HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • The Saxons began the bottom of the second with a triple and followed it up with an RBI single to double their lead.
  • Both teams went scoreless in the third inning, and after the Soaring Eagles went down in order, Alfred scored five runs in the bottom half of the inning on a pair of one-run singles, a two-run double, and an RBI walk.
  • With Elmira trailing 7-0 entering the top of the fifth, the Soaring Eagles could not find their footing offensively, striking out twice in another 1-2-3 inning for the Purple & Gold.
  • The Saxons scored their eighth run to walk it off in the bottom of the fifth, driving in a run on an RBI double to claim the 8-0 victory.
  • In game two, The Soaring Eagles got a runner on base in the top of the first inning when Katie Distefano '24 hit a two-out single back up the middle, but she was left on base after a strikeout ended the frame.
  • Alfred scored first in the bottom of the inning, plating three runs on three RBI singles. 
  • After three straight Elmira outs in the top of the second, Alfred scored two more on an error and sacrifice fly, taking a 5-0 lead after two.
  • Distefano got another hit with one out in the top of the fourth, but the Soaring Eagles could not capitalize and struck out twice to end the inning.
