PURCHASE, N.Y. – Freshman Sam Jedrey (La Canada Flintridge, Calif./La Canada) set a program record with three home runs in game two as part of a huge four-homer day to lead the Manhattanville College softball team to a 7-2 and 10-0 (5 inn.) sweep of Hunter College in non-conference action on Wednesday afternoon at Manhattanville Field.
 
Jedrey was nearly unstoppable on the day for Manhattanville (23-9), going 5-for-6 with four homers, nine runs batted in and five runs scored in the two games. Senior Alicia Marino (Mahopac, N.Y./Pleasantville) also had a big day, hitting a pair of homers and driving in five runs as well for the home team.
 
Game 1: Manhattanville 7, Hunter 2
 
Jedrey and Marino both homered to lead the Valiants in the first game of the day, as Manhattanville jumped on Hunter early on the way to a 7-2 win. Jedrey drove in four runs and sophomore Sophia Chapelone (Carlsbad, Calif./La Costa Canyon) also plated a pair for the Valiants in the victory.
 
Playing as the road team, Manhattanville scored four in the top of the second to take an early lead. Jedrey delivered a clutch two-run, two-out single off the fence in center to put the Valiants up by a pair, and Chapelone followed with a two-run single of her own to double the Valiants' lead.
 
Hunter got two runs in the bottom half on a two-run homer from Brittney Salvador, but that was the only real mistake made by junior Alycia Feeney (Brewster, N.Y./Brewster), who improved to 12-4 by allowing six hits and two runs while striking out four in seven innings. The junior has not lost in her last 13 appearances (10-0).

The Valiants put the game away with a pair of home runs, as Marino launched a solo homer in the third and Jedrey crushed a two-run shot in the fourth. Marino's long ball was the 23rd of her career, breaking a tie with Alyssa Taylor '14 and giving her sole possession of third place all-time at the school.
 
Game 2: Manhattanville 10, Hunter 0 (5 inn.)
 
Jedrey was the story in game two, as she broke the program record with three home runs in three at-bats in the 10-0 win. The freshman went 3 for 3 with five RBIs to break the previous program standard of two homers, which had been achieved 17 times, and in the process doubled her season total from three to six.
 
Marino got things started in the top of the first with a two-run homer, followed by Jedrey's first of the game, a solo shot with two outs in the third. Manhattanvile followed up with four runs in the fourth, beginning with another four-bagger from Jedrey. A two-run single from Marino and an RBI double from senior Dolores Diemicke (North Massapequa, N.Y./Plainedge) followed in the frame, which gave the Valiants a 7-0 lead.
 
Senior Brittany Deieso (Brewster, N.Y./Brewster) and sophomore Kelsey Sather (El Dorado Hills, Calif./Oak Ridge) started the fifth inning off with back-to-back singles, and that set the stage for Jedrey, who launched her record-setting third homer of the game over the fence in left-center. The three homers are tied for fifth in D-III history for a single game.
 
Sophomore Aarin Hartenstein (Massapequa, N.Y./Plainedge) picked up the win for the Valiants in the circle, allowing two hits in three innings of work to improve to 8-2 on the year. Classmate Kristyn Pareres (Bronxville, N.Y./The Ursuline School) finished off the game with two scoreless innings of relief, allowing only one hit and striking out one.
 
The Valiants, who are 18-2 in the last 20 games since coming north from Spring Break, will continue a very busy week tomorrow afternoon, when the squad hosts Western Connecticut State University for two games at Manhattanville Field beginning at 3:30 p.m.
