Mercy College Softball Drops ECC Doubleheader to Concordia
DOBBS FERRY, NY - The
Mercy College softball team was defeated in both ends of an East
Coast Conference (ECC) doubleheader by Concordia by a score of 6-3
in game one and 8-7 (eight innings) in game two.
In game one Concordia (12-16, 5-11 ECC) struck first in the second
inning for three runs. Senior Kelly Moran
(Fishkill,
NY) hit a two-run single and then
freshman Ashley Corriss
(Sayville,
NY) followed with an RBI single
down the right field line.
The Mavericks (16-17, 5-12) got one run back when sophomore
Kim Curry
(Bristol,
CT) was hit by the pitch with the
bases loaded.
The Clippers scored three more times in the third inning,
capitalizing on two Mercy miscues. Freshman Victoria
Pisciotta (New Hyde
Park,
NY) capped off the rally with an
RBI single to put the Clippers up 6-1.
The Mavericks scored twice in the seventh on RBI singles by junior
Brittney Stockert
(Hawthorne,
NY) and sophomore Krissy
Lacik (Edison,
NJ). But that's as close as they
would get as Concordia took game one.
Curry and sophomore Chelsea Methot
(Bristol,
CT) each had two hits.
