PRINCETON, N.J. - Although junior Cristina Cobb-Adams got the Princeton softball team on the board first, the Tigers dropped a doubleheader against non-conference opponent Saint Joseph's at the Class of 1895 Field. Princeton fell 3-1 in the opener and were blanked, 2-0, in the second game. The Tiger's overall record slips to 33-16, while the Hawks improve to 16-19 on the season.
Princeton's lone run of the day was in the first inning of game one. Junior Erin Snyder hit a single to right field and drove Cobb-Adams home from second base. Cobb-Adams advanced to base with a lead off single up the middle.
In the first game, the Hawks scored all of their runs off three hits in the third inning. Cara Deldeo hit a home run to left center field with a runner on for the first two runs and two batters later Rachel Pawlikowski scored off a single.
Senior Ty Ries gunned out two runners at second base from the plate in the first game. Ries caught a runner in the fourth inning going for an extra base after hitting a one-out single. Later, in the sixth, sophomore Calli Jo Varner caught a batter looking for the third strike and Ries fired the ball to Cobb-Adams at second to catch the runner trying to steal second on the strikeout.
