Box Score 2 WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The Skidmore College softball team overcame a three-run deficit in the opening game of a doubleheader against Williams College, Tuesday evening, scoring four runs in the final inning to claim a 4-3 win. The Thoroughbreds lost the night cap 7-1.
With the split, Skidmore is now 10-26 overall on the year.
In the opening game, Williams held the Thoroughbreds scoreless through the first six frames before back-to-back hits in the seventh inning seemed to spark a Skidmore rally.
Katie Peverada led off with a single and moved to third after the next batter;
Katie Sorochka smashed a double to right field. After a Williams pitching change, both runners would move up a base on a wild pitch with Peverada scoring Skidmore's first run. After a
May-Lin McEvoy walk, the Thoroughbreds had runners on first and third with no outs and the
Christine Munisteri representing the winning run at home plate.
Munisteri launched a deep shot to left center, scoring both Sorochka and McEvoy before ending up at second base with the score now tied at 3-3.
Emma Giles pinch ran for Munisteri and was sacrificed over to third base, putting the winning run 60 feet away.
Lila Rosenfeld capped the Thoroughbred comeback as she doubled down the line, scoring Giles in the process to give the Thoroughbreds a 4-3 lead, which would hold.
Sorochka moves to 9-13 on the season after going the distance, allowing only four hits and three runs (one earned). Munisteri was 1-1 with a pinch-hit double and two RBI, while Rosenfeld was 1-3 with a walk, one run scored and the game-winning RBI double.
Williams recovered in the second game, holding Skidmore to one hit; a single by
Carol Brown in the sixth inning en route to a 7-1 win.
The Thoroughbreds scored a first inning run after Brown worked a walk and advanced around the infield before scoring on a wild pitch, but the home team quickly evened the score in the bottom of the first before plating three more runs in the third and sixth innings.
Cassie Fishkin takes the loss after giving up seven runs on 11 hits in six innings of work.
Brown was 1-2 with a walk and a run scored.
Skidmore will close out its regular season at home Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. with a doubleheader against Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts.
