Balschmiter bares down

Softball

After Brittany Murphy drew a lead-off walk, the Minutewomen kept the Blackbirds from .

Whitney Mollica snatched a bunt attempt and fired to second. The throw pulled Whitney Williams off the base, but she applied the tag for the first out. Vanessa Mejia then pulled a Balschmiter offering to first base, but Amanda Morin gathered it and threw to second for the force out.

Another walk and a call for an illegal pitch, put runners at second and third with two outs for Jessie DePippo.

Brandice Balschmiter took over from there and blew two fastballs by DePippo to end the threat.

Heading into the bottom of the seventh, the score is tied at 3.

Jessica Serio, Whitney Williams and Amanda Morin are due up for UMass.
