Box Score
Â
Freshman second basewoman Colleen White belted her first collegiate grand slam in the top of the eighth inning to help Union defeat homestanding Skidmore, 6-2, in the first game of an Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association doubleheader. The second game saw Jackie Coffey hurl her fourth shutout of the season as the Dutchwomen completed the sweep with a 5-0 victory.
The two wins gives the Dutchwomen a 7-1 UCAA record and a 21-3 overall standard. It marks the fourth time in the last five year that the Dutchwomen have reached the 20-win plateau. The win also gives seventh-year head coach Peter Brown a career record of 151-75-1, which makes Brown the winningest coach in the program's 29-year history.
White, whose only hit was the bases-clearing round-tripper, made a winner of Abby Areceneaux, who is now 11-1 on the season. Arceneaux fanned 14 and did not give up an earned run.
Sophomore catcher Beth Carcone and classmate shortstop Beth Carcone also had run-scoring hits for the Dutchwomen in the top of the eighth.
The second game saw Coffey up her career record to 21-2 as she hurled a three-hit shutout. Coffey has won her last three games by the score of 5-0. Both of her losses this season have come by the score of 2-1.
Sophomore outfielder Julie Gawronski had three hits, including a triple, and drove in a pair of runs while Elise Nichols drove in the other run for the Dutchwomen. Coffey, who contributed a pair of hits to the Dutchwomen's nine-hit attack, struck out three and walked only one.
