Missed Opportunities, Shaky Defense Derail Bulldogs after Enos' Gem in Game One

April 26, 2008               Game 1 Box / Game 2 Box

Smithfield, RI - Anne Dobmeier's (Buffalo, NY) RBI double was all the offense senior Janine Enos (Wareham, Mass) would need as she tossed her sixth shutout of the season to lead the Bulldogs past Assumption 1-0 Saturday afternoon. But in game two, the Bulldogs committed five errors and dropped a 3-2 decision.

Enos (14-4) won her second straight 1-0 decision. On Tuesday, she shut out Saint Anselm in ten innings before going seven full Saturday. The senior struck out five and did not walk any. The only Bulldog offense came on Dobmeier's double in the bottom of the sixth. After a Jennifer Serrano (Stoneham, Mass.) single and a sacrifice bunt by Stephanie Mirando (North Haven, CT), Dobmeier doubled deep off the left-centerfield fence.

In game two, the Greyhounds jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the third on RBI singles by Amanda Monge and Marissa Palumbo. The damage could have been worse, but centerfielder Kim Breton (Leominster, Mass.) threw out Monge at the plate to end the inning.

The Bulldogs knotted the game up in the bottom of the frame thanks to back-to-back triples by Breton and Serrano and an error plated two. The Greyhounds went up for good in the fifth when Korina Salafia laced an RBI single to put the Hounds up 3-2. The Bulldogs last good chance came in the sixth when Ali Chouinard (Swansea, Mass.) drew a walk and Kate Thomas (Bedford, NH) knocked a single.

The Bulldogs appeared to take the lead when pitcher Lauren Symonick threw a roller by Ashley Coon (Levittown, PA) down the right field line, scoring Chouinard and Thomas. But the umpires conferred and ruled that Coon's bat had hit the ball twice, making it a dead ball strike. The runners were returned to first and second and Coon eventually grounded out.

The Bulldogs return to action tomorrow (Sunday) with a noon doubleheader with St. Michael's. The Bulldogs will honor seniors Enos, Serrano, and Jessica Valentini (Cliffside Park, NJ) on Senior Day.
