Softball opens 2019 season with split at Gene Cusic Collegiate Classic

FORT MYERS, FL – The RIT softball team (1-1) opened up the 2019 season by splitting a pair of games at the Gene Cusic Collegiate Classic on Saturday. RIT defeated Western Connecticut State (1-1), 2-0 before falling to Lesley University (1-1), 11-7.
 
Versus Western Connecticut State, junior pitcher Torie Adler (West Chester, PA/B. Reed Henderson) started the season on a strong note, allowing just one hit, while striking out three batters over five innings. Freshman Abcde Cortinas (San Antonio, TX/Highlands) made her collegiate debut by retiring all six batters she faced for the save.
 
RIT would open the scoring in the bottom of the second inning, as Jennifer Vickery (Gloversville, NY/Gloversville) slammed her first collegiate hit, doubling in classmate Brianna Bilich (Penryn, CA/Del Oro), who was hit by a pitch in her first collegiate plate appearance. RIT would add to the lead with an unearned run in the third inning.
 
Olivia Doret (Fairfax, VA/Chantilly) had two hits, while Danielle Hotz (Drexel Hill, PA/Upper Darby), Erin Guinan (Geneva, NY/Geneva), Raquel Estrada (Middletown, NY/Middletown), Laura Weintraub (Syosset, NY/Syosset) and Madisen Baldwin (Washougal, WA/Washougal) had one each.
 
In the second game of the day versus Lesley, the Tigers fell behind 9-0 before trying to mount a rally. RIT scored four times in the bottom of the fourth inning and three more runs in the bottom of the sixth.
 
Hotz went 3-for-5 with a run scored and RBI, while Estrada drove in a pair of runs and walked twice. Samm Carroll (Woodbridge, NJ/Woodbridge) walked twice and scored two runs, while Julia Vaillancourt (Braintree, MA/Braintree) and Weintraub were both 2-for-4 with a run scored. Sara Pasternack (Alden, NY/Alden) had her first collegiate hit and RBI, while classmate Hannah Trumble (Pittsford, NY/Pittsford Mendon) scored her first run. Jill Vorreiter (Fisherville, KY/Mercy Academy of Louisville) and Haley Czerwinski (East Amherst, NY/Clarence) also made their collegiate debuts versus Lesley.
