BOCA RATON, Fla. - The University of Connecticut softball drops to 2-7 on the year after a 4-1 loss to Michigan State on Tuesday in Boca Raton, Fla. With the win, the Spartans improve to 7-10 this season behind a seven-hit effort over the Huskies. Jessica Arremony (Griswold, Conn.) doubled to left field, driving in the lone UConn run in the second inning.
Amy Vaughn (Somerset, Mass.) singled through the left to get on base in the second with junior Kathleen Brenneman (Cheshire, Conn.) stepping in to pinch run for the sophomore catcher. Brenneman scored on the Arremony double after advancing to second thanks to a sacrificial bunt from senior Justine Roy (North Dighton, Mass.).
Arremony was 1-for-2 on the day with the RBI while Vaughan finished 1-for-3 at the plate.
Michigan State scored two runs in the third inning with an RBI single from Jayme O'Bryant and another from Ali Grant. The Huskies escaped more damage as the Spartans left two runners on base.
In the fifth inning, O'Bryant was once again responsible for the run, bringing Jessica Bracamonte home with a sac fly. A home run in the sixth made it a 4-1 game for the Spartans. Lauren Kramer was 1-for-2 on the day with one run scored while Bracamonte led Michigan State with a 2-for-3 effort. Bracamonte scored twice and had a pair of RBIs.
Senior Tricia Sullivan (New Bedford, Mass.) is now 0-6 for the Huskies, allowing seven hits and four runs on Tuesday afternoon. Sullivan threw the complete game, walking just one in 30 batters faced. She struck out two Spartans. Michigan State's Kelly Confer improves to 2-5 on the year. Confer allowed just two hits and one run, striking out four.
The Huskies are back in action tomorrow, Wednesday, March 10, 2010 in Orlando, Fla. where they will take on Central Florida at 1 p.m.
