The Seton Hall softball Pirates started off strong at the plate on Wednesday afternoon against rival Rutgers, but their bats faltered while the Scarlet Knights stayed hot and pulled away for a 13-7 victory.
Senior Lauren Fischer got the start for Seton Hall and she immediately found herself in trouble, giving up three runs in the top of the first.
The Pirates quickly responded with four runs in the bottom half of the inning to put them out in front behind an RBI single from Destini Peck, an RBI double from Hailey Arteaga and an RBI single from Ragen Reddick.
