Yale would score its only run in the seventhwhen junior Ginger Dunn led off with a triple andlater scored on sophomore Monica Lebron'sgroundout to second. But Thoke then struck outAlice Liu to end the game.
"We should have hit more," Abeles said. "Ithink we were a little nervous, but once we gotmore relaxed hits started to come."
Thoke received plenty of defensive help,highlighted by a pair of gems in the fourthinning. Yale junior Kathy Ching led off the fourthby stinging a Thoke offering down the first-baseline. Godfree made a backhand stab at the ball,scooping it up nicely, and stepped on the bag forthe first out.
One out later, sophomore Kristen Maturo roped aball toward the line in right that looked like itwould surely fall in for a hit. But Koppel camecharging in and made a gorgeous tumblingshoestring catch to rob Maturo and end the inning.
