SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Junior Madison Bonham hit not one but two home runs in the fourth inning of game one and drove in seven runs on the day as the Skidmore College softball team picked up a pair of lopsided run-rule wins over SUNY Delhi. Skidmore won game one 18-1, before claiming the nightcap 12-1. Both games were five innings.

• Bonham is believed to be the first player in program history to homer twice in the same inning.
• The 30 runs are the most the program has scored in a day since it plated 38 in a sweep of NYC College of Technology on April 10, 2010.

 
Skidmore 18, Delhi 1 (5 inn.)

• Each of Skidmore's three runs in the first were unearned.
• Delhi scored in the second to close the gap to two before the Thoroughbreds plated seven runs in the second and eight more in the fourth.
• Bonham hit a solo homer to lead off the fourth. She went deep again in her second at bat of the inning with two runners on. Bonham drove in five runs on the game and had three extra-base hits.
• Claire Sone went 3-for-3 with a triple, two runs scored, two RBI, and two steals.
• Jessica Nachamie was 2-for-3 with three runs scored, a double, two RBI, and a walk.
• Elle Harrison and Rachel Monser both had two hits and two runs. Harrison had one double, while Monser hit two.
• The Thoroughbreds had nine extra-base hits.
• Natalie Mayne allowed just two hits and a run in five innings in the circle for her second win. She walked and struck out one.

 
Skidmore 12, Delhi 1 (5 inn.)

• Skidmore kept its foot on the gas pedal with five runs in the bottom of the first inning followed by three each in the second and third and one in the fourth. The Thoroughbreds averaged nearly four runs per inning on the day.
• Mayne and Mallory Allen were both 3-for-3. Mayne doubled three times, scored three runs, and drove in two. Allen hit the first home run of her career and finished with three RBI and scored two runs.
• Bonham knocked in two more runs and added a pair of singles.
• Allen also went the distance in the circle for the Thoroughbreds. She allowed just three hits and a run with a walk and six strikeouts.
• Skidmore's big first inning was highlighted by an Allen two-run single up the middle.
• A couple of Bronco errors in the second led to another three-spot.
• Harrison and Mayne had run-scoring hits in the third before Bonham collected the last of her seven RBI on the afternoon with a sacrifice fly.
• Allen hit a two-strike pitch out in the fourth to make it 12-0.
• Delhi scored its lone run on a solo home run from Hannah Caughey to lead off the fifth.
