It was Olivia DiNardo’s night. In the absence of fifth-year senior Izzy Pacho, the freshman catcher got two starts behind the plate and launched two home runs in back-to-back wins over Georgetown and San Diego. The Wildcats defeated the Hoyas 15-7 in six innings then returned to the field to nab a 6-0 win over the Toreros.
DiNardo wasn’t the only rookie with a good offensive showing. Freshman utility player Logan Cole got the first hit of her career in the second game, hitting a single up the middle after fouling three pitches off.
