Softball Splits Doubleheader With Alfred

GENESEO, N.Y. - The SUNY Geneseo softball team hosted Alfred in an Empire 8 doubleheader on Monday afternoon, and earned a split after a 6-3 victory in game two. The Knights move to 13-5 on the season and 5-1 in conference action, while the Saxons hold a 13-5 overall record as well, and 4-2 in Empire 8 play.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Geneseo opened the doubleheader with a bang, scoring four runs in the bottom of the first inning. Molly Griffin got the Knights on the board first with an RBI single, then Lauren Bieniek, Tara Brochu, and Gabriella Smith all added RBIs to cap off the big first inning.
  • With the Knights pitching and defense holding strong, they added a fifth run in the bottom of the third inning. However, the Saxons finally broke through in the fifth inning and cut the lead down to 5-4.
  • Alfred went on to add four more runs in the top of the seventh for an 8-5 lead, but the Knights weren't going away easily and mounted a seventh inning rally of their own. Brochu and Smith both came up with RBI doubles in the bottom of the 7th, but Geneseo couldn't get the final hit they needed to tie the game and fell 8-7.
  • The Knights started off hot once again in game two, this time with Ray Schumacher leading the way by hitting a three run home run in the first inning.
  • The Saxons got one run back in the third inning, but Griffin came up clutch with a two RBI double in the bottom half of the inning. Alfred cut into the lead one final time with a two run home run in the fifth, but Geneseo kept them off the scoreboard for the remainder of the game and earned a 6-3 victory.
QUICK FACTS:
  • Brochu and Smith highlighted the offensive end of game one, both going 2-4 with two RBIs.
  • Schumacher and Griffin each tallied multiple hits in game two, with three and two RBIs, respectively. Schumacher recorded her third homer of the season, while Griffin has a team-best 15 RBIs.
  • Gabriella Petroski earned her fifth win of the season pitching for the Knights, only allowing five hits and two earned runs in the second game.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Geneseo will travel to RIT on Wednesday, April 9 at 3 p.m.
