SBALL: DOLPHINS MOVE TO 7-1 WITH TWO REGIONAL WINS

KISSIMMEE, FL – The Le Moyne College softball team moved to 7-1 on the season with two victories over regional opponents on Wednesday. The Dolphins opened the day with a late-inning rally to defeat Dowling College 4-3. Le Moyne shutout C.W.

Behind a complete game by senior Jennifer Farrelley (Latham, NY / Shaker) and a late inning rally, the Dolphins defeated Dowling College 4-3. In their last at-bat, Le Moyne scratched for two runs as Bailey Phillips (Rochester, NY / Greece-Arcadia) and freshman Leah Ford (Pulaski, NY / Pulaski) scored on a combination of Dolphin hits and Golden Lion miscues. Farrelley closed the door in the seventh to pick up the victory.

In the second game of the afternoon, the Dolphins capitalized on four Pioneer miscues to push across three runs. The Dolphins got on the board first in the bottom of the first inning as junior Bailey Philips scored on a fielding error. The ‘Phins would strike for two more runs in the fifth inning when Danielle VanGorder (Vestal, NY / Vestal) scored on a Phillips single along with a C.W. Post fielding error. Phillips would come around to score on a single by freshman Barbara Shea (Clifton Park, NY / Shenendehowa). Jenna Vanacore shined again in the circle pitching a complete game with eight strikeouts.

Following a day off on Thursday, the Dolphins return to action on Friday as they take on Southern Indiana at 9:00 AM and Minnesota State at 11:00 AM.
