Of Note:
The Stags kicked off today's game with the first run in the top of the first inning. Megan Forbes put the visitors up 1-0 with a double up the middle to plate Haley Updegraff. 

A Charli Warren triple in the top of the second put Fairfield up 3-0 before the Pioneers answered in the bottom of the frame. After a walk and a single put two on for SHU, Victoria LoPinto brought the home team's first run in with a single through the right side. 

Jenna Mowad followed in the next at-bat and drove Myah Eldred home from third with an RBI single of her own. The Pios tallied their final run of the frame on an error by the Stags' centerfielder to knot the game at 3-3. 

Unfortunately for the Pioneers, Fairfield's pitchers held SHU scoreless for the remainder of the contest. The Stags, on the other hand, scored one run in the fifth and sixth innings to secure a 5-3 road win. 

In the circle, the Pios employed four pitchers this afternoon, as Liv Vadas started and got a no-decision after 3.0 innings with three earned runs. Jenna Pfister suffered the loss in 2.0 innings of work, while Carlie Williams and Sam Kowalski each tossed an inning.
