Balschmiter settles in

Softball
Joe Meloni

Balschmiter fooled LIU's Brittany Murphy with a changeup for the first out of the inning. Balschmiter got ahead of Celina Castillo with two strikes, but Castillo fought back and worked the count full. The pay-off pitch moved over the outside corner, Castillo thought she drew her second walk of the game, but the home plate umpire rung her up.

After walking the third batter of the inning, Balschmiter snuck a strike by Raylene Asman to end the inning.

The Minutewomen send 9-1-2 to the plate in the bottom of the third. UMass isn't going to get many opportunities to score and cannnot waste this trip through the top of the order.
