Blue Demons can't overcome seven-run deficit

CHICAGO – It was a back-and-forth affair on Sunday afternoon as DePaul softball came up just short to Seton Hall in a 13-11 slug fest at Cacciatore Stadium. Led by a career-high four RBIs from sophomore Addison Talbot, the Blue Demons comeback bid came up short after trailing by seven runs in the early stages of the series finale.

Talbot was one of five DePaul batters who recorded a multi-hit outing including Anna Wohlers, Baylee Cosgrove, Nicole Sullivan and Carly Alvers. Sullivan drove in a trio of runs including two on a bases clearing triple in the seventh inning. Grace Frazier knocked in a pair while Payton Viles and Alvers each pushed a run across.

For the second-straight day, all three active pitchers saw time in the circle for the Blue Demons. Brenna Smith started in the circle and went an inning and a third, surrendering seven runs on four hits. Freshman Abbey Pochie hurled three and a third, allowing four runs on seven hits while Katey Pierce closed out the contest.

How It Happened

Seton Hall (29-12, 12-3 BIG EAST) grabbed an early 7-0 advantage after tallying seven runs in the second inning capped off by a grand slam
The Blue Demons responded in the home half with a trio of runs after the bases were loaded on a Pirates fielding error and a pair of walks. A five-pitch walk drawn by Viles brought a run home before Talbot lined a base hit to left center to score two more.
Four hits and an error brought DePaul three more runs in the third inning to trim the deficit to just one. Sullivan notched a leadoff double down the left field line before Alvers sent a base hit to center and landed at second to put a pair in scoring position. A fielding error allowed Tori Meyer to reach and load the bases for Frazier to bring a run home on a single to left. Talbot followed up with a double to the wall to make the score 7-6.
Seton Hall pushed their lead to five runs in the fifth inning on four hits and a walk.
In the sixth inning, Wohlers sparked a three-run rally with a leadoff base hit before Cosgrove notched an infield single and Johnson loaded the bases with a walk. Sullivan drew a five-pitch walk to push a run across and Alvers came to bat and sent a single up the middle to score another run. Frazier's fielder's choice pushed Johnson across and DePaul found themselves within two runs, 11-9.
The Pirates added more insurance on a two-out, two-run rally in the top of the seventh to claim a 13-9 advantage.
Looking to extend the contest, Wohlers totaled her second hit of the day and Johnson followed suit for Sullivan to clean up with a two-out triple but the rally stopped there as Seton Hall claimed the sweep.
