first inning single plated the game’s first run for the
Eagles. Le Moyne responded in the top half of the second as senior
Jennifer Farrelly (Latham, NY / Shaker) pushed
across the Dolphins’ first run on an RBI double down the left
field line. Le Moyne’s bid for a second run was cut down at
the plate as Farrelly was thrown out on a relay from the
centerfielder.
Southern Indiana used three hits and two Dolphin errors in the
bottom half the of the second to get to freshman Brenna
Klien (Huntington Beach, CA / Ocean View) in her first
start for the Dolphins. Klein allowed five hits, four runs (one

Hadley Clark would record the final out en route to a complete game
victory. Clark scattered eight hits on the day against two
runs.

hits and struck out five in pushing her career record to 18-1.
