Berry Bests Hiram to Move to Regional Championship Round

GREENCASTLE, Ind. - Morgan Frye hit her school-record 12th homer of the season, Hannah Gore pitched a three-hit shutout and No. 10 Berry moved to the Championship Round of the NCAA D-III Greencastle Regional with a 10-0 win over Hiram Saturday morning.

For the second game in a row at the regional, the Vikings scored in the top of the first. Anna Jackson rocketed a solo homer over the fence in center to give BC a 1-0 advantage.

The score stayed the same until the third, when Frye struck to make school history. The sophomore drilled a shot to right center, over a secondary retaining fence another 40 feet beyond the 200-foot wall. The two-run blast made it 3-0.

In the fourth, the Vikings took advantage of two Hiram miscues to score a fourth run. With the bases loaded, Katie White grounded a ball to second, and the throw home eliminated Abbey Gamble; however, an illegal pitch was called and the count was set at 3-1 with White still up. On the next pitch, White grounded a ball back to second, but this time the throw home bounced away, allowing Gamble to score and make it 4-0.

With two runners in scoring position in the seventh, the Vikings got a single to left off the bat of Shelby Daniel to score pinch runner Grace Hamilton for a 5-0 lead. Later in the inning with the bases loaded, Gamble and Sydney Moroney each drew bases loaded walks to give BC the 7-0 cushion. With the paths still filled, Aleeya Thornton singled up the middle to score Blair Hall, then a throwing error brought in Gamble to make it 9-0. Pinch hitter Katie Parker would cap the scoring with a sacrifice fly to left to give the Vikings double-digit runs for their third game in a row.
