BOSTON, Mass. (March 26, 2026) – UMass Boston (7-3) bounced back from a two-game slide in impressive fashion, sweeping a non-conference doubleheader on the road at Emmanuel. Behind a Game 1 shutout from Izzy Levasseur (Amesbury, Mass.), and a season-high offensive eruption in Game 2 featuring two home runs and an 11-run inning, the Beacons seized a 3-0 win and a 13-1 run-rule victory at Clemente Field.

How It Happened:

• In the opener, Levasseur set the tone with a complete-game shutout, striking out 11 while holding Emmanuel to just two hits. After four scoreless innings, the Beacons broke through in the fifth as Ella Delisle (Amesbury, Mass.) scored on a catcher's error, Sofie Richland(Burlington, Vt.) executed a sacrifice bunt RBI, and Keira Howley (Abington, Mass.) raced home on a wild pitch. Levasseur stranded the bases loaded in the sixth and struck out two in the seventh to seal the 3-0 win. • Game 2 was an offensive showcase. Lauren Miner(Millbury, Mass.) homered in the first, and in the fifth, the Beacons exploded for 11 runs on nine hits. Hayley Krockta (Taunton, Mass.) smashed a grand slam, while Miner added a three-run double. Izzy Levasseur, Richland, Mya Perron (Beverly, Mass.), and Amaya Rodriguez (Indio, Calif.) each chipped in RBI singles. Lexus McIntosh (Lancaster, N.H.) tossed a five-inning complete game, allowing three hits in the 13-1 run-rule rout.

By the Numbers:

• Izzy Levasseur fired a two-hit, 11-strikeout shutout in Game 1 for her first of the season. • The Beacons scored a season-high 13 runs with two home runs in Game 2, marking their first multi-homer game this year. • UMass Boston's 11-run, nine-hit fifth inning in Game 2 is the program's largest single-inning outburst of 2026. • Lauren Miner went 3-for-4 with a homer, double, four RBIs and three runs scored in Game 2. • Hayley Krockta finished with five RBIs on a grand slam and a sacrifice fly. • UMass Boston stole three bases in each game and went a perfect 6-for-6 swiping bags on the day.
