Softball Streak Snapped, Splits With Williams

Engineers Take Second Game With Ephs

TROY, N.Y. – The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) softball team had their season-long win streak snapped at 14 in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday afternoon by an 11-1 final score, but soon picked up where they left off with a one-sided 12-0 victory in game two against Williams. RPI improve their record to 26-6 overall, while Williams moves to 14-14 overall this season.
 
Game 1
Sadie Leonard kept the RPI offense on the ropes throughout the first game, as she pitched seven innings while striking out 14 Engineers. Leonard gave up only four hits with one unearned run.
 
Williams drew the first run of the game in the top of the second inning, ending Alexis Cooke's scoreless inning streak. Sydney Miller knocked a blooping single into center field with a runner on third, scoring Sydney Fleming for a 1-0 lead.
 
The Ephs then added four runs to their total in the top of the fourth inning. A home run from Fleming got the ball rolling for Williams, a two-run shot over the left center field fence for a 3-0 lead. Then an RBI double from Roni Ramos and RBI single from Kaia Glickman added a run apiece to push the lead to 5-0.
 
Williams extended their lead to 8-0 with runs in the fifth and sixth innings as well, with Fleming's RBI double in the fifth the highlight of the scoring.
 
With the game set to close in the bottom of the sixth, the Engineers pushed a run across thanks to an error with two outs to make it 8-1. However, Williams added runs in the top of the seventh before closing the door on the Engineers in the bottom of the inning.
 
Game 2
RPI wasted no time turning on the offense, scoring six runs in the bottom of the first inning. Four total RBI singles came through, with Erin Askins capping the inning with an RBI single in her second at-bat of the inning.
 
Leading 6-0, RPI added on to that lead in the second inning thanks to an Alex Ledger double that scored Callista Adorno. Ledger then scored herself on a wild pitch to make it 8-0 Engineers.
 
RPI delivered four more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, as a pair of RBI doubles by Evann McDowell and Erin Askins sandwiched round an RBI single from Sydney Speanburg to take a 12-0 lead.
 
Erika Holowka held down the fort in the circle over the five shutout innings, surrendering just four hits and striking out five. She also earned her team-high 11th win of the season, improving her record to 11-1.
 
The Engineers return to action on Saturday, April 29 at 1 p.m. when they hit the road to take on league frontrunner, the University of Rochester.
