With an 11-0 victory over Bridgewater State College, the Wellesley Blue have lived to see another game in the 2008 NCAA DIII New England Regional Softball Tournament. Looking to prove themselves after a previous 3-1 defeat by host-Rhode Island College, Wellesley jumped on the board early in the top of the first inning, 2-0. Seniors, Kara Wong and Jenna Harvey picked up RBIs, both with bases loaded. In the bottom of the first inning, the Bears threatened to score with bases loaded as a result of two walks and a hit, but Harvey was on fire and retired the side with a strikeout. Wellesley continued their offensive hitting streak in the top of the second inning as Sophomore, Megan Wood, added an RBI complement to Wong's and Harvey's previous inning batting prowess. After two innings, Wellesley was up 3-0.
The Blue contributed three runs to their game tally in the top of the third inning as Senior, Alex Coari added an RBI with a bunted single. Junior, Amanda Tai, roped a double to left center field that enabled two more runs to cross the plate. As if six runs were not enough, Wellesley decided to pad their lead in the top of the sixth inning when Harvey jacked a three-run homerun over the left field fence. The other two runs were scored as result of a Tai single. Harvey and Tai each contributed four RBIs on the game.
Defensively, Harvey won her seventeenth game of the season and her tenth shutout victory. She allowed three hits and struck out four Bears in six innings.
