BOSTON, Mass. - Junior 2B
Kendall Allen (Naugatuck, Conn.) homered in the first game and went 1-for-2 with two RBIs in the second, but the visiting Western Connecticut State University Wolves lost, 4-1, and, 11-2, to the University of Massachusetts-Boston Beacons in Little East Conference (LEC) softball action this evening. WestConn falls to 10-24 overall and 1-13 in the LEC while the Beacons improve to 21-11 overall and 6-8 in the league. The Wolves will host Wesleyan in a doubleheader tomorrow at 4 p.m.
WestConn junior RHP Lindsay Farinachio (Red Hook, N.Y.) tossed a complete game in the opener, allowing seven hits, two earned runs and two walks with one strikeout. UMass Boston starter Lauryn Meade allowed the only Wolves hit of the day in the fourth inning when Allen blasted a solo homer to make the score, 4-1. Both pitchers were perfect the rest of the way. WestConn took a 1-0 lead in the second game when senior SS
Jaycee Filancia (Hopewell Junction, N.Y.) singled and scored on an RBI single by Allen. Filancia scored again in the third frame, singling and scoring on an Allen sacrifice fly. The Beacons scored 11 unanswered runs, however, including six in the sixth to end the game an inning early.
