The announcement was made at the annual post season banquet on Sunday following a team vote.

Tori Balta’s two-run double in the bottom of the sixth inning helped lead Yale to a 4-2 victory over Brown in the first game of an Ivy League doubleheader. The seniors then played a big role in the second game. Mariclaire Rebman hit a three-run homer, Katie Yanagisawa knocked in two runs and McKynlee Westman added a hit as the Bulldogs competed the sweep with a 7-5 win.

Instead, it came up just short, and the Bulldogs dropped a 5-4 decision at Brown in the second game of an Ivy League doubleheader. The Bears won the opener 2-0.

It will not be rescheduled. The Bulldogs conclude the season with back-to-back doubleheaders against Brown. The first one is Friday at 2 p.m. at Dewitt Family Field. The teams then play in Providence on Saturday beginning at 12:30 p.m. Thu, 28 Apr 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-softbl/2010-11/releases/201104280vmbj5 2011-04-28T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-softbl/2010-11/releases/20110427jwkuh2 The last time the Yale softball team played doubleheaders on three straight days, the results were quite good. Yale won all six games, outscored its opponents 47-28 and batted .361 as a team. The Bulldogs hope for similar good fortune when they face the same scenario for the second time, starting Thursday at home against Marist at 2:30 p.m. Yale then hosts Brown on Friday at 2 p.m. and wraps up the season on Saturday at Brown at 12:30 p.m. Wed, 27 Apr 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-softbl/2010-11/releases/20110427jwkuh2 2011-04-27T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-softbl/2010-11/releases/20110426eotzg7 The Yale softball team got to one of the top pitchers in the Ivy League in a big way on Tuesday. Yale hit two home runs and scored 10 runs against Harvard’s Rachel Brown, who entered the day with a stellar 1.94 earned run average in league games. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, Harvard has a pretty potent offense as well. As a result, the Crimson escaped with a wild 12-11 victory in the opening game of a doubleheader. Harvard completed the sweep with an 11-3 win in the second game.

The first of the two was the Bulldogs’ 58th of the season, which broke the school record. Unfortunately Yale couldn’t string together enough hits and dropped a doubleheader to the Ivy League North Division leading Crimson. Harvard won the opener 8-0 and took the second game 11-1.

On the second pitch of the day, Jennifer Ong belted her 15th double of the season, setting a new school record. That was the start of a big first game for the Bulldogs, who cruised to a 9-1 win. Wagner came back to take the second game 7-4.

The Bulldogs won all six, completing the perfect weekend with a doubleheader sweep of Rhode Island on Sunday. Jennifer Ong had two hits and knocked in three runs, including the game-winner in the bottom of the eighth, as Yale won the first game 4-3. Christy Nelson’s RBI double scored Mariclaire Rebman in the bottom of the seventh inning of the second game as the Bulldogs won a wild 12-11 decision.

Chelsey Dunham tossed a three-hit shutout in the opener as the Bulldogs cruised to a 7-0 victory. Dunham then pitched three innings of shutout relief as Yale rallied for a 12-7 win in the second game.

The Bulldogs will have the last at bat in all six games. Yale has dropped three straight, all coming when the opponent scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Bulldogs hope their fortunes change when they play three doubleheaders in three days at Dewitt Family Field. Fri, 08 Apr 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-softbl/2010-11/releases/2011040761vw0r 2011-04-08T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-softbl/2010-11/releases/201104080zykgq The Yale softball team was certainly due for some late-game heroics. Freshman Tori Balta made sure it happened. Balta’s single through the left side of the infield scored Christy Nelson with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Bulldogs to a thrilling 2-1 victory over Penn in the first game of an Ivy League doubleheader at Dewitt Family Field. Yale completed the sweep in less dramatic but equally impressive fashion. The Bulldogs banged out 16 hits and cruised to a 10-6 win over the Quakers.

The Bulldogs took leads into the bottom of the seventh inning of both games against Providence only to see the Friars rally and win both ends of the doubleheader. Justine Stratton’s third homer of the game, this one a grand slam, lifted PC to a wild 12-10 victory in the opener, and Michelle Huber’s RBI single capped a two-run seventh-inning rally in the nightcap as Providence won 2-1.

The Bulldogs may need to be just as sharp offensively when they play two games at Providence on Wednesday. The Friars have belted 27 home runs in 33 games and average nearly 3.5 runs per game.

Turning those hits into runs has been the issue. The Bulldogs went a long way toward solving that problem in Sunday’s doubleheader with Princeton. Yale banged out 27 hits in the two games but more importantly scored 21 runs to earn a split with the Tigers.

Dalrymple continued her mastery of the Bulldogs, along with the rest of the Ivy League, by tossing a four-hit shutout to lead the Big Red to a 3-0 victory in the first game of a doubleheader. Cornell won the second game 10-2.

There is, however, a catch. Because Cornell’s field is not playable, the doubleheader will be held at Ithaca College’s Kostrinsky Field.
