Thoroughbreds erupt for 11 runs to earn split with Castleton

CASTLETON, Vt.—The Skidmore College softball team split on the road against Castleton University, losing the first game 2-1 and winning the second 11-3.
 
The Thoroughbreds are 7-11 and the Spartans are 5-5..

Dani DeGregory led the way for Skidmore, going 4-for-8 on the day with a triple, a run, two RBI and two stolen bases. Casey Attonito was 4-for-5 in the doubleheader, tallying a double in the first game of the day. May-Lin McEvoy was 3-3 with four RBI and two triples in the second game. Amanda Carilli went the distance in both games for the Thoroughbreds, moving her record to 5-6 on the year.

The first game was scoreless through the first four innings of play, but Skidmore struck first, pushing a run across in the top of the fourth. The Thoroughbreds took a 1-0 lead on a run-scoring double by Lauren Fortunato, who scored Karly Fishkin. The Spartans threatened to tie the game in the bottom of the inning, putting runners at the corners with just one out, but Carilli worked out of the jam to keep Castleton scoreless.

Castleton scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth for the 2-1 lead that held up.

The Spartans took a 2-0 lead in the second game.  After a 50-minute rain delay, Skidmore started the third with a pair singles, then DeGregory ripped a two-run triple to the fence in center field, scoring both runners and tying the game at 2-2. The Spartans answered in their half of the inning for a 3-2 lead.

The lead was short-lived, however, as Skidmore put up seven runs in the top of the fourth inning, highlighted by a three-run triple by  McEvoy. The big inning for the Thoroughbreds gave them a 9-3 lead heading into the bottom of the fourth inning.
After Castleton stranded a pair of runners in the bottom of the fourth, Skidmore would get the bats going once again, as McEvoy ripped her second RBI triple of the game before scoring on a passed ball to make it 11-3 in favor of the visitors, ending the game in accordance with the eight-run rule after the Spartans failed to answer in the bottom of the fifth.

Skidmore will host Williams College on April 6 at 4 p.m.
