Galloway, N.J. (4/29/25) – The Kean University softball team suffered a 6-1 loss to #4 Stockton University in the first round of the New Jersey Athletic Conference tournament on Tuesday.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Both teams were held scoreless through the first two innings, but with two outs in the third, the Ospreys connected on back-to-back doubles to push across the game's first run. A pinch-hit single and Kean miscue added another for a 2-0 deficit.

Stockton added to their lead in the fifth with a three-spot.  The Ospreys loaded the bases with no outs on two singles and a walk and pushed across a single run after being hit-by-a-pitch.  One batter later, a two RBI single pushed the advantage out to five.

Kean scratched across a run in the sixth with some small ball.  Andee Perseponko worked a leadoff walk and moved to third on a sacrifice.  Maya Thompson followed with an RBI single.

The Ospreys added insurance in the sixth with an unearned run.

Kean will play at home on Saturday evening in an elimination game at 5 p.m.
