Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Cape Coral, FL - The SUNY Oneonta softball team took two more wins yesterday, both in thrilling fashion, as they held off UMass-Dartmouth's late game rally and took Pittsburgh-Bradford to the ninth inning before winning the game.

In the opening game of the day against the Corsairs of UMass-Dartmouth, the Red Dragons tied the game at 1 apiece after the Corsairs got on the board in the bottom of the second inning. Sophomore Kristyn Neroda (Pearl River/Pearl River) entered the game as a pinch hitter in the fourth and laced a double to get the inning started. After a pop-up, freshman Katie O'Gorman (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) singled to bring Neroda home.

Oneonta would add two more in the top of the fifth to take the lead 3-1. With two outs, Neroda got on base due to a fielding error by the Corsairs third baseman. Junior Nicole Marzillo (Bay Shore/Bay Shore) stepped up to the plate and belted a long triple to score Neroda. Marzillo would come home on the next batter, O'Gorman, as she reached on the second error of the inning.

Umass-Dartmouth would get one run in the bottom of the seventh to close the game to 3-2 after a walk and double. The base runner would advance to third on fielder's choice and then the excitement ensued. Oneonta catcher, Brianna Rivera (Pomona/North Rockland), threw down to third baseman Jennifer Brocco (Kingston/Kingston), who tagged the runner as she had got caught off too far from the bag for the second out of the inning. Starting pitcher Sabrina DeAngelis (East Meadow/Kellenberg Memorial), who earned her third win of the year, got the final batter to strike out looking to secure the victory.

DeAngelis pitched the entire game, allowing four hits and two runs, while striking out eight batters.

Marzillo and Marlene Cuevas (Wappingers Falls/Roy C. Ketcham) each had a pair of hits in the game.

The second game of the day was all about pitching and defense. Oneonta's Rachel Hitt (Boonville/Adirondack Central) and Bradford's Sidney Mosby found themselves in a pitcher's duel as the two pitched a scoreless game through seven innings before the Red Dragon's bats came alive in the eighth.

Oneonta led off the ninth inning with a double to center field by Rivera, scoring Brocco, who started as the runner at second base due to the international run rule. Cuevas would bring home the insurance run as she singled to bring Rivera home for 2-0 lead going into the bottom of the inning.

Hitt finished the game with a strike out of the first batter and getting the next two to ground out to second base and pop up to the shortstop. Hitt struck out seven batters and allowed six hits in earning her fourth victory of the year.
