Strong pitching from Senior, Jenna Harvey, in both games 1 and 2 pushed Wellesley past NEWMAC opponent Coast Guard on Saturday afternoon's showdown. The Blue won game 1 by a final tally of 7-0 and muscled out their second victory of the day in game 2 with a 2-1 final score.
Contributions were delivered across the board for Wellesley in game 1. Wellesley struck first in the top of the third inning in game 1 with singles from Sophomore, Ilana Orloff and Sophomore, Megan Wood. Senior, Kara Wong, sacrificed Orloff home. Insurance came for the Blue in the top of the sixth inning after Harvey singled and a Shawna McCreadie homerun blast delivered two additional runs. Four more runs came for the Blue in the top of the seventh with R.B.I.s from Harvey, McCreadie, Sophomore, Alex Houghtalin, and Junior, Amanda Tai.

In game 2, Coast Guard took an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Wellesley knotted things up at 1-1 in the top of the fifth inning after Junior, Amanda Tai, hit a one-out double, moved to third on a Barbarajean Grundlock sacrifice, and scored on a passed ball. The game moved into extra frames and remained deadlocked until the top of the ninth inning when Senior, Meghan Sullivan, hit a clutch R.B.I. single that scored First-Year, Ali Davis. Harvey captured the win in the bottom of the ninth.
Senior, Kristie Gola , pitched seven strong innings in game 2 and allowed one run and six hits. She struck out three Bear batters. In extra innings, Harvey struck out five Coast Guard batters.
