Zoeller Strikes Out 15 as Knights Split at Union

Schenectady, NY – Junior pitcher Olivia Zoeller whiffed 15 in the opener, her seventh double-digit strikeout game of the year, as the Clarkson University Softball team splits its Liberty League doubleheader with Union College on Saturday, taking game one 3-1 and falling the second contest 7-3.

Clarkson moved to 16-10 overall and 8-6 in the Liberty League while Union improved to 4-15 and 4-13 in conference games. The two teams will matchup once again on Sunday when the Knights host the Dutchwomen at Scott Field.

In the opener, Olivia Zoeller set the tone by recording strikeouts on eight of the first nine outs of the game and let her offense put enough offense together to win the game. Clarkson scored two in the top of the second as Kayla Robert led off with a walk. Robert did not move up a base as the next two hitters were retired, but Katy Aldous singled and Alyssa Schaechinger followed with a single to right-center to score Robert and put the Knights up 1-0. Rylee LeBourveau immediately followed with a single through the left side to plate Aldous and Clarkson was ahead by a pair of runs. In the third, the Knights picked up an insurance run as Bridget Twaits led off with a single and Kayla Robert punched a hit to left to drive her home for a 3-0 Clarkson lead.

The lone blemish on Zoeller's day came in the sixth when Karson Saunders hit a one-out homer, but otherwise Zoeller had little trouble, allowing only two hits and two walks while striking out 15 in her 12th win of the year. Makayla Koehler took the loss for the Dutchwomen, giving up six hits and a walk over five innings, while Catie Raeter pitched the final two innings and gave up just one hit. Kayla Robert was the only player on either side to safely reach more than once, going 1-for-2 with a walk.

Game two saw Union put up runs in five of their six at bats with only the bottom of the first ending scoreless. The Dutchwomen put one run across in the second on a Hannah Mitchell RBI single, and then two more scored in the third when Olivia Valery doubled in a run and scored herself on a wild pitch. In the fourth, back-to-back run-scoring hits from Anna Zdunczyk and Karson Saunders put the Dutch women up 5-0.

In the sixth, Clarkson scratched a run as Kayla Robert led off with a single and then rounded the bases later on an error and groundout, but Union got the run back in the bottom half of the inning thanks to a sacrifice fly. The next inning saw the Knights pick up two with back-to-back RBI hits from Kayla Robert and Maddie Brink, but the two-out rally came to an end before Clarkson could make up the difference.

Olivia Zoeller was 3-for-4 in game two, while Bridget Twaits, Kayla Robert, and Maddie Brink each recorded two hits. For Union, Anna Zdunczyk was 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and both Karson Saunders and Olivia Valery had a pair of hits.
