No. 16 Softball Takes Two from Utica

Engineers Lean on Pitching, Timely Offense on Wednesday

TROY, N.Y. - The No. 16 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) softball team scored six runs apiece in two games against the Utica University Pioneers on Tuesday, as the pitching held Utica to just two total runs two wins by final scores of 6-2 and 6-0 at Doris Robison Field. With the wins, RPI improves to 22-1-1 on the season.

Game 1
Two runs apiece in the third, fourth, and fifth innings aided the Engineers while freshman Ava Markert held down Utica for six innings to collect her second win of the season.

RPI broke through in the third inning, as a throw from right field into third base off a single from Callista Adorno got away, allowing the base runner Evann McDowell to score and move Adorno to second as the Engineers took a 1-0 lead. Adorno then scored on an RBI single from Alex Ledger to make the score 2-0.

A trio of sacrifice flies and a stolen base accrued the rest of the runs for the Engineers over the next two innings, while Markert continued to roll. The freshman scattered four hits and allowed just two runs in the top of the sixth inning while striking out five. Alexis Cooke took the assignment in the seventh, shutting down the Pioneers to preserve the win.

Game 2
Brooke Sroczinski allowed just two hits over six innings of play while striking out nine, holding Utica off the board while Cooke once again held down the fort for the shutout in the seventh.

Things stayed scoreless until the bottom of the fourth, as Cattherine Worthington singled in pinch-runner Megan Wampner from second to open the scoring of a four-run inning for RPI. Erin Askins delivered the big blow, scoring two runs to cap the inning with an RBI single to center to make things 4-0.

The Engineers tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the sixth, with McDowell and Adorno in the middle of it again as both collected singles - with Adorno driving in McDowell to book end the inning and make the score 6-0 before Cooke finished off Utica in the top of the seventh for the win.

RPI returns to action this Friday, April 19 as the Engineers play host to RIT in a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m.
