Game 1 Recap – Wagner 1, Saint Peter's 0

The Seahawks scored one run on four hits, which proved to be enough to come out on top in game one of the afternoon.

Wagner got on the board in the third inning. Following consecutive two-out singles by senior Brianna Tredway (Downingtown, PA / Downingtown West) and freshman Kaila Smith (Millville, NJ / Millville), first-year Seahawk Amelia Van Orman (Orange, CA / Lutheran High School of Orange County) came through with an RBI single to left center, giving the Seahawks a 1-0 lead.

Sophomore Lauren Serrato (Litchfield Park, AZ / Verrado High School) had the fourth hit in the contest for Wagner, with the Peacocks also combining for four hits throughout the game. The Green and White left seven runners on base, while Saint Peter's stranded nine.

In the circle, senior Gina Massaro (Levittown, PA / Conwell-Egan Catholic) earned her second win of the season, going 5.1 innings while striking out four. Senior Morgan Brown (Buckeye, AZ / Verrado) came on in relief in the sixth and earned her first save of the season.

Brown did not give up a hit, but inherited a runner in scoring position when she entered the game. The junior got Candice Carlucci to ground out to shortstop, before a popup by Schieler Collins ended the threat.

In the top of the seventh, the Peacocks moved the winning run into scoring position, but Brown struck out Saint Peter's Sydney Ramsey in finishing the game.

Eight different Seahawks recorded a hit, including seven players with two hits, as the Green and White's offense produced 11 runs on 15 hits, headlined by six doubles, in game two.

Wagner got off to a quick start in this one, scoring two in the second inning.

A Lauren Serrato RBI double four batters later extended the lead to 2-0.

After Saint Peter's scored its lone run of the game in the top of the third, the Seahawks responded with a big inning, scoring seven runs on seven hits in the frame.

Junior Stefanie Aplin (Nesconset, NY / Smithtown East / Georgian Court University), Tredway, Smith, and van Orman hit four straight doubles to open the frame, putting up three runs in the process. With the bases loaded five batters later, freshman Zoe Bender (Glen Rock, NJ / Glen Rock) singled home Van Orman, while Aplin walked in a run in her second at bat of the inning. Tredway then picked up her third RBI of the inning with a two-run single.

The Seahawks rounded out the game with two runs in the fourth on RBI singles by sophomore Karen Prihoda (Hamilton Square, NJ / The Lawrenceville School) and Bender.

Dual threat Van Orman, who picked up the game-winning RBI in game one, hit two doubles while also picking up the win in the circle, going five innings and striking out two.

The Seahawks will be back in action for a Northeast Conference (NEC) doubleheader on Friday, April 14, when they travel to LIU Brooklyn, starting at 1:00 pm.
