Valentine (2-1) pitched a complete-game two-hitter with four strikeouts in the opener, and Eastern (9-9, 3-1 Little East) collected ten hits off Keene State (7-7, 2-2 Little East) sophomore ace Maria Crisp, knocking her out of the game during a three-run fourth inning that ballooned its lead to 8-0.

In the second game, Komornik (2-2) gave up only one hit in 3 2/3 shutout relief innings of junior starter Erin Miller. Komornik took over in the fourth after freshman leftfielder Aliza Guerrero belted a three-run home run that cut Eastern's lead to 7-4. Komornik got consecutive ground balls to subdue the threat, retiring eight straight before Guerrero reached on an infield single leading off the seventh.

 
In the sweep, Eastern recorded 28 hits against three Keene pitchers to raise its season batting average to .322. Junior Sam Rossetti and first-year sophomore Samantha Rentz were each 6-for-8 on the day and combined for 15 total bases. Rossetti, who improved her team-leading batting average to .455, drove in five runs and scored three and Rentz scored five times and had an RBI. Senior centerfielder Mattie Brett had four hits – including an RBI double in the second game that hit the top of the fence that sparked a four-run fourth inning . She plated two runs and scored three.

 
Crisp (4-3), who entered the day with a 0.63 ERA and 63 strikeouts (against one walk) in 44 2/3 innings, gave up single runs in the first and second innings – Eastern junior rightfielder Shannon Martin homering to lead off the second – and three more in the third on five hits. She was lifted while the Warriors  were scoring three more times in the fourth.

 
Valentine allowed just two hits – a leadoff double by Elissa Coburn in the third and a leadoff infield single to Heather Pelletier leading off the fourth. An infield error in the fourth accounted for Keene's only run of the game.

 
Eastern scored three times in the first inning of the nightcap off freshman  starter Ashlee McGan and added four more in the fourth (picking up five hits in each of those innings) before Guerrero poked her team's first home run of the season over the right field fence in the fourth.  Rossetti and senior second baseman Jen Tamindzija drove in runs for Eastern in the first. Freshman pinch hitter Samantha Bardos, Rrentz and Brett all had RBI doubles in the fourth and Rossetti's flare into left field plated the final run.

 
Guerrero had two of Keene's six hits on the day but was the only player with more than one. She was credited with three of the team's four RBI.

 
Eastern visits Babson College Tuesday in a 3 p.m. non-conference doubleheader.  Keene State will host Springfield on April 8, for a doubleheader beginning at 3:30 p.m.
