Softball Survives Late Comeback, Splits with SCSU

New Haven, Conn. – Adelphi University's softball team split its doubleheader with Southern Connecticut State University on Wednesday afternoon, surviving a late comeback by the Owls in game two.

Series History:

  • Prior to today's doubleheader, the programs had faced off 59 times dating back to the 2002 season.
  • Adelphi (27-15, 23-5 NE10) stands at 44-17 all-time against the Owls (19-19, 12-16 NE10) following the late split.

Game One: Southern Connecticut 7, Adelphi 3

Highlights:

  • Emma Priest had three hits in four at-bats, including a triple and a run scored.
  • Maddy Moore went two-for-three with a run scored.
  • Ellen Tarjan recorded a hit and an RBI.

How It Happened:

  • The Owls got on the board first in the opening frame, as a leadoff walk, followed by a bunt and an error by the Panther defense, set up a sacrifice fly.
  • Adelphi responded in the second inning, taking the lead. A rally of three straight singles from Moore, Faith Wagner and Makayla Comer set up back-to-back sacrifice flies from Tori Parente and Reeghan McCarthy to score two.
  • Southern Connecticut tied the game in the fourth, using a triple and a double to plate the run.
  • The Brown and Gold answered again, as Priest started a two-out rally with a triple to center field. Tarjan then came through with an RBI single to right, giving the Panthers a one-run cushion.
  • In the bottom of the sixth, the Owls put together a five-run rally, highlighted by a three-run double from SCSU's second baseman to take control.
  • Adelphi drew a leadoff walk in the seventh, but a double play ended the comeback attempt.

Game Two: Adelphi 7, Southern Connecticut 6

Highlights:

  • Moore and Comer each had multi-hit games, while also driving in a run.
  • Lily Kenney came out of the bullpen and tossed 2.1 scoreless innings.
  • McCarthy and Jaylen Wright each recorded two RBI in the win.

How It Happened:

  • The Owls responded in the second with three runs, stringing together four singles to take the lead.
  • Adelphi regained control in the fourth, plating five runs. Moore singled and Wagner walked before Comer tied the game with an RBI base hit. Reeghan McCarthy followed with a two-run single to right-center. Priest kept the rally going with a single through the left side, and Wright capped the inning with a two-run double.
  • Southern Connecticut answered in the fifth, cutting the deficit to two by capitalizing on a walk and a pair of hits.
