The Massachusetts softball team was able to snatch the second game of the doubleheader against Dartmouth on Saturday, beating the Big Green 14-6 by run rule.

Freshman Bailey Sanders (5-4) got the nod for the Minutewomen.

Sanders struggled out of the gate and seemed to have trouble finding the strike zone in the games initial frames. She managed to get her act together, however, and went all five innings while giving up six hits and three earned runs.

She also sat down eight Dartmouth batters by way of the K.

Junior Lauren Proctor was UMass' main RBI contributor, driving in five of her team's 14 runs. She also went 3-for-4 on the day, with three hits and two runs scored.

Also, seniors Amanda Morin and Candice Molinari had three hits each as well as two and three runs scored, respectively.

Check back here for the results of UMass' game versus Dayton scheduled for 3 p.m. today.
