After a split of a doubleheader on Friday against Bentley University, on Sunday, the New Haven softball team split another doubleheader against Assumption University in Worcester, Mass. In game one, the Chargers managed just one hit off right-handed pitcher Kaelin Waldron. Pinch hitter Gianna Depino broke up the no-hitter in the top of the sixth.
It’s difficult to come away with wins in both games of a doubleheader, especially when facing your crosstown rival. Teams know what to expect and understand the importance of every moment that plays a crucial role in determining the outcome of the game. A team’s ability to win games is largely built on their pitching.
