Knights Take Two From SUNY Potsdam, 12-4 and 8-2

Potsdam, NY – Big innings in the later portions of each game gave the Clarkson University Softball team a sweep of SUNY Potsdam on Thursday, as the Golden Knights won the opener 12-4 and claimed the nightcap 8-2 at Scott Field.

The Golden Knights improved to 16-10 on the season and will be back in Liberty League action this weekend at Rensselaer and St. Lawrence. Potsdam dropped to 5-15 on the year.

In game one, the Bears got on the board first with a pair of runs in their first at bat as Shelby Van Epps started the rally with a two-out double and then came home on a double by Megan Fish. Grace Folmsbee followed with a single to plate Fish, making the score 2-0 before Clarkson got its first hacks. The Knights were quiet in the bottom half of the inning, but scored three in the bottom of the second thanks to an RBI-single by Kyrstin Messier and a two-run single from Rylee LeBourveau. Two more runs came around in the bottom of the third on a bases loaded fielder's choice as a throwing error at the plate allowed two runs to come around.

Potsdam kept things close with two runs in the top of the fifth, pulling back within one, 5-4. However, the Knights put up seven runs in the bottom half of the frame to end the game surprisingly early, considering how close it was up to that point. Raeanna Dunn doubled in two runs and later scored on an error. Liz Caggiano singled home a run, Michele Winn doubled one in and then scored on a wild pitch, and the game ended on a Hannah Bowen single up the middle for the seventh run of the inning, putting the Knights up 12-4.

Caggiano was 3-for-4 in the game, while Dunn, Winn, Sarah Vaccaro, Bowen, Messier and LeBourveau each notched two hits. Vaccaro reached base in all four of her plate appearances, also drawing two walks. For Potsdam, Van Epps and Fish each recorded two hits.

Game two was a different story as Olivia Zoeller and Kiera Nesbitt matched zeroes for the first four innings. Zoeller recorded at least two strikeouts in each of the first four innings before Potsdam touched her for two runs in the top of the fifth. Brooke Falsion doubled home a run for the first and Lucy Condon then pushed another run across on a fielder's choice. Clarkson responded with a run in the bottom of the fifth when Danielle Whitham singled home Kayla Robert.

Down a run in the bottom of the sixth, Clarkson again posted a seven-spot to put the game away. Sarah Vaccaro opened the rally with a one-out single and was able to jog home on Kyrstin Messier's line drive, two-run homer to left, the first four-bagger of her collegiate career. Unsatisfied with a 3-2 lead, Clarkson continued to pour on the offense with Maddie Brink immediately following with a single. A fielder's choice put the Bears within one out of escaping the jam, but LeBourveau singled and Dunn drove in two with a hit up the middle. Danielle Whitham then delivered a single and stole second, allowing Dunn to take home. It wouldn't have mattered, however, as Liz Caggiano hit a two-run shot over the left-center fence, giving Clarkson an 8-2 advantage.

Zoeller received a no-decision for her start, striking out eight and allowing five hits in five innings. Sam Mennig picked up the win in relief, giving up just one hit over the last two innings of the game as the Knights' offense woke up. Messier and Whitham each had two hits in the game, while Brooke Falsion struck for two hits for the Bears.
