LEESBURG, Fla.—Senior Sara Moore (Kennett Square, Pa.) and sophomore Emily Walsh (Flemington, N.J.) each drove in three runs and graduate student Moira O'Reilly (Columbus, Ohio) recorded a season-high 11 strikeouts to help Babson College defeat McDaniel College 10-2 in six innings on Friday morning. 

With its third straight win, Babson ends its week in Florida at 8-3. McDaniel has dropped two of its last three games to slip to 6-5-1 on the year. 

Moore singled twice, had a stolen base and scored once, Walsh went 2-for-4 with a run scored and junior Sophia Pak (New Rochelle, N.Y.) finished 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored to lead the Beavers' 11-hit attack. Senior Athena Hadjipanayis (Rye, N.Y.) also record two hits, including the 100th of her career, and graduate student Cameron Whiteford (Centerville, Md.) walked and scored twice in support of O'Reilly, who picked up her first win by allowing just one earned run on four hits over 6.0 innings. 

Junior Ryan Smith (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) and first-year Ally McBride (Glen Burnie, Md.) both doubled and first-year Emma Taff (Taneytown, Md.) and sophomore Libertie Schatzman (Bonita Springs, Fla.) each recorded a single in the loss for the Green Terror. Senior Hannah Costa (Bayville, N.J.) allowed two earned runs over 5.0 innings to drop to 2-2 on the year with the loss. 

The Green and White broke open a scoreless game with three two-out runs in the bottom of the third. Pak legged out an infield single and Whiteford walked before junior Allie Cubberly (Lagrangeville, N.Y.) reached on a fielding error allowing first-year Belle DiCampello (Pottstown, Pa.) to race home with the game's first run. Walsh then ripped a single through the right side to bring home two more for a 3-0 advantage. 

Moore led off the fourth with a base hit and scored on an error after Hadjipanayis' infield singe to make it 4-0 and Pak stretched the lead to 5-0 with an RBI ground out. McDaniel got on the board thanks to Smith's two-out double to left in the top of the fifth but the Beavers answered back in the bottom of the frame by loading the bases before pushing across a pair of runs on RBI ground outs by Moore and Hadjipanayis. 

Walsh made it 8-2 with a bases-loaded ground out in the sixth and Moore came through with a two-out, two-run single back up the middle to bring home Pak and Whiteford with the final two runs. 

Babson will return to action on Saturday, March 29, when it travels to Coast Guard for a NEWMAC doubleheader starting at 12 p.m.
