CU Softball Drops Opener to St. Lawrence, 8-6; Game 2 Postponed

Potsdam, NY – Hard wind gusts made playing conditions interesting throughout Friday's conference game as the Clarkson University Softball team's comeback effort against St. Lawrence came up short, 8-6, in Liberty League action at Scott Field.

The Golden Knights saw their record fall to 11-10 overall and 2-3 in the Liberty League while St. Lawrence edged forward to 13-7 and 3-2. The two teams will look to make up the second game of the doubleheader at a later date.

The Saints got off to a hot start in the first inning as the first six hitters reached base before an out was recorded. Margo Hopper singled in a run, Lauryn Best pushed two across with a double, and then the next three runs ended up being unearned. Only a few balls were hit particularly hard, including Best's double and a line drive single by Kayla Minst, but it was enough to put the Golden Knights on their heels early.

St. Lawrence added another run in the second as an RBI ground out from Minst made it 7-0. Clarkson put the leadoff runner on in the first three innings and had one on with just one out in the fourth, but the Knights were retired without a run scoring in that time. Clarkson finally broke through in the bottom of the fifth, as Sarah Vaccaro singled in Olivia Zoeller with two outs, and later came around on a single by Zoey Kovach to put the score at 7-2. St. Lawrence got one of the runs back in the sixth thanks to an RBI single from Cora Ferguson.

In the bottom of the sixth with the rain now accompanying the gusty winds, Clarkson scored three runs thanks to some fortunate hits. The bases were loaded with two errors and a walk, allowing Vaccaro's flare to right to score one run. Zoey Kovach then had her soft single in the infield spin its way fair to score another, and Riley Page singled to left to push another run across, making it 8-5. In the bottom of the seventh, Zoeller drew a two-out walk and Sam Short followed with a single up the middle to put runners on the corner. Vaccaro singled again to score one, but Short was caught between bases to end the game.

Kovach finished 4-for-4 with two RBI and Vaccaro was 3-for-5 with three runs batted in. Olivia Zoeller reached in all five of her plate appearances, going 2-for-2 with three walks and scoring three times. Riley Page took the loss for the Knights after facing the first four batters of the game, while Devin Fitzpatrick came on in relief and struck out seven over seven frames, giving up 10 hits and no walks.

For St. Lawrence, Jacee Casebolt pitched to enough contact to pick up the win over 5.2 innings of work, striking out one and walking four while also giving up 10 hits. Sofia Berryhill got the save, allowing a run over 1.1 innings. At the plate, Lauryn Best finished 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored, and two runs batted in, and Cora Ferguson ended up 3-for-4 with a run scored and another driven in.
