...Hofstra (40-13, 17-3 Colonial) enters the weekend riding a 15-game win streak that dates back to April 6. The teams are similar in two other key ways: each has a big arm and big bat. For the Crimson they are junior hurler Shelly Madick and freshman slugger Lauren Murphy. Madick posted a 16-4 record this year, struck out 139 batters in 135 innings of work, and has an ERA of 1.45.

But the freshman worked his way out of trouble, getting Allen to ground into a 4-6-3 double play and striking out slugger Ryan Cunningham looking.“[Vance’s home run] gave me a little confidence to go right after hitters,” Zailskas said. “I started off a little rough, but I got a ground ball and we’re pretty solid...
