University of Rochester freshman pitcher Elizabeth Bourne picked up her second straight complete-game victory with an 8-1 win over St. Lawrence. She settled down after a shaky first inning, giving up only two hits and three walks in the last six innings. With the score tied at 1-1 in the top of the fourth, she gave up a one-out triple, then shut down the Saints by getting a soft lineout and striking out the next hitter. SLU got only one more runner into scoring position the rest of the way (on second with two down in the seventh) and she inducted the final hitter to ground out. She was 1-for-2 with an RBI at the plate.
