Softball Wins 10th Straight, Picks Up Sweep Over SCSU

Garden City, N.Y. - The Adelphi University softball team ran its winning streak to 10 straight games on Tuesday afternoon, sweeping the Southern Connecticut State Owls on Janet L. Ficke Field.

The Panthers (24-11-1, 14-4 NE10) took a 2-1 victory in the opener before rallying for a 5-4 win in game two to sweep the Owls (5-20, 2-11 NE10) in the season series. Elisabeth Berard was involved which much of Adelphi's scoring in game one, scoring a run, while Danielle Cutuli drove her in, while Brenna Martini, Nicole Camera, and Christina Rizzi combined for five RBIs in game two. 

Game 1
Adelphi put up all the runs they needed in the second inning when they plated two runs on three hits and one error. Stephanie Staiano put herself in scoring position with a leadoff triple. and was later plated when Berard reached on a throwing error. Cutuli drove in the second run of the inning as a single up the middle scored Berard. Defense dominated the game as the Owls were held scoreless through the first five innings, but Southern Connecticut squeezed out one run at the top of the sixth to cut the home team's lead in half, but couldn't produce anything more as the Panthers went home with the 2-1 victory.

Lindsay Mapes went the distance in the circle for the Brown and Gold, allowing six hits and one run while fanning four. Her record improves this season to 11-5.

Game 2
The Owls pushed three runs across in the top half of the first, capitalizing on three Panther errors and recording three hits of their own. Adelphi responded in the bottom half with two runs, when a Martini double to left field plated both Krista King and Nicoletta Cuccio. After the Brown and Gold evened the score in the bottom of the third, SCSU scored one in the fourth to regain the lead.

Cuccio tripled down the left line in the bottom of the fifth, putting her 60 feet from tying the score, and managed to do just that when Camera singled to left field. Christina Rizzi picked up the game-winning RBI when her ground out to third allowed Martini to cross home, after she reached on a walk. 

Kristin Fealy, Jessica Vadala, and Camera shared collective efforts on the mound in the nightcap. NE10 Pitcher of the Week Vadala came in for three innings of scoreless relief to improve her overall record to 8-1, while Camera earned her third save of the season. 

The softball team returns to action on Friday, April 14 when they travel to Saint Rose for an Northeast 10 doubleheader starting at noon.
