WALTHAM, Mass. – Shortly after making its home debut with a series win over Saint Michael's, the Bentley softball team prepares to host Assumption for a doubleheader Tuesday, March 31, starting at 2:30 p.m.
 
Three out of four ain't bad

Maddie Baker hit .615 (8-for-13) against Saint Michael's. She drove in seven runs while posting a ridiculous .923 slugging percentage thanks to her four doubles.
 
Throwing heat
Freshman Taylor Zajac earned two complete game victories against the Purple Knights, one of which was a five-inning outing. For the weekend, Zajac posted a 2.33 ERA while holding batters to a paltry .196 batting average.
 
From the nine hole
Bella Burke wreaked havoc batting ninth all series against Saint Michael's. She hit .583 (7-for-12) with a triple, a double, and five runs scored.
 
J-Mo moves up
Jess Morrison moved up to batting No. 2 in the lineup this past weekend, and she answered the call. Morrison hit .462 (6-for-13), drew a walk, stole a base, and scored six times in four games against Saint Michael's.
 
The right pick
Maddie Pickett posted 2.47 ERA through 11.1 innings against Saint Michael's. She struck out eight batters and issued only three walks.
