Softball drops two to Union

Saratoga Springs, N.Y. – Union College freshman Alexandra King (Chester Springs, Pa.) drilled two homeruns on the day as the Union College softball team cruised to two Liberty League wins, 13-1, 11-0, Saturday afternoon.  The wins put the Dutchwomen at 2-0 in league play and 19-4 overall.  The Thoroughbreds drop to 0-4 in Liberty League play and 9-18 overall.
 
Game one featured 11 hits from the Dutchwomen, including three from junior Michelle Rogers, who was 3-4 with two RBI.  Ashley Kovack (Ridgefield, Ct.) was 2-3, including two-run homerun in the second, and finished with four RBI and two runs scored.   King was 2-3 in the effort with two runs scored and two RBI.
 
Union hurler Ginni Sack (Burnt Hills, N.Y.) threw a gem on the mound for the Dutchwomen, allowing only four hits and one earned in five innings of work.
 
Skidmore senior Sarah Stehouwer (Woodstock, Vt.) had two of four Thoroughbred hits, going 2-2, while taking the loss on the mound.  Shaila DeLea (Cornish, Maine) scored the only Skidmore run in the first inning, off of a single by Lauren Dinsdale (Harrington Park, N.J.)
