Grifone Collects 200th Career Strikeout as Softball Splits with Widener

Madison, NJ (April 2) – The FDU-Florham Devils Softball Team hosted the Widener Pride for a cross-MAC doubleheader in support of Ovarian Cancer. Game one was in favor of the Devils as they carried the game into extra innings to win by a 2-1 score, but lost in game two as a late rally was short and led to a 5-3 victory for the Pride.  
 
Game 1:

FDU-Florham struck early in the game when Bianca DiSanto (Colonia, NJ) sent the ball in the direction of the shortstop to bring Grace Capparelli (South Plainfield, NJ) home from third base, during the second inning.
 
Widener took their opportunity in the seventh inning with an RBI single to force extra innings.
 
The Devils quickly played a three-and-out inning against the Pride's offense and then slowly worked their way through three batters to an RBI ground out by Jada Lambright (Clifton Park, NY) for the 2-1 extra innings win.
 
Erin Sinatra (Colonia, NJ)(8-4) threw out a new season-high of 13 strikeouts on 31 batters in all 8 innings and helped with a quick and effective effort in the eighth inning to bring up the Devils' offense.
 
Game 2:
 
Widener has settled in their rhythm during the third inning as they added their first two runs. Two innings later in the fifth,  they attached a 2-run RBI double to left field and a RBI single up the middle to make it a 5-0 game.
 
Pinch hitter Riley Smith (Woodlyn, Pa) gave a quality at bat by accounting for an RBI single. FDU was able to hold on until the top of the sixth inning to have Giulia Olear (Cranford, NJ) bring in the Devils' second run, and soon after the third run by Caydence Barton (Sayreville, NJ).
 
Defensive tenses were high on both teams, causing the remainder of the game to have no runs scored, which resulted in Widener having the 5-3 win over the Devils.
 
Starting in the circle for game two was DiSanto as she gave an effort of 3 strikeouts through four innings. Junior Sydney Grifone (Veron, NJ) appeared for the last three innings and threw 5 strikeouts, including her 200th collegiate career strikeout.


FDU-Florham will look back at MAC Freedom side of the conference as they are set to travel to DeSales on Saturday, April 5 for a 1pm and 3pm double header.
