NEWPORT, R.I.—Senior Moira O'Reilly (Columbus, Ohio) tossed back-to-back no-hitters and recorded 18 strikeouts to help Babson College sweep both ends of a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) softball doubleheader at Salve Regina University on Saturday afternoon. 

The Beavers won the opener 4-0 and then defeated the Seahawks 10-0 in five innings in game two. Babson has now won four straight games and seven of its last eight to improve to 20-15 overall and 9-7 in conference play, while Salve Regina has dropped its last eight outings to fall to 12-22 overall and 5-13 in the NEWMAC. 

Game 1: Babson 4, Salve Regina 0
O'Reilly (12-7) struck out 14 and walked just one batter while recording the third no-hitter and program-record 20th shutout of her career. She fanned the first seven Salve Regina batters and retired the final 14 hitters she faced after walking first-year Emily Moskal (Southington, Conn.) with one out in the third. 

First-year Emily Walsh (Flemington, N.J.) went 3-for-3, graduate student Kate Karamouzis (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) was 2-for-3 and senior Molly Hennessy (Tallahassee, Fla.), junior Sara Moore (Kennett Square, Pa.) and first-years Jackie Paglieri (Upper Saddle River, N.J.) and Charlotte Raymond (Wrentham, Mass.) each drove in a run to lead the Babson offense. 

Scoreless through four, the Green and White got singles from Hennessy and Karamouzis and a walk to graduate student Cassidy Musco (Walpole, Mass.) to load the bases before Paglieri plated the game's first run with a ground out to second. Graduate student Michaela Russell (Boston, Mass.) reached on a throwing error to start the sixth and scored two batters later on an RBI ground out by Raymond to make it 2-0. 

Junior Athena Hadjipanayis (Rye, N.Y.) followed with a triple to right center and came home to score when Hennessy reached on an error extending the Babson lead to 3-0. The Beavers tacked on another run in the seventh as Paglieri drew a leadoff walk and stole second before coming around on Moore's single to center. 

Sophomore Caroline Peterson (Halifax, Mass.), who gave up just three hits over the first four frames, dropped to 5-7 with the loss for the Seahawks after along three runs, just one of them earned, on seven hits in 5.2 innings. 

Game 2: Babson 10, Salve Regina 0 (5 inn.)
O'Reilly became the first pitcher in Babson history to toss no-hitters in consecutive games while winning her ninth straight decision to improve to 13-7 on the season. She struck out four and walked the second batter of the game before retiring Salve Regina's final 14 hitters. 

Hennessy was 2-for-3 with three RBI, Russell went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored, and Hadjipanayis finished 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI to lead the Beavers. Karamouzis contributed an RBI double and Moore walked and scored twice in the victory. 

Moore walked and scored and Hennessy came through with a two-out, two-run single to give the Green and White a 3-0 lead in the top of the first. Hennessy and Karamouzis both knocked in a run in the third and the Beavers got a sacrifice fly from Raymond and a two-run double from Hadjipanayis in the fourth to make it 8-0. 

The Beavers tacked on two more runs in the fifth as Russell smacked a bases-loaded double to center.  

Junior Alex Kelly (East Meadow, N.Y.) took the loss for the Seahawks after giving up five runs on sixhits and two walks in just 2.2 innings to slip to 5-7 on the year. 

Babson will host No. 14 Tufts for a single game on Tuesday at 4 p.m., while Salve Regina travels to UMass Dartmouth for a 3 p.m. doubleheader on Thursday.
