HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • The first game opened with three scoreless innings, with Elmira threatening to score in the bottom of the first after Olivia Roccabruna '27 and Asia Curkendall '25 reached safely with no outs. However, the Soaring Eagles made three straight outs and ended the inning with the two runners left on base.
  • The Fighting Tigers struck first in the top of the fourth inning, plating four runs on two RBI singles and two bases-loaded walks to take a 4-0 lead.
  • The Soaring Eagles responded quickly, scoring their first run in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI triple by Madison Brown-Bloom '23. Jocelyn Jean '27 followed by driving in Brown-Bloom on an RBI double, cutting the deficit in half.
  • Cobleskill got those two runs back in the top of the fifth, scoring on an Elmira error before driving in another with an RBI groundout.
  • EC plated one more run in the bottom of the sixth on an inside-the-park home run by Kaitlyn Belmont '24. However, Elmira only got one run and entered the final frame down by three.
  • With one out in the bottom of the seventh, the Soaring Eagles began to rally with hits from Riley Storrs '27 and Curkendall. After Brianna Ramstine '25 reached on a fielder's choice, the Soaring Eagles were down to their last out and still trailed by three. With Katie Distefano '24 stepping up to the plate, she laced a double to drive in a pair of runs and bring Elmira to within one. Belmont and Brown-Bloom followed by drawing walks to load the bases before Jean tied the game with an RBI single. The Soaring Eagles could not end it in the seventh, and the contest went to extra innings.
  • The Soaring Eagles kept the Fighting Tigers scoreless in the top of the eighth, and after Hannah Flagg '24 moved Hannah Colwill '27 to third on a sacrifice bunt, Roccabruna drove in the winning run on an infield single, with Colwill beating the throw home to seal the victory for the Purple & Gold.
  • EC began the second game of the afternoon on the front foot, taking an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning on a Belmont RBI single. 
  • Elmira plated three more in the bottom of the second, with Bella DeAmelia '24 getting the first run after coming home on an error. Distefano followed up with an RBI triple before Belmont brought her home on an RBI single.
  • Flagg added another two runs for the Soaring Eagles in the third inning when she drove in Ramstine and DeAmelia on a two-run double, bringing Elmira's lead to 6-0.
  • Cobleskill got on the board in the top half of the fourth, scoring its first run of the contest on an RBI groundout.
  • After holding the Fighting Tigers scoreless in the top of the fifth, the Soaring Eagles came close to ending the game in five innings, plating a pair with a one-run triple from Colwill and an RBI single from Flagg. Elmira held an 8-1 lead but could not add another, and the game went into the sixth inning.
  • The visitors scored a pair of unearned runs in the top of the sixth on a two-run single to bring the score to 8-3 heading into the bottom half of the inning.
  • Distefano started the frame with a two-strike single and reached second after Belmont drew a walk. Brown-Bloom brought Elmira's run total to nine with an RBI single, and after Belmont stole third base, the Soaring Eagles pulled off a successful double-steal, reaching double-digit runs and putting them one run away from walking off for a second time. Brown-Bloom would reach third on a groundout, and on the first pitch of her at-bat, Colwill won the game for the Purple & Gold with an RBI single.
  • Maryann Sobel '25 picked up the win in the first game for the Soaring Eagles after tossing 4.1 innings in relief while allowing one earned run and striking out three. Shelby Dawe '27 secured her second win of the season in the following contest, throwing five innings of one-run ball.
  • Distefano led the Soaring Eagles with four hits across the two games, driving in three runs and scoring three more.
