Mavericks Softball Splits Pair of One-Run Games
Day Two of the Mercy College softball trip to Florida saw the
Mavericks split a pair of one-run games. Mercy beat Urbana, 5-4,
before losing to Assumption 2-1.
Against Urbana, senior Kim
Curry (Bristol, Conn./Central) singled home classmate
Paige Cauley (Stratford,
N.J./Sterling) in the top of the seventh. Cauley had
walked, and advanced to second on a passed ball. Freshman Mary Sieber (Massapequa,
N.Y./Massapequa) earned the win after throwing 1.1
innings.
Against Assumption, Mercy got its run in the top of the first,
as senior Chelsea Methot (Bristol,
Conn./Central) drove home classmate Krissy Lacik (Edison, N.J./Edison).
Assumption scored once in the fourth, and once in the bottom of the
seventh for the win. Freshman Tayla Gardner (Orangeburg, N.Y./Tappan
Zee) was the hard-luck loser, hurling a complete game,
scattering just two hits while striking out three.
