Mercy College Softball Splits Doubleheader to Centenary
COCOA BEACH,
FL - The Mercy College softball
team split a doubleheader on Monday against Centenary College,
winning the first game 9-0 and losing the finale 5-4 in extra
innings. The Mavericks' record is 3-6 this season and has four
games remaining in Cocoa Beach.
The Mavericks got an outstanding pitching performance from
sophomore Stephanie Pereyo
(Southington,
CT) who pitched a complete game
three-hit shutout in game one.
Pereyo, who picked up her first win of the season, had plenty of
offensive support with senior Jessica Madick
(Tarzana,
CA) hitting 4-for-4 with 2 RBI
and a run scored. Freshman Amanda McPhee
(Bristol,
CT) went 2-for-3 with two runs
scored and East Coast Conference (ECC) Rookie of the Week
Chelsea Methot
(Bristol,
CT) continued her hot hitting
going 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and two runs scored.
The Mavericks got the bats going in the first inning when McPhee
led off with a single and quickly came home on a double from
Methot.
While Pereyo kept the Cyclones scoreless, the Mavericks kept
hitting and broke out with five runs in the top of the sixth
inning. McPhee again led off the inning with a single and was moved
up to second on a single by freshman Kim Curry
(Bristol,
CT). Madick delivered an
RBI-single to score McPhee and Mercy tacked on four more runs
before the inning came to an end.
In game two, the Mavericks and starting pitcher sophomore
Samantha LaBella
(Mamaroneck,
NY) fell behind in the first by
allowing three runs on three hits and a walk.
However, Mercy stormed back with four runs in the fourth inning to
tie the game. Curry got the scoring going with an RBI-single and
freshman Stephanie Owsiany
(Edison,
NJ) followed with a run scoring
double. LaBella added an RBI-single to score Owsiany to tie up the
game.
Due to the international tie-breaker rule, the Cyclones began the
eighth with a runner on second and were able to bring the
game-winning base runner around to score.
The Mavericks will continue its Cocoa Beach trip on Tuesday with
games against Fisher College and Farmingdale College.
