Pitt Honors Rylee DiTullio and its Seven Seniors Saturday
5/8/2021 7:39:00 PM | Softball
PITTSBURGH – The University of Pittsburgh softball team honored Team Impact player Rylee DiTullio and its seven seniors Saturday afternoon in a double-header against Florida State at Vartabedian Field.
NEWS & NOTES
The scoring for both teams did not start until the third inning, as Florida State (38-9-1, 26-5-1 ACC) got on the board first with three runs. The Panthers answered with two runs of their own after freshman Cami Compson singled and Seamans hit a two-run homer to centerfield, her 13th of the season. Pitt trailed 3-2 after three innings.
The Seminoles took a 4-2 advantage in the top of the fifth, as Josie Muffley grounded out to third base but scored a run in the process. In the bottom of the sixth, Compson opened the inning with a leadoff walk and Seamans reached via an error. Senior Hunter Levesque moved the runners over to third and second with a sacrifice bunt, setting up sophomore Bailey Drapola with a big opportunity. Drapola hit a two-run double over the right fielders head, scoring both Compson and Seamans and tied the game at 4-4.
Florida State broke the tie with one run in the top of the seventh as Anna Shelnutt hit an RBI single to right, scoring a run from second base.
The Panthers, who were down 5-4 last night in the bottom of the seventh before ultimately winning 6-5 on a walk-off homer, could not score a run as three strikeouts ended the game.
Seamans went 1-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored while Compson finished 1-for-3 with two runs and a walk.
GAME TWO
The Seminoles scored two runs in the opening inning and held the Panthers in for the game. Florida State scored three runs in the second, two in the third, six in the fourth and one in the fifth and won 14-0.
Pitt totaled three hits for the game, as Seamans went 1-for-1 with a double and walk.
Due to rain in the forecast, tomorrow's series finale will be played at 10 a.m.
NEWS & NOTES
- The Panthers dropped game one, 5-4, and fell 14-0 in five innings in game two to the No. 6/9 Seminoles.
- Junior Sarah Seamans hit her 13th home run of the season. She is currently third in the ACC in homers.
- Pitt honored Team Impact sister Rylee DiTullio prior to game one today. DiTullio, who suffers from cerebral palsy, was drafted by the Panthers in Jan. 2019 and has been on the team since, joining the team for practices, dinners, meetings and has been a teammate for Pitt the past three seasons. DiTullio graduates from her program this spring.
- After the second game, the Panthers recognized seven seniors in Walker Barbee, Morgan Batesole, Brie Horrell, Brittany Knight, Hunter Levesque, LoLo Sanchez and Chandler Walter.
