BABSON PARK, Mass. – Kayla Yoshioka Montalvo's two-run double highlighted a five-run eighth as Coast Guard exploded in extra innings to salvage a split of a key New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) doubleheader at Babson. The Beavers won the opener 6-1 before Coast Guard won game two 6-3 in eight innings.

Coast Guard is now 5-1 overall and in the NEWMAC, while Babson is 3-1 both in the conference and overall. Springfield is now the only unbeaten team left in conference play with a 4-0 record.

The Bears are back in action on Saturday when they host Wheaton in a NEWMAC doubleheader at noon.

GAME ONE – BABSON 6, COAST GUARD 1

Babson scored four runs in the top of the first with the big hit coming off the bat of Brooke Stock, a two-run double, and Stock (2-0) allowed just three hits and one run while walking two and striking out nine to get the complete-game win.

The Bears only run in the opener came on a solo homer by Katie Becker, her first of the season in the fourth. Lillia Farlow and Isabelle Shroyer also had a hit for the Bears.

Shroyer (2-1), who began her collegiate career with back-to-back shutouts, allowed four earned runs in going the distance. She did not walk or strike out a batter.

GAME TWO – COAST GUARD 6, BABSON 3 (8 INNINGS)

Kayla Yoshioka Montalvo's two-run double highlighted a five-run fifth as Coast Guard salvaged the split with the 6-3 extra-inning win.

Amanda Moore (3-0) scattered 10 hits over her eight innings and allowed a pair of earned runs while walking two and striking out five to win for the third straight time.

Christine Carey's RBI single in the fifth broke a scoreless tie and it appeared it would hold up and give the Bears a 1-0 win before Alicia Bagan's RBI double with one out in the bottom of the seventh tied the game and sent it to extras.

Farlow's RBI double in the eighth gave Coast Guard a 2-1 lead. Jackie Carter drew a bases-loaded walk and Mariah Dewey followed with an RBI single to push the lead to 4-1 before Yoshioka Montalvo's two-run double made it 6-1.

The Beavers did not go quietly, cutting the deficit to 6-3 and the tying run at the plate before Moore got a ground out to end the game.

Dewey was 3 or 4 while Farlow added a pair of hits to lead the Coast Guard 10-hit attack in the game two win.
