St. John's split its home and home series with Stony Brook falling 8-0 in six innings at University Field after picking up a 1-0 win at Red Storm Field last week. NFCA Second-Team All-Region Pick Dawn Bodrug tossed a 15-strikeout no-hitter for the Seawolves, her second no-no in her last three starts.
The Red Storm clinched its first BIG EAST series of the season after taking two of three against Creighton over the weekend. St. John's dropped a 7-1 decision on Friday before sweeping a Saturday doubleheader. The Johnnies walked off in a 9-8 victory before taking the finale, 3-1. In Friday's contest, Natalie Alheidt recorded her first collegiate homer to put St. John's on the board.
In the first half of Saturday's twin bill, London Jarrard went a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate, driving in three runs during her sixth multi-hit game of the season. In the second game, Jarrard went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and her ninth double of the season while Anese Thompson and Natalie Casto each recorded a hit and an RBI. Carolina Zamudio pitched 9.0 innings across Saturday's games, allowing just two earned runs and recording 11 strikeouts.
Jarrard was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll after she hit .538 (7-for-13) with four RBIs, four runs scored and a pair of doubles last week. The honor was the second of the season for the freshman.
As a team, the Johnnies are third in the conference with 1.06 stolen bases per game. Meisha Murray leads the Red Storm squad with 14 steals this season, and the senior ranks third in the league in the category.
The Bulldogs are 19-13 this season and have lost four of their last five contests.
