Softball Opens E8 Slate with 12-4 Victory against Brockport; Game Two Suspended

HORSEHEADS, N.Y. – A grand slam from Hannah Colwill helped spark a 12-4 victory for the Elmira College softball program on Saturday as the Soaring Eagles opened the Empire 8 portion of their schedule against SUNY Brockport at the Holding Point Recreation Complex. The second game was halted in the top of the third inning due to field conditions after steady rain in the area.

  • Elmira's offense would break out in the sixth inning as Asia Curkendall singled to right field to knot the score 4-4. Maryann Sobel followed with the go-ahead single on a bunt that allowed Curkendall to score.
  • Colwill launched a grand slam later in the inning to put the Purple & Gold ahead 9-4.
  • Ramstine delivered a home run of her own in the seventh inning to cap the scoring, as her two-run shot to left field made it 12-4.
  • Five different Soaring Eagles finished the contest with two hits, while Sobel earned her third win of the season after going the distance, allowing four runs off six hits to go along with five strikeouts.
