    STONY BROOK, N.Y.The fourth-seeded UMBC softball team (34-21) lost to No. 3 Albany (37-15) by a score of 5-1 Friday afternoon and was eliminated from the America East Softball Championships.

     

    Sophomore second baseman Lauren Brummell (Hanover, Va./Hanover) went 2-for-3 and drove in the Retrievers’ only run of the game with a single in the third inning that gave UMBC a brief 1-0 lead. The hit was the 100th of her career.

     

    But with two outs in the bottom of the inning, third baseman Megan Butsch, the America East Player of the Year, hit a home run over the left field fence to tie the game.

     

    The score remained tied until the fifth, when the Great Danes scored three runs on a pair of RBI fielders choices by second baseman Michelle Connors and designated player Bailey Van Deest to take a 4-1 lead. Albany added another run in the sixth on doubles by Butsch and Connors.

     

    Sophomore Stephanie Weigman (Elkridge, Md./Archbishop Spalding) suffered the loss to fall to 22-16. She allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits and struck out five in five innings of work. Junior Amanda Fefel (Baltimore, Md./Catonsville) pitched the final inning and gave up a run on two hits.
