Game 1/ Game 2

Galloway, NJ – Stockton University (27-9, 10-4 NJAC) swept a doubleheader from Rutgers-Newark (16-18, 4-10 NJAC) by scores of 9-0 (5 inn.) and 5-1 on Sunday afternoon. Samantha Shockey (Deptford/Deptford) led the way with five hits and three RBI on the day plus garnered the win in game one in the circle. The Ospreys mashed 27 hits on the afternoon.
 
The Ospreys broke open a close contest in the opener as they exploded for four runs on seven straight hits in the bottom of the third, keyed by a Holly Arentowicz (Roxbury/Roxbury) RBI double. They tacked on another five counters in the fourth inning, with the big blow being a two-RBI double by Alexa Massa (Moorestown/Moorestown) for the 9-0 margin.
 
Shockey allowed just one hit in four innings for her 13th win of the year. Hannah Bibeault (Hopatcong/Hopatcong) tossed the final inning for the combined shutout as the game ended on the eight-run rule after five innings. Arentowicz and Casey Schieda (Monroe Twp. /Monroe Twp.) had three hits each, with Massa picking up three RBI.
 
The nightcap was a different affair as the Scarlet Raiders finally broke through for a run in the top of the first against Shockey. Stockton answered with a run when Danielle Lugo (Vineland/Vineland) doubled then scored on a Shockey RBI hit to knot the game at 1-1. The Ospreys took control of the contest in their half of the fourth, plating four runs to move the score to 5-1.
 
The home team used four hits and two errors to score the four markers. Shockey added to her RBI total with a two-run single that plated Lugo and Chelsea Thomas (Barrington/Haddon Heights) who had reached on a walk and single respectively. A fielder's choice and error led to the other two scores for the 5-1 advantage for Stockton.
 
That would be all the scoring as Victoria Torp (West Milford/West Milford) came on in relief of Shockey to throw 3.1 innings of three-hit shutout ball for her seventh win of the season. Bibeault closed out the game, allowing one hit over the final 1.2 innings as the Ospreys completed the sweep 5-1.
 
Dominique Dorris (Mantua/Clearview) and Thomas aided the offense with two hits each in the second game. Lugo scored three times on the day, with two coming in game two.
 
Kayla Gallo and Kelsey Lucas rapped two hits each for the visitors in the two contests, with Lucas picking up the only RBI for Rutgers-Newark.  
 
Stockton will be back in action on Tuesday when they host Kean University for an NJAC doubleheader. Game one is scheduled for 3 p.m.
