Sophomore Becky Voaklander kept the Crimson within striking distance down the stretch with five shutout innings in relief of Watkins, surrendering only a single hit in the process. Watkins moved to 3-4 with the loss.
Freshman starter Amanda Watkins rebounded from a rocky start, escaping a tough second inning to close the door on the Bears and earn a complete-game victory in the second game of the twinbill.
Watkins ran into trouble in the second, giving up a leadoff double and a pair of singles as Brown scored the game’s first run, but Watkins was able to induce Bears outfielder Rachel Fleitell to ground into a fielder’s choice to end the threat...
Having put out the fire in the second with only one run crossing the plate, Watkins settled down and kept the Brown offense at bay for the rest of the afternoon.
“It was a big turnaround,” Watkins said. “The game kind of started off on a weaker note, and then I felt like I got stronger as the game went on, instead of letting myself get down.”
