The Hartford Softball team achieved a commanding doubleheader sweep against Curry College, winning 10-8 in the first game and 9-1 in the second. Junior Adelie Beebe starred with multiple home runs, driving significant runs to help secure the team's wins. In the first game, the Hawks exploded in the fourth inning to take an 8-0 lead, which Curry closed to 8-8 before Hartford regained control. The second game saw the Hawks quickly jump to an early lead, with Beebe's two homeruns dominating the offense, leading to a shortened five-inning victory.

By the Numbers
  • Adelie Beebe hit two home runs and drove in four runs across both games.
  • Carly Mayhood pitched five innings in the second game, allowing only two hits and striking out seven.
Yes, But

Curry managed to mount a late-game rally in the first game, tying the score at 8-8, which highlights potential vulnerabilities in Hartford's pitching and defense that may need addressing in future games.

State of Play
  • The Hawks are currently at the beginning of their conference play, with the sweep improving their momentum.
  • Inconsistent performances in fielding allowed Curry to challenge Hartford late in the first game.
What's Next

Hartford will host Wentworth Institute of Technology for another doubleheader, where they aim to maintain their winning streak and further solidify their conference standing.

Bottom Line

The Hawks' explosive offense, spearheaded by Beebe, is promising, but they must rectify defensive lapses to ensure continued success as conference play heats up.
