The SUNY Oneonta softball team was postponed for a day, but were able to get in its doubleheader today at Muhlenberg coming away with a split.  The Red Dragons won game 1, 6-5, and dropped game 2, 7-0.  Oneonta remains at the .500 mark with a 6-6 record overall.
 
Game 1 – Oneonta 6, Muhlenberg 5
The Red Dragons didn't waste any time in posting a five-spot in the top of the first inning.  The table-setters of leadoff hitter Dana Del Genio (New Hartford/New Hartford) and the No. 2 batter Selena Ruiz (Westbury/W.T. Clarke) got things going reaching base on back-to-back singles.  Senior Cori McFall (Pleasant Valley/Arlington) then brought them home with a one-out triple to right field.  McFall didn't stay on third long, as junior Lauren Sabatino (Bayville/Locust Valley) drove her in with a single up the middle.
 
The final two runs of the inning were aided by a couple of miscues by Muhlenberg.  A fielding error by the shortstop allowed Sabatino to reach second and Amanda Sexton (Port Jervis/Port Jervis) to get to first base.  The next batter was Brooke Corbett (Bethlehem/Bethlehem Central) who laid down a bunt to move the runners, but ended up reaching on a muffed throw by the second baseman.  Sabatino scored on the play and Sexton went to third.  Bailey Schwark (Port Ewen/Kingston) drove in Sexton with a ground out to first base.
 
Muhlenberg scored a single run in the bottom of the first on a two-out single by Kristy Selby.  The Mules added a pair of runs in the bottom of the third on RBI singles by Kristina Qualben and Sophie Chong.
 
The Red Dragons plated a single run in the home half of the sixth on an RBI single by freshman Caroline Koch (New City/Clarkstown South) that drove in Del Genio.
 
Muhlenberg pulled to within 6-5 with two more runs in the sixth.  A two-out single by Amelia Shelley drove in Hanna Caiola and Ariana Feliziani.
 
Winning pitcher Alyssa Bluethgen (Commack/Commack) retired the side in order in the seventh to pick up her fourth win of the season.  Bluethgen recorded four strikeouts while only being charged with three earned runs.
 
In game 2, the Mules scored its seven runs on nine hits while holding the Oneonta bats to just five hits.  Muhlenberg (5-7) scored three runs in the second, three more in the fourth and added its final run in the fifth.
 
Oneonta will have the week off before traveling to nationally ranked Ramapo next Saturday for a doubleheader beginning at 1pm.
