Offense powers Skidmore to doubleheader sweep

Thoroughbreds sweep Cazenovia, 9-5 and 8-0

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – The Skidmore College softball team tallied 17 runs in a doubleheader sweep of Cazenovia, at Wagner Park on a sunny Wednesday afternoon. Skidmore won game one by a 9-5 score, and swept the Wildcats 8-0 in game two.
 
Skidmore improves to 6-7 on the season, while Cazenovia drops to 3-3.
 
Game one saw Skidmore get its nine runs on just eight hits. Karly Fishkin got it started with a two-run homer to left field, scoring Megan White to give Skidmore a 2-0 lead in the first inning. The Thoroughbreds took advantage of Cazenovia miscues in the second and fourth innings, scoring two runs to take a 4-0 lead.
 
Skidmore was just getting started in the fourth. After the Cazenovia error scored Kaitlyn Judd at third, Katie Anderson slapped a one-out double on the next at-bat, scoring two to increase the lead to 6-0. Two batters later, Fishkin tallied her third RBI of the game with a two-out shot up the middle to score Heather Mak.  Fishkin finished game one with a 2-for-3 performance, scoring twice and adding a walk. Genesis Delgado finished the rally in the next at-bat with a no-doubter, a two-run bomb to dead center field that gave Skidmore a 9-0 lead after four.
 
Cazenovia showed grit in game one, giving Skidmore starter Hannah Davis (2-2) some trouble. The Wildcats tallied four in the fifth, and one in the sixth, as they now trailed 9-5. Davis still had a quality outing, allowing two earned runs in six innings pitched, striking out five batters for her second victory of her young career. Nicole Rosner shut the door on Cazenovia, giving up just one hit in the seventh for her first save of the year.
 
Cazenovia tallied 10 hits in game one, led by Hannah Croteau's 3-for-4 performance.
 
The Thoroughbred bats remained hot, led by a solid performance by Delgado in game two. With two on in the opening inning, Delgado launched another shot to dead center. The three-run bomb was her second of the doubleheader, giving Skidmore an immediate 3-0 lead. In the second, Delgado missed her second homer of the game by a foot, drilling the first pitched she saw into the wall at right center field. Three runs scored as the Thoroughbreds doubled their lead to 6-0.
 
Cazenovia threatened to score in the fourth inning, with runners on second and third with one out. Rosner guided the Thoroughbreds out of trouble. She forced Alexandria Clifford to pop out to Maddie Nelson at third, then she took care of business with a strikeout to Serafina French to end the inning. Skidmore then added to the lead in the bottom of the frame, getting RBI hits from Fishkin and Delaney Corbet to take an 8-0 lead.
 
Emily Popp came in on relief for Rosner in the fifth, pitching out of trouble with a strikeout to end the game, giving Skidmore the win via the mercy rule.
 
Rosner (2-2) continued her solid pitching into game two, keeping the Cazenovia batters at bay. The junior allowed just three hits in four innings, striking out three for her second victory of the year. Offensively, Fishkin was a perfect 3-for-3 with one RBI and three runs scored. Delgado went 2-for-3, driving in five runs. Corbet also tallied two hits.
 
Croteau went 2-for-3 to lead the Wildcats in game two. French (0-1) allowed seven earned in four innings for her first decision of the year.
 
Skidmore returns to action on Thursday, hosting MCLA at Wagner Park for a doubleheader, beginning at 3:30 p.m.
