Game 1: Rivier 6 Pine Manor 1
Game 2: Rivier 11 Pine Manor 4

Chestnut Hill, MA - The Raiders (12-1; 6-0) came out sluggish in both games but eventually pulled away to rack up two more conference wins. Senior Monica White (Augusta, ME) laced a ball down the rightfield line for a 1-out triple in the third inning. Freshman Taylor Cournoyer (Mansfield, MA) brought her home for the first run of the game on a single up the middle. Senior Jess Mellen (Rockland, MA) produced a 1-out double in the very next inning and was brought home on a groundout by junior Amanda Ryan (W. Bridgewater, MA). Freshman Katie Bachinski (Northfield, MA) followed suit with a 1-out triple of her own while Monica White picked up the RBI. Taylor Cournoyer got a 2-out rally started by singling and was plated by a single from freshman Mandy Thornton (Hanover, MA). Solo RBI's by Cournoyer and Ryan plated Bachinski and White, who each got on with base hits. This accounted for the 5-run cushion. Senior hurler Monica White gave up a solo homerun in the bottom of the seventh inning which was her only blemish of the day. She scattered 5 hits while striking out 14.

It was Pine Manor who set the tone in Game 2 as they pushed across four runs in the first two innings of play. Those were the only runs they would score which allowed the Blue and Gray to chip away at the lead. Freshman Taylor Cournoyer (Mansfield, MA) roped a 1-out double in the fourth and was brought home by an RBI single from freshman Marissa Mercier (N. Smithfield, RI). The Raiders tied things up with a 3-run fifth. Junior Amanda Ryan (W. Bridgewater, MA) reached base on an error by the leftfielder. Senior Brenna Campbell (Nashua, NH) walked and a sacrifice bunt from freshman Ashley Metivier (Hudson, NH) advanced runners to second and third. Freshman Katie Bachinski (Northfield, MA) stepped in and cranked a 2-RBI double over the centerfielder's head. Taylor Cournoyer followed with a double of her own to send Bachinski across homeplate. Senior Monica White (Augusta, ME) entered the circle in the fifth inning with the game tied at 4. She shut the Gator offense down by striking out another 3 batters. Amanda Ryan deposited a 1-2 offering over the leftfield fence with the go-ahead and eventual game-winning run. The Raiders broke it open in the seventh as they scored six more times. Bachinski led off the inning with a double. An RBI triple by White followed by an RBI single for Cournoyer got things started. The highlight of the inning was the grandslam homerun sent sailing over the centerfield fence by Brenna Campbell. Senior Alexa Feener (Franklin, NH) was superb in short relief as she threw 2 innings of no-hit ball while striking out a batter.
