Miami, FL (March 11, 2005)- Manhattan took advantage of two Quinnipiac errors and Jill Medea threw a three-hit shutout as the Lady Jaspers downed the Bobcats, 3-0, in the second game of the Blue and Gold Coca-Cola Classic on the Florida International University campus.
Manhattan scored all three runs in the bottom of the fourth. With one out, Jennifer McCracken reached on an error by the center fielder, ending up on second on the dropped fly ball. After a groundout, Michelle Gutirrez singled to center, moving McCracken to third. Kiera Fox then drove the ball to right, and McCracken and Margaret LaFex, pinch running for Gutierrez, scored when the right fielder dropped the ball. Erika Kostik followed with an RBI double, scoring Fox.
Medea went the distance for her second win on the year, allowing just three hits while striking out eight.
Manhattan returns to action tomorrow, when the Lady Jaspers take on Florida Atlantic at 2:00 p.m.
