
Whitney Mollica 3B
Samantha Salato SS
Lauren Proctor LF
Stacy Cullington 2B
Amanda Acampora DP
Emily Wehr C
Carly Normandin RF
Brandice Balschimiter P
