BIDDEFORD — The University of New England and Roger Williams University each captured one contest in Sunday’s Commonwealth Coast Conference softball doubleheader at Claude Dubois Field Sunday, as RWU won game one, 6-3, in eight innings and UNE logged a 12-5 decision in game two.

The Nor’easters (7-7, 3-1 CCC) answered a five-run Roger Williams third inning with five scores of their own in the last half of the frame to go up 6-5 in the nightcap, and pulled away with a pair of runs in each of the next three frames.

The Hawks (5-6, 1-1 CCC) never trailed in the opener, and after conceding the a game-tying run to the hosts in the bottom of the seventh, scored three times in the extra stanza to get the victory.

A bases-loaded single off the pitcher by Mollie Bartles in the second inning of game two put UNE ahead, but five hits coupled with two errors in the RWU third made it 5-1. Haley Ledbetter and Alicia McCauley each recorded two-RBI singles to help push the Hawks in front.

Big Blue made the most of three hits, two walks and an error in its portion of the third, as Kelly Murphy started the Nor’easters back with an RBI single and both Meghan Bolano and Bartles followed with two-RBI doubles to the outfield gaps.

Katelyn Austin, who was tagged with just two earned runs from the UNE circle, retired 12 of the last 15 batters she faced, and none of the other three advanced past first base. She finished with five strikeouts to even her record at 3-3.

Adrienne Chase padded the lead (7-5) with an RBI double in the fourth and Bartles capped a 4-for-4 performance with a fourth RBI during the sixth and the Nor’easters extended to the final margin.

Murphy added three hits and scored twice for UNE, while Bolano had a pair of hits and two RBIs. Amanda Vallante and Cat Ouellette each crossed the plate two times.

Ledbetter and Mikaela Grosso had two hits apiece for Roger Williams. Tori Milano took the loss in a little more than two innings of work.

Five Hawks tallied two hits in game one, including Grosso and Ledbetter, as well as Taylor Messier, Meredith Moise and Chelsea Boulrisse. Gross gave RWU the lead in the top of the third on a two-RBI double to left-center. Messier scored her first of two runs on the play.

UNE got runs back in the third and fourth innings, courtesy of run-scoring hits by Vallante and Bolano.

Roger Williams went up 3-2 in the fifth, but a lead-off single to the shortstop by Sydney Helmbrecht and a sacrifice bunt set the stage for a Vallante RBI double to right-center that tied things up for the Nor’easters.

The Hawks regained the advantage for good in the top of the eighth when Julianne Vesce put a pinch-hit, one-out single into left to plate one. Ledbetter later scored on a wild pitch and Moise notched an RBI single to establish the three-run margin.

Meghan Maliga shut down Big Blue in its last at-bat, finishing up the complete-game win to move to 3-2 on the year.

For UNE, Vallante led the way with three hits, while Helmbrecht and Murphy each added two. Sara Pelkey got a no-decision in seven innings of work in the circle, surrendering two earned runs. Abby Lambert was charged with the setback.

The Nor’easters did not allow a free pass to the Hawks all day.

UNE next hosts Colby College for a non-league game on Wednesday.
