The Bears move on to play Brandeis on Sunday, May 16, at noon, in the loser bracket final. The Vikings end their historic run and finish their season with a school-best 35-10-1 record.

The Bears added two more in the second, with singles from Jamie Kim (Irvine, CA), Frederick, and Holli Bastinck (Wayne, NJ), and two more in the fourth for a 7-0 advantage.


The Bears' hurler, Hayley Feindel (River Ridge, LA), was over-powering on the mound, allowing just one hit and no runs through four frames. But Salem State got on the board in the fifth, when Michelle Grifoni (Peabody, MA) led off with a single and eventually scored on a fielder's choice to trim the lead to 7-1.
