SB: DOLPHINS POUND OUT 29 HITS IN DOUBLEHEADER SWEEP OF SAINT MICHAEL'S, 12-1, 9-0

Syracuse, N.Y. - Freshman second baseman Kelcie Cashel (Lacona, N.Y./Sandy Creek) went 6-for-7 with three stolen bases and three runs scored to lead Le Moyne College to a doubleheader sweep over Saint Michael's on Saturday afternoon in Northeast-10 Conference softball action at the Thomas J. Niland Athletic Complex. The Dolphins defeated the Purple Knights 12-1 in five innings in the opener and 9-0 in five innings in game two.

The Dolphins got on the scoreboard in game one with three runs on three hits and an error in the second inning. Freshman left fielder Kate Waltman (Alplaus, N.Y./Niskayuna) opened the frame by reaching on an error and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. Sophomore right fielder Amanda Daum (Auburn, N.Y./Auburn) followed with a double to left center to drive in Waltman. After a single and stolen base by freshman first baseman Leah Ford (Pulaski, N.Y./Pulaski), junior center fielder Danielle VanGorder (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal) singled just inside first base to knock in Daum and Ford.

The Dolphins tacked on one run in the third inning before scoring eight times in the bottom of the fourth inning. Senior designated player Jennifer Farrelly (Latham, N.Y./Shaker) and third baseman Caitlin O'Neill (Pittsford, N.Y./Our Lady of Mercy) each singled to open the third. Following a sac bunt by Waltman, sophomore catcher Kim Baker (Murrieta, Calif./Murrieta Valley) singled to center to plate Farrelly.

Le Moyne broke the game open in the fourth with eight runs on 10 hits and an error. Ford singled and stole second, while VanGorder followed with a single up the middle to open the inning. Following a Saint Michael's pitching change and a steal by VanGorder, Cashel singled up the middle to knock in Ford. Junior shortstop Kelly Schweikert (Rochester, N.Y./Spencerport) then singled to left field to move Cashel to third and score VanGorder. Farrelly, the Northeast-10 and ECAC player and pitcher of the week, followed with a singled down the left field line to knock in Cashel and Schweikert. After O'Neill singled up the middle, Waltman singled through the right side to drive in Farrelly. As Waltman was stealing second, the ball was thrown away to allow pinch-runner Amanda Mosich (Penn Yan, N.Y./Penn Yan Academy) to score from third base. Following a Baker single and another Saint Michael's pitching change, Daum drove in Waltman with a groundout. Two batters later, VanGorder capped Le Moyne's scoring with a single to left field to knock in Baker.

The Purple Knights scored once in the top of the fifth inning, but freshman pitcher Brenna Klein (Huntington Beach, Calif./Ocean View) worked out of a bases loaded jam to end the game.

Sophomore right-hander Jenna Vanacore (Hicksville, N.Y./Holy Trinity) allowed just a first inning single, while striking out five batters, in four innings of work to record her team-best 11th win of the season. Each member of the Dolphins' batting order recorded a hit, led by VanGorder and Cashel, who registered three hits each.

In the nightcap, the Dolphins jumped on the Purple Knights early with four runs on three hits and two errors in the first inning. Cashel singled through the left side with one out and proceeded to steal second base. Schweikert followed with a double down the left field line to drive in Cashel. After freshman designated player Barb Shea (Clifton Park, N.Y./Shenendehowa) reached on a dropped fly ball, O'Neill drove in Schweikert as she reached on a throwing error, allowing Shea to also score. Two batters later, Baker doubled to center field to plate O'Neill from second.

Le Moyne added a pair of runs on three hits in the third inning. O'Neill doubled to left field with one out and moved to third on a groundout. Baker followed with her second double of the contest to score O'Neill. Daum connected on a 2-2 pitch for a single to left center to drive in Baker.

The Dolphins closed out the afternoon's scoring with three runs on four hits in the bottom of the fourth inning. Schweikert followed a one-out double by Cashel with a single to center to drive in her double-play partner. After Schweikert stole second, Shea singled up the middle to drive her in. After a strikeout, Waltman singled to left center to drive in Shea for the final run of the day.

Sophomore righty Katelyn Fowler (Sandy Creek, N.Y./Sandy Creek) tossed five shutout innings, allowing just two hits, to register her second victory of the season. Cashel posted three hits in the contest, while Schweikert and Baker contributed two hits apiece.

Le Moyne (23-7, NE-10 11-1), which has won seven consecutive conference games, returns to action on Wednesday, April 15 against Southern Connecticut State at 1:00 p.m.
