PERFECTION! Torres Werra tosses perfect game in Mammoths' split with Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Amherst College first-year Dani Torres Werra tossed a perfect game -- 21 Springfield batters up, 21 down -- in an 8-0 Mammoths' win Wednesday. 

It was the Mammoths' first perfect game since Lauren Peloquin '02 threw a spotless gem around the turn of the century. 

Amherst settled for a split, losing the second game 5-1 as its record moved to 13-6 overall. The Mammoths will host Trinity in a Saturday doubleheader beginning at 12 p.m.

GAME 1 HIGHLIGHTS:

* Amherst broke open a scoreless game with three runs in the third and three in the fourth as both Autumn Lee and Randi Finkelstein went 3 for 4 at the plate and six different Mammoths drove home a run. 

* In the Amherst third, Rachel Lovejoy laced a single to center and scored when Lee followed with an RBI-double to center. Torres Werra came up and blasted a shot down the right-field line for an RBI-triple and a 2-0 lead. She scored on Jess Butler's sacrifice fly to left. 

* In the Mammoths' fourth, Finkelstein led off with a single and Audrey Orlowski drew a walk. The runners moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Talia Bloxham and scored when Megan Taketa  lined a two-run triple down the left-field line. Taketa scored when Lovejoy ripped an RBI-single through the right side of the infield for a 6-0 lead. 

* In the meantime, Torres Werra was cruising from the circle. She retired one batter on a groundout and 14 on flyouts. In the bottom of the sixth, she struck out the side, exactly one-half of her six strikeouts in the contest. She retired Pride batter Sam Wittner on a fly out to center field in the seventh to capture the win and the perfect game. Torres Werra improved to 5-1. 



GAME 2 HIGHLIGHTS:

*  Springfield scored three in the first off Orlowski and never looked back as Pride hurler Ashley Pugliese limited the Mammoths' offense to only four hits and one walk during her complete-game effort. 

* Taketa, Lee, Lovejoy and Mia Castro each had one single for Amherst. Bloxham pitched four innings of relief, allowing four hits and one run while walking no one and fanning no one.
