Game Recap: Softball |

Softball splits Liberty League opener vs. Rochester; wins, 1-0 (8 inn.), falls, 14-0 (5 inn.)

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The RIT Softball team opened Liberty League play with a doubleheader split with visiting Rochester, taking the opener, 1-0, in eight innings, before falling, 14-0, in the five-inning rematch.
 
RIT 1, ROCHESTER 0 (8 INN.)
  • Sophomore Jessica Majot twirled a complete-game three-hitter, only allowing one runner past second, to improve to 4-0 this spring.
  • Junior Maddy Cook finished 2-for-4, plating junior Bailey Kehl with the winning run in the bottom of the eighth.
  • Majot got out of a one-out jam in the fifth after hitting the leadoff batter who eventually advanced to third with one out. Majot induced an infield pop-out followed by a ground-out to second to avoid any damage.
  • Kehl led off the decisive bottom of the eighth with a single to center before Kehl advanced to second after senior Elise Guth reached on a fielding error on a sacrifice bunt attempt. Junior Lillian Rienstra advanced both runners with another sacrifice bunt, before first-year Emma Merkley was intentionally walked to load the bases.
  • Cook drove a ball over second base to bring home Kehl with the winning run. 
ROCHESTER 14, RIT 0 (5 INN.)
  • Cook logged the lone Tiger hit in the second game, while the Yellowjackets plated two runs in the first and three in the second for a 5-0 lead.
  • Rochester scored single runs in the third and the fourth before scoring seven times in the fifth to put the game out of reach. 
WHAT'S NEXT
RIT is scheduled to host Brockport for a non-league doubleheader on Tuesday (Apr. 9), starting at 3:00 p.m.
