The junior’s offense got busy early, bringing in two of her four RBI in the first two innings of the game giving the Redcoats an early 4-0 lead. The Redcoats would tack on six more runs at the bottom of the fourth to take a commanding 11-1 lead. Berlin would go on to score five more runs en route to the victory.

Berlin recorded 16 hits during the contest, while New Britain was able to get 14 hits in total including a 3-for-5 performance from sophomore Gabriella Roy. Roy also knocked in four RBI for the Hurricanes— who fall to 3-4 on the year.
Despite the win, Redcoats’ head coach Jason Pires said his team had numerous lapses on defense throughout the game that frustrated him and hopes they can fix them as soon as possible.
“We made far too many mistakes on the field,” said Pires, “and that was a disappointment. We had been a very good defensive team throughout the season. I’m just going to chalk it up as a bad game and I’m not going to make a big deal out of it. But I am going to expect them to play much better.”
However, one positive Pires did take away from the game was his team’s offense, which he said has been consistent all year.
“We scored 17, 17, and 16 runs the last three games,” Pires said. “We scored in every inning today and that’s a big deal to us. We also talk about pushing and never giving up because we got to keep the momentum going as much as possible.”
