Big Day For Anguiano As B-CU Sweeps UMass-Lowell

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  -- Sabrina Anguiano had a game-winning hit and her first collegiate shutout as Bethune-Cookman swept UMass-Lowell Saturday at Sunnyland Park.

Anguiano's two-out, bases-loaded single in the bottom of the seven scored Destinee Williams to give the Wildcats (8-14) the come-from-behind 2-1 win. In the second game, Anguiano scattered five hits and struck out four as the Wildcats posted a 3-0 decision.

Kelsey Rodney drove in two runs in the second game and three of the Wildcats' four runs for the day.

UMass-Lowell (1-8) kept B-CU hitless for four innings and took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fifth.

The Wildcats answered when Rodney broke the no-hitter by drilling a two-out single to right to score Destinee Williams to tie the game.

In the seventh, Williams and Calesha Shelley reached on error.  After two outs, a double steal advanced to Williams and Shelley to third, and the Riverhawks elected to pitch around Bailey Conner and intentionally walked her.

Anguiano made them pay with a single up the middle for the win.

Bailey Conner struck out a season-high nine to get the first game win. She walked five, but gave up four hits.

B-CU’s bats showed up early in the second, as back-to-back doubles from Shelley and Rodney gave the Wildcats a quick 1-0 lead.

The Wildcats added runs in the third when Williams scored on a Kaitlin Alamprese single and in the fifth when Williams scored her third run of the day, this time on a Rodney sacrifice fly.

Anguiano, now 3-6 on the season, only allowed one runner past second base, and got an infield pop-up double play to get out of that potential jam.

B-CU travels to Stetson Sunday morning to face Memphis at 10 a.m. and South Dakota at noon as part of the Stetson Invitational.
