Devens' Walk-Off Home Run Caps Softball's Twinbill Sweep of AIC

COLCHESTER, Vt. - Sophomore Jenna Devens (Parsippany, N.J./Parsippany) drilled a walk-off three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to finish the Saint Michael's College softball team's sweep of American International College, 2-1 and 7-5 in nine innings, on Friday at Doc Jacobs Field. Devens capped the Northeast-10 Conference doubleheader with the first walk-off home run in the modern history of the program.

She hit what is believed to be the first walk-off home run by a Purple Knight since the program was reestablished in 1990.

  • The Purple Knights have won six of their last seven home meetings with AIC.

However, AIC picked up three runs on four hits in that frame alone, with Wells knocking a two-run double before scoring on Jimenez's tying RBI single. First-year left fielder Brooke Edgerly (Morley, Mich./Morley Stanwood) prevented further damage by throwing a second runner trying to score on Jimenez's knock out at the plate.
  • Sanchez dumped a two-out RBI double into right field to plate the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, but Connor came off the bench to send a two-out RBI single back up the middle and force another extra frame.
  • Gora drew a bases-loaded walk with two down in the ninth to put AIC up 5-4, but Devens finished off the Yellow Jacket rally with a strikeout.
  • Botting led off the home half with a triple to the gap in right, and Pratt walked before stealing second base. Devens followed by launching her three-run home run to straightaway center field.
