Sunday, March 17, 2002 TRINITY SOFTBALL SQUAD OPENS SEASON WITH SPLIT IN FLORIDA Fort Myers, Fla.- Junior first baseman Maureen Heneghan (Windsor, Conn.) went 4-for-seven in the two games to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a 9-7 win over Framingham State College and a split of its season-opening softball doubleheader at Lee County Sports Complex. The Bantams dropped their first game, 9-2, against Brockport State College. The Bantams are now 1-1, while Brockport improved to 1-0 and Framingham dropped to 1-3. Freshman catcher Sarah Hoyle (Ansonia, Conn.) belted a two-run double to left-center field to key a four-run first inning for the Bantams against Framingham State. Framingham closed to 4-3 after two frames, before Trinity capitalized on three errors to score three runs in the top of the fourth inning. Framingham tied the score off Trinity junior right-hander Kristi McDermott (Barrington,R.I.) in the top of the fifth inning on three singles and two Bantam errors, but Trinity rallied for a pair of runs in the top of the sixth stanza. Heneghan walked, stole second base, and was advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt. Heneghan scored on an error for the go-ahead run and senior co-captain Liz Bontempo (Granby, Mass.) touched home on another Framingham State miscue. McDermott allowed just eight hits and one earned run over seven innings to earn the win on the mound for Trinity. Bantam sophomore Lauren McDowell (Chilmark, Mass.) took the loss against Brockport State, which scored six runs in the third inning to highlight the victory. Game 1
