St. Mary boxscore / Hood boxscore

Clermont, FL – Stockton University (3-1) split two games on their second day in Florida, dropping the first contest 6-3 to St. Mary's (IN) before redeeming themselves in the afternoon with a five inning 11-2 win over Hood College (MD).

In the opener, Stockton had numerous opportunities but let the game slip away. The Ospreys rapped out nine hits but could not get the timely knock, as they left nine runners stranded on base. A four-spot by St. Mary's in the second inning proved to be all of the runs that they would need.

The Ospreys plated single runs in the third through fifth innings, highlighted by a Savannah Riotte (Elizabeth/Elizabeth) blast to left for her first home run of the season. St. Mary's added two more runs to set the final score at 6-3. Brittany Ksiezopolski (Hillsborough/Hillsborough) suffered her first loss of the season, tossing 4.1 innings before giving way to Hannah Bibeault (Hopatcong/Hopatcong) to finish up. Riotte and Dominique Dorris (Mantua/Clearview) led the offense with two base knocks each.

In the afternoon affair, the Ospreys sent 11 batters to the plate in the first and third innings to explode for all 11 runs. Samantha Shockey (Deptford/Deptford) led the 12-hit barrage with three hits, two RBI and two runs. Shockey also tossed three innings of one-hit ball in the circle and Stockton allowed just two unearned runs. Riotte and Dorris each had two hits and two more RBI in the onslaught.
 
Stockton will play two more games in Florida tomorrow, taking on Rhode Island College at 9 am and then facing Thiel College (PA) at 11 am.
