The softball team continues to prove its mettle in doublehea
der action, securing its third straight sweep of the season onSunday and improving to 6-0 on the season. The Judges defeated Penn State Erie, the Behrend College by a 10-8 score in the first half of the doubleheader and Salve Regina University by a 7-2 margin in the second game.

Meanwhile, the baseball team suffered a 9-8 loss in walk-off fashion in the University Athletic Association Championship opener on Sunday and lost to Washington University in St. Louis by a score of 8-3 on Monday, dropping their season record to 4-4, 0-2 in UAA games.

Starting pitcher Samantha Wroblewski '17 came away with the win against Salve Regina to improve her record to 1-0. Wroblewski faced 14 batters in four innings and did not allow a hit or an earned run, also striking out five players.

The Judges got on the board immediately in that game, scoring four runs in the top of the first inning.

Center fielder Amanda Genovese '15 got things going with a leadoff bunt-for-hit to reach first base. Genovese proceeded to steal second and third base, eventually reaching home on a single by right fielder Danielle Novotny '16 for the first run of the game.

After stealing second base and advancing to third on a wild pitch, Novotny came home herself off a single up the middle hit by designated player Melissa Nolan '14.

The team added two more runs in the third inning and one in the fifth to increase their lead to seven runs. Salve Regina scored two runs of their own in the bottom of the sixth off Nolan, off a two-RBI triple by sophomore catcher Genevieve Benoit. However, it was not enough, as Brandeis held on for the 7-2 victory.

The squad earlier used a late rally to defeat Penn St.-Behrend, capitalizing on two run-scoring doubles and a passed ball to bring home three runs in the bottom of the eighth and lead the team to victory.

The baseball team struck first against UAA rival Case Western Reserve University. First baseman Tom McCarthy '15 drove in left fielder Brian Ing '14 on a single to the left side of the field in the bottom of the first inning.

Brandeis continued to pile on the runs, scoring at least once in each of the next six innings to head into the eighth with an 8-3 lead.

Case came back with a four-run eighth to cut the lead to one run in the ninth.

After Brandeis failed to score in the top half of the inning, Case junior left fielder Will Meador hit the walk-off game-winning double and two runners scored to give Case the comeback win.

On Monday night, the Judges resumed the tournament with an 8-3 loss to WashU.

The Bears scored the first two runs of the game, on an RBI double in the top of the 1st inning and a sacrifice fly in the 3rd inning to grab a 2-0 lead over the Judges.

Down 3-0 in the bottom of the fifth, O'Connor singled up the middle to bring in the Judges first run. O'Connor brought in a second run in the seventh inning on a fielder's choice to cut the lead to 5-2.

The Judges would pull within two runs in the eighth before WashU added three runs of their own in the ninth to put the game out of reach.

Both squads continue the UAA Championships throughout the week in Altamonte Springs, Fla.
