WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Jordynn Bazinet allowed just one earned run in the circle and drove in a pair at the plate on Monday to lead the Pittsfield softball team to an 11-2 win over Mount Greylock.
 
Bazinet went 2-for-2 with a double as the Generals evened their record to 2-2 on the young season.
 
She also struck out seven and walked just one while allowing three hits in a complete game win that spoiled the Mounties’ first action on their newly refurbished varsity field.
 
“Jordynn was spot on,” Pittsfield coach Jim Clary said. “She was hitting her spots, left and right. You could see the electricity she had before the game.
 
“She actually had a cut on her pitching finger last week, a little accident at home. It did affect her the last two games – it didn’t help at least. But it’s all healed now, and she was spot on today.”
 
Bazinet did not give up a hit until Kami Sweet’s leadoff single to left to start the fifth inning.
 
By that time, the Generals had a 5-0 lead that Sweet eventually cut into by coming around to score on a groundout.
 
Mount Greylock’s other run came in the seventh with the score 11-1. It was Sweet again, this time reaching on a leadoff error and coming home on Malia Koffi’s RBI double.
 
Bazinet doubled to drive in a run in the top of the first for Pittsfield.
 
She drove in Navaeh Lopez, who reached on a walk.
 
Sweet (six strikeouts) was able to limit the damage in the first by recording a strikeout looking with the bases loaded.
 
But Pittsfield tacked on a pair of runs in the third and two more in the fifth before the floodgates opened in a five-run seventh.
 
Ava Brazeau had a key two-run single in the third to give the Generals a 3-0 lead. In the fifth, Brazeau drove in another run, and Sophia Santos had a sac fly.
 
The big hits in Pittsfield’s big seventh-inning rally were two-run singles from Lopez and Mia Arpante.
 
Mount Greylock (0-2) gets another tough test on Tuesday when it is scheduled to host Turners Falls.
 
Pittsfield hosts Hampshire Regional on Wednesday.
 
“Hopefully, it’s starting to take form,” Clary said of his squad. “Our defense is coming around. It’s getting much better after the last few games. We’re definitely going to be in contention this year, I believe.”
