Garden City, N.Y. – Adelphi University's softball program registered two wins against American International College on Saturday afternoon, powered by late-game heroics from the Panthers' offense.

Makayla Comer and Emily Wolfe each delivered walk-off hits to keep the 33-game win streak against the Yellow Jackets alive.

• The Yellow Jackets threatened in the fifth, as Morgan Bemont reached following a defensive mishap, but Kenney escaped the jam with a strikeout and a popup.
