Mammoths red-hot hitting leads to sweep of WPI, 8-2 & 11-9

WORCESTER, Mass. -- Randi Finkelstein drove in eight runs and crushed three home runs Wednesday to help power the Amherst College softball team to an 8-2, 11-9 sweep of Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

The Mammoths improved to 12-2 overall. They are back in action Saturday for a doubleheader at Wesleyan University as conference play begins. First pitch is 12 p.m.

GAME 1 Highlights:

* Sadie Pool opened the top of the second with a single. Dani Torres Werra singled her to second and after a forceout, Finkelstein lined a sacrifice fly to deep center field for a 1-0 lead. 

* In the Amherst fourth, Autumn Lee led off with a double and Pool followed with a two-run home run that made it 3-0 Mammoths. Torres Werra followed the long ball with a single and Jess Butler doubled her to third. Finkelstein came through with an RBI-single for a 4-0 lead.

* Up 6-1 in the top of the sixth, Finkelstein launched a solo home run to left, her fourth of the season. 

* Torres Werra picked up the win from the circle, going 5 strong innings and allowing only three hits and one run while not walking a batter and striking out seven to improve to 4-2 on the season.

GAME 2 Highlights:

* Down 2-0 after the first, Abby Moravek lined a two-run double in the top of the second to tie the game and scored on Rachel Lovejoy's double to give the Mammoths a 3-2 lead. 

* Down 4-3, Amherst tied it in the third when Finkelstein's RBI-groundout scored Pool.

* Amherst took the lead for good in the fourth when, with one out, America Rangel beat out a bunt for a single, then went to second on a wild pitch. Lovejoy reached on an error that advanced Rangel to third and Lee plated both runners with a to-run double for a 6-4 lead. 

* The Mammoths made it 9-4 in the fifth when Torres Werra led off with a single, Butler lined a single to right center, and Finkelstein destroyed a pitch for a three-run home run to left. 

* Up 10-4 in the top of the seventh, Finkelstein lined a solo homer to center for her third home run of the day and sixth of the season. 

* Down 11-4, WPI rallied for five runs and trailed 11-9 with runners on second and third with two outs when Moravek got the final batter to line out to right field to end the game. 

BY THE NUMBERS:

* On the day, Finkelstein was 5 for 7 with 3 HRs and 8 RBI. Pool and Torres Werra were both 4 for 7 in the twinbill.
