Seven Sixth Inning Runs Give Clarkson Sweep Over RIT

Potsdam, NY – Scoring runs when they counted most, the Clarkson University Softball team picked up late runs to gain a 1-0 and 6-1 doubleheader sweep over RIT on Saturday afternoon at Scott Field.

The Golden Knights improved to 16-12 overall and 4-4 in the Liberty League, while RIT fell to 3-25-1 and 0-8. Clarkson plays a pair of non-league games against SUNY Canton on Tuesday and then hits the road for conference doubleheaders against Ithaca and Union over the weekend.

Both games saw the Knights go scoreless in the first five innings, but in the opener the Knights picked up all the scoring they would need with a 1-0 win, and in game two Clarkson plated six in the sixth to gain a come-from-behind 6-1 victory.

The opener didn't see either team really challenge much offensively until the fifth inning. RIT put runners on second and third with one out, but Riley Page got a pair of pop ups on the right side of the infield to get out of trouble. Clarkson likewise pushed a runner into scoring position with just one out, but a pop up and strikeout kept the Knights off the board.

Clarkson would eventually score in the sixth inning as Molly Pezzano opened the inning with a single and then stole second. She later came around on a single by pitcher Riley Page to put the Knights up 1-0. Page then escaped trouble in the seventh with two strikeouts to end the game, as the go-ahead run was on base.

Page finished with seven strikeouts and allowed just three hits in seven innings to earn her 10th win of the season. Pezzano went 2-for-3 at the plate for Clarkson.     

Game two was another quiet start for the Knights, and this time the team trailed in the contest. RIT scored a run on a fly out by Alexis Smith in the third and held a 1-0 lead until Clarkson came to bat in the bottom of the sixth. The Knights then batted around and scored six times to give starting pitcher Devin Fitzpatrick some cushion for the final inning. Elissa Uveino started off by reaching on a hit by pitch and was followed by a single and walk from Bridget Twaits and Molly Pezzano to load the bases. Uveino scampered home on a wild pitch to tie the game, 1-1, but the miscue by the Tigers mattered little in the grand scheme, as Emma Sabourin sent the other two runners in with a triple. Sabourin scored on a wild pitch to put the Knights up 4-1, but the Clarkson offense was not done despite starting again with no runners on base. Devin Fitzpatrick and Elizabeth Greco provided RBI singles for a pair of insurance runs.

Fitzpatrick ended the game with five hits allowed and a single earned run in seven innings, striking out three. Sabourin and Page each had two hits in the second game.
