Game One

LeMoyne and Adelphi were scoreless through the first two and a half innings, combining for five hits, but no runs. However, the Dolphins broke the 0-0 tie, with four runs in the bottom of the third, scoring the first two runs on a home run down the right field line and the final two runs on a double left center, 4-0.

The Dolphins tacked on a single run in the bottom of the fourth and three more in the bottom of the sixth to end the game early, 8-0. The Panthers put runners on second in the fifth and the sixth, but stranded Amy Ogden in the fifth and Emilyi Dorko in the sixth.

Devon Kelly was saddled with the loss, falling to 9-5 overall, after pitching 2.2 innings striking out two and giving up four runs. Natalie Camarda tossed 2.2 innings innings of relief and also gave up four runs and struck out two.

Victoria Wink and Meghan Heiser were each 1-2 from the plate, while Dorko and Amanda Krier were each 1-3, accounting for all of Adelphi's four hits in the loss.

Game Two

A pitchers dual broke out in the early going of game two, as Laurin Watts kept LeMoyne off the board for three innings and the Dolphins kept Adelphi scoreless. The Panthers left five runners on base in the first three innings combined and then loaded the bases in the fourth, but a Jaclyn Binstock foul ball to the catcher, ended the threat and left Heather Salerno, Elizabeth Lindner and Dorko stranded.

LeMoyne managed one run on two hits in the fourth and scored two more in the sixth on a home run to center, to take a 3-0 lead, which would be the final score. A Binstock one out double to center gave the Panthers a base runner in the seventh and final inning, but the Brown and Gold could not get a run across home plate.

Watts was credited with the loss, but threw six innings, giving up just three runs and striking out six in another strong outing. Wink continued to swing a hot bat, going 2-3, while Dorko, Binstock, Krier and Lindner picked up one hit each.

Adelphi returns to action on Friday, April 6 when they travel to North Andover, Massachusetts for a 3:00 pm meeting with Merrimack.
