MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Sophomore right-hander Dahlia Fink (Sherman Oaks, Calif./Notre Dame HS) pitched a three-hit five-inning shutout in the opener and sophomore left fielder Jordan Krause (San Pedro, Calif./San Pedro HS) scored twice in each game as Bentley University swept Mercy College, 9-0 and 8-4, in non-conference softball Saturday at the North Myrtle Beach Sports Complex.

Supporting Fink's pitching in game one was a nine-hit attack that scored multiple runs in each of the four innings that Bentley stepped to the plate. The Falcons scored twice in the first and second, three times in the third and two more in the fourth.

Junior right fielder Kylee Amato (Bergenfield, N.J./Acad. of the Holy Angels) and senior third baseman Jess Trahan (Merrimack, N.H./Merrimack HS) each drove in three runs with Amato having three hits and Trahan two.

Amato had an RBI double in the first, a two-run single to center in the second and an infield single in the third. Trahan walked and scored in the second, singled in two runs in the third and lined an RBI single to right in the fourth.

Fink, who needed only 52 pitches in her five innings of work, struck out three and did not issue a walk. The win was her second in as many days on the trip.

In game two, Bentley scored in five of the first six innings with Krause frequently involved as she was 3-for-5 with two RBI, two runs scored, a double and triple. She singled and scored in the first, had a two-run triple in the second and she doubled and scored in the sixth.

Bentley totaled 15 hits against the Mavericks with senior first baseman Kaylee Mankins (North Attleboro, Mass./Bishop Feehan HS), Fink, senior second baseman Katherine Noftall (Ipswich, Mass./Ipswich HS) and junior shortstop Sabrina Grizzaffi (Ridgefield, Conn./Ridgefield HS) each having two.

Senior catcher Ella Hillier (Tualatin, Ore./Tualatin HS) had an RBI in each game, giving her nine in the season's first four games.

Sophomore Taylor O'Brien (East Greenbush, N.Y./Columbia HS) pitched the first four innings and earned her first career victory. She struck out seven before giving way to junior Payton Doiron (Beacon Falls, Conn./St. Joseph HS). She picked up the save and fanned five in three innings.

Bentley, which has scored 37 runs while winning three of four games so far this weekend, will wrap up its trip on Sunday with a 9:30 doubleheader against Bloomfield College.
