SB: Rain Washes Out Series Finale At JMU

Box Score

Harrisonburg, Va. - Heavy rain has canceled Hofstra's scheduled Colonial Athletic Association game at James Madison University on Sunday. The contest, originally set for a 12 p.m. start, is not expected to be made up.

The Pride won the opener of a doubleheader against the Dukes on Saturday, 2-0, and led 4-0 in the top of the sixth in Game 2 when rain suspended that contest. That game is now officially a 4-0, 5-inning victory for Hofstra. The Pride improved to 28-13 overall and 13-0 in CAA play with the two-game sweep in battle of first-place teams in the league. Hofstra is now ahead of the Dukes by 3 ½ games after JMU fell to 24-23 and 10-4.

Junior pitcher Olivia Galati threw two complete-game shutouts in the series. She did not allow a hit through five innings in the second game and since the game is officially concluded, Galati registered her third five-inning no-hitter of the season and the sixth no-hitter of her career, tying Stacy Jackson (1992-95) for the most no-hitters in program history.

Fellow junior Tessa Ziemba hit her team-leading 11th home run in the first inning of the second game, lining an opposite-field two-run home run to tie for the CAA lead in homers.

Galati made the run support stand up. JMU's only base runner came in the second when pitcher Sarah Mooney drew a one-out walk. Galati (21-5)  recorded her 11th shutout and 24th complete game in winning her 19th straight start.

The Pride will next be in action in a non-conference tilt against Princeton on Tuesday at 5 p.m. from Hofstra Softball Stadium.
