ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Skidmore College softball team gave nationally 18^th-ranked Rochester a run for its money on Sunday afternoon in a Liberty League doubleheader. The host Yellowjackets squeaked out a 3-1 win in the first of two before coming from behind for the second time on Sunday to win 9-1 in the nightcap.
 

• Skidmore finishes the year at 10-23 overall. The Thoroughbreds were 3-11 in the Liberty League.
• Rochester is 32-6 and 13-1. The Yellowjackets tied for first in the league, but RPI will host next week's championship tournament as the winner of the tiebreaker.
• Skidmore scored the first run in both games.
• Outside of the shortened 2020 season, Skidmore has won at least 10 games in every season since 2004.

 
GAME 1 – Rochester 3, Skidmore 1

• Rochester used one run in the third and two in the fourth to come back from a 1-0 deficit and win for the 28^th time in its previous 29 contests.
• Rochester stole eight bases, including four in the bottom of the fourth, to ignite the rally.
• Skidmore struck first in the top of the second inning with two outs when Meghan Robertson singled through the middle to score Franny Casillas, who singled to start the two-out rally. The Thoroughbreds then stranded a pair of runners in scoring position.
• Molly Mason singled for the Yellowjackets to lead off the third. She stole second and third before scoring on an Ally Kim two-out single to tie it at one.
• The Thoroughbreds brought the tying run to the plate in the seventh, but Lauren Keys got the last out for Skidmore for her first save.
• Lindsey Raimondi went the distance for Skidmore. She allowed three runs on four hits with four walks and four strikeouts.

 
GAME 2 – Rochester 9, Skidmore 1 (5 inn.)

• For the second game in a row, Skidmore scored first on the perennial Liberty League power. After three complete innings of scoreless ball, Chloe McGonagle singled and the bases were soon loaded when Grace O'Connell laid down a bunt single and Erin Gibbons was hit by a pitch. Claire Stone singled through the left side to bring in a run and keep the bases loaded with one out. Keys came in to pitch for UofR and got two outs to get out of it.
• Rochester scored all nine of its runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to walk it off via the eight-run rule.
• Robertson wiggled through the first four innings in the circle unscathed despite heavy traffic on the base paths in the first two frames. She found her groove and retired eight in a row until a single with one out in the fifth unleashed the Yellowjacket rally.
• Rochester scored its nine runs on five hits with the help of four errors and three walks in the fifth to close it out.
