The University of Toronto Varsity Blues softball team continued their OUS regular season schedule winning three of four games played across the weekend.

Traveling to Kingston, U of T earned a tightly contested 3-2 victory before dropping a 6-3 decision in a road doubleheader versus the Queen's Gael's on Saturday (Sept. 19). A pitcher duel in Game 1, Vanessa Jeffrey earned the win for Toronto going all seven innings with four strikeouts and just four hits and one earned run conceded. Difference makers at the plate included Alexa Aquanno and Jorja Sandilands who each registered a triple, while Tala Rennie was the only batter between both teams to record multiple hits going 2-for-3. Shifting to Game 2, U of T suffered from a slow start which allowed the home team to score five runs through the first three innings. The deficit proved just too much to overcome. Aquanno added another tripl to her day going 2-for-4 with two RBI. She also worked the pitching circle alongside Olivia Mather who appeared in relief.

Back in Toronto on Sunday (Sept. 20), the Blues bounced back with a 10-2 and 6-5 doubleheader victory over the TMU Bold. Six different Blues recorded multiple hits in the dominant Game 1 win. Zoe Goldberg was exceptional at the plate going 2-for-3 with a double and a triple to score two RBI and two runs. Starting in the pitching circle for the second straight day, Jeffrey earned her second win of the weekend going all five innings with three strikeouts. In a much closer Game 2, Julia Poligone delivered a walk-off sacrifice fly to score the game-winning run for the Blues in the bottom of the seventh. Aquanno added yet another triple going 3-for-4 with one run, while Sandilands also chipped in with a 2-for-4, one RBI, one run outing. Aquanno and Mathers once again combined from the pitching circle with the latter earning the win.

A six-game home swing now begins for the Blues at Hendon Park. They will first challenge the York Lions in a doubleheader on Saturday, Sept. 26 before welcoming the Gaels on Sunday, Sept. 27.
