The SUNY Oneonta softball team entered this weekend 0-2 in the SUNYAC, but after today's doubleheader sweep of Potsdam, the Red Dragons made it a complete sweep for the weekend moving its conference record to 6-2 while raising its overall record to 15-10.
Â
The bats remained hot today for the Red Dragons recording 11 hits in each game. Oneonta won the games by the scores of 6-0 and 5-4 in nine innings.
Â
Junior Sabrina D'Angelis earned a pair of wins today to even her season record at 6-6. She went the distance allowing only five hits enroute to recording her first shutout of the season in game 1 and then entered game 2 in the bottom of the seventh and threw three more scoreless innings.
Â
The big hits in both games came from sophomore
Cori McFall (Pleasant Valley/Arlington), who clubbed a two-out, three-run home run to push Oneonta's lead to 5-0 in game 1 while knocking in the game-winning run in the top of the ninth inning of game 2.
Â
Sophomore
Ashley Lefebvre (Waterford/Waterford-Halfmoon) singled up the middle, stole second and then went to third on a fly out to left field by junior
Katie O'Gorman (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa). Lefebvre, who had three hits in the game, scored on McFall's single down the right field line.
Â
Junior
Marlene Cuevas (Wappingers Falls/Roy C. Ketcham) picked up where she left off yesterday with another three hit game and collecting one RBI in the game 1 victory.
Â
Oneonta scored its first two runs of game 1 in the third inning including squeezing one across. Lefebvre executed the squeeze perfectly to knock in freshman
Dana DelGenio (New Hartford/New Hartford) from third base. The other run came via a triple by O'Gorman that drove in senior
Jamie Whittam (Saugerties/Saugerties).
Â
Oneonta plated two runs in the top of the first inning of game 2. Whittam walked and then stole second and third base before scoring on a triple by O'Gorman. O'Gorman scored on a Cuevas single.
Â
Oneonta added single runs in the second and fifth innings and carried a 4-3 lead into the bottom of the sixth inning where Potsdam (9-14/2-4 SUNYAC) tied the game.
Â
DelGenio and junior
Jennifer Brocco (Kingston/Kingston) each had two hits in game 2.
