Rutgers softball is off to a flying start to the 2022 season. The women have won four straight games already this weekend, all of them coming in the Pirate Clash down in Greenville, North Carolina, as the Scarlet Knights beat both Wagner (5-0) and Colgate (5-4) on Saturday.

Softball started the winning streak by topping Wagner 13-3 and East Carolina 4-3 on Friday afternoon.

Currently the Scarlet Knights stand at 6-3, with one more game remaining down in North Carolina against Colgate on Sunday morning before jetting down to Florida to open a slate of games that includes a match-up with Princeton. The 6-3 start is the best start to a season for Rutgers softball since 2008.

Gabrielle Callaway had a huge day in both games. In the first game against Wagner, she drove in three runs on sac flies. In the second game against Colgate, she had the game winning base hit that gave Rutgers a 5-4 victory.

Payton Lincavage also had a huge afternoon. She went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a pair of RBI in Rutgers 5-0 win over Wagner, and followed that up with the game tying double in the bottom of the eighth inning against Colgate, that preceded the winner by Callaway.
