CLERMONT, Fla. – Priscilla Pino singled in Tayler Donze with two out in the top of the seventh inning to give Williams College a 4-3 victory over Eastern Connecticut State University Monday afternoon at the National Training Center.

Batting ninth in the order, Donze opened the inning with her third hit of the game, and with the bases loaded and two out, came home on Pino's  single which bounced over the head of Eastern (1-8) pitcher Summer Cipriani (North Stonington) and under the glove of shortstop Alyssa Hancock (Waterford) into center field to plate the go-ahead run.

Hancock's two-out single that landed on the left field chalk following an 11-pitch at-bat gave Eastern life in the bottom of the seventh, but Williams (4-0) complete-game freshman pitcher Alejandra Magana retired cleanup hitter Kristyn Ryan (Barkhamsted) on a first-pitch foul fly to first to record her first career win in her first start.

On Monday morning, MIT (1-4) lashed 13 hits off two Eastern pitchers, scoring in every inning and sending the Warriors to a 9-1 setback in a game shortened to five innings due to the eight-run rule.

Cipriani goes the distance in loss 

A junior lefty, Cipriani (0-3) went the distance for the first time in her career in the loss to Williams, giving up 11 hits and one walk and striking out two. Cipriani allowed two hits in each of the final five innings but never allowed more than a single run in those innings.

Eastern led by a run twice in the game but had to rally to tie the game, 3-3, by scoring an unearned run in the fifth on opening bunt singles by Danielle Robillard (Swansea, MA) and Hancock and two-out passed ball while Cipriani was batting.

Ryan's two-out RBI single staked Eastern to a 1-0 lead in the first after Hancock was hit by a pitch with two out and stole second and the Warriors re-took a one-run lead in the third on a leadoff triple by Samantha Bardos (Norwalk) and Robillard's two-strike single to left.

Robillard and Hancock each had two of Eastern's eight hits.

MIT breaks game open with four-run second

The Engineers scored two unearned runs in the first on two hits and an infield error and broke it open in the second with four runs on six of their 13 hits. Five of the first six batters had hits, with No. 3 hitter Amanda Lee chasing Eastern starter Samantha Valentine (Ridge, NY) with a one-out, two-run double that made it 5-0.

Alexandra Marshall tossed a complete-game four-hitter, fanning nine and walking only one.

Wednesday, Eastern faces the University of Chicago at 1 p.m. and the College of St. Scholastica at 3 p.m. at Clermont.
