Vermont State Castleton Sweeps UMass Boston in Softball Doubleheader

On April 21, 2026, the Vermont State University Castleton softball team secured a sweep of the UMass Boston Beacons in Little East Conference action, winning both games of the doubleheader.

In the first game, Castleton prevailed with a 7-1 victory. Alex Brouillette earned the win as the starting pitcher, delivering a strong performance on the mound. The offense was fueled by timely hitting, including a two-run double that helped establish an early lead.

The second game was decided in dramatic fashion, with Julia Walsh delivering a walk-off single to seal the sweep. Her hit came in the bottom of the final inning, driving in the winning run and sparking celebration among the Castleton players and fans in attendance.

The sweep improved Castleton’s standing in the Little East Conference and highlighted the team’s resilience and depth, particularly in pitching and clutch hitting. UMass Boston struggled to generate consistent offense throughout the doubleheader, managing only a single run across both games.

Both teams displayed competitive effort, but Castleton’s ability to perform in key moments proved decisive. The victories marked an crucial milestone in the Knights’ 2026 season as they continue conference play.
