Six Run Fourth Lifts Rutgers Over Hampton
Hampton's scheduled game with North Dakota was postponed until Sunday at 2 pm due to the noreaster hitting Hampton Roads.
The Lady Pirates pushed a run across in the first inning and took the lead to 4-2 after putting up three in the bottom of the third. Blackwell drove in two of those with a single to left to plate Alana VanDenburg and DeSha Hill.
Rutgers exploded for six runs in the top of the fourth but Hampton responded with a quick two runs in the bottom of the inning. Brianna Anderson opened with a walk and scored on a Sarah Kollas double. Kollas scored on a double by Lorena Alvarez.
The Scarlet Knights scratched a run in the fifth and three more in the sixth to hold a 12-6 lead. In the bottom of the seventh, Hampton used a two-run single by Blackwell to score Taylor Warrick and Kial Watts for the final margin.
Joining Blackwell with three hits on the day was Watts who was 3-for-4 with a run scored and one driven in.
Hampton returns to action on Saturday at 1 pm facing Maryland Eastern Shore and then a rematch with Rutgers at 3 pm.
