East Stroudsburg, Pa. - The Adelphi University softball program returned to the win column and ended their six game skid on Saturday afternoon, defeating East Stroudburg University in game one before losing in the matinee.

Series History:

• Prior to today's doubleheader, the programs had faced off just twice.
• Adelphi was 1-1 all-time against ESU, with its most recent matchup (3/15/06) ending in a 4-1 win.

Game One: Adelphi 2, East Stroudburg 1

Highlights:

How it Happened:

• The Warriors cracked the scoring column early, as Delaney Ridgell took the second pitch she saw from Kenney over the left-field fence.
• Neither team's offense generated much after that. Outside of a double from Faith Wagner in the fifth, both pitchers settled in and combined for four straight scoreless innings.
• In the top of the sixth, the Panthers pushed across two runs. Tarjan started the inning with a single, followed by a double from Kaitlyn Klepper. Chavarria then lined a shot into center field to tie the game at one.
• Two batters later, Parente delivered the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly to left field, deep enough for Chavarria to score and give Adelphi the lead.
