RPI box / Marywood box

Clermont, FL – Stockton University (3-3) played for the third straight day in Florida and split its two games. The Ospreys suffered a 6-5 setback to unbeaten RPI (7-0) but then pounded Marywood (0-3) 13-0 in five innings.
 
Freshmen Nicole Petrovich (East Hanover/Hanover Park) and Alexandra Cosenzo (East Hanover/Hanover Park) each hit their first career home run against RPI. Petrovich came off the bench to go 2-2 with two runs and two RBI. Carli Shaw (Bordentown/Bordentown) and Holly Arentowicz (Roxbury/Roxbury) also contributed two hits apiece.
 
With Stockton trailing 1-0, Cosenzo led off the bottom of the fourth with her first college homer to tie game 1-1. RPI responded with four unearned runs on four hits and an error in the top of the fifth. Petrovich led off the bottom of the fifth with a memorable first college hit, a solo homer to make it 5-2.
 
The Ospreys rallied into a 5-5 tie with three runs in the sixth frame. Arentowicz singled and later scored on a pinch-hit RBI single by Alexis Dunphy (Hainesport/Rancocas Valley). An RBI single by Petrovich made it 5-4 and then Daniela Marinaro (Cedar Grove/Cedar Grove) followed with an RBI double to score Petrovich with the tying run.
 
RPI took advantage of another Stockton error to pull ahead 6-5 with an unearned run in the top of the seventh. In Stockton's last at-bat, Shaw singled with one out and advanced to second on a passed ball but was stranded there as two flyouts ended the game with the Ospreys falling 6-5.
