Clermont, Fla. – Senior designated player/pitcher Alexis Eastman (Endicott, N.Y./Union-Endicott) drove in two runs and recorded the save as the Le Moyne College softball team registered a 5-2 win over Slippery Rock University on Saturday at the National Training Center's Legends Way Ballfields. The Dolphins also defeated Caldwell University on Saturday morning, 4-3. Statistics are currently unavailable for the contest with the Cougars.

Slippery Rock opened the game's scoring with a run in the top of the first inning. Center fielder Emily Nagle drew a walk to begin the game and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. She then scored on a single by third baseman Becca Roesch.

The Dolphins took the lead with three runs in the bottom of the inning. Graduate student center fielder Kelsey Johnson (Greece, N.Y./Our Lady of Mercy/Buffalo/Syracuse) and junior right fielder Lauren Zazzaro (Southington, Conn./Southington) drew consecutive walks to start the frame and then senior third baseman Tess Andrews (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) singled to load the bases. Eastman followed with a single to drive in Johnson, while Zazzaro was thrown out at home. After a fly out, Andrews scored on a wild pitch. Sophomore second baseman Jillian McManus (Kingston, N.Y./Kingston) then doubled to knock in Eastman.

Le Moyne added a run on two hits in the second inning. Sophomore first baseman Taylor Artley (York Haven, Pa./Red Land) led off with a single to left, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Johnson and took third on a wild pitch. Sophomore right fielder Mia Pollino (Canandaigua, N.Y./Canandaigua) followed with a single to center to drive in Artley.

Slippery Rock pulled within 4-2 with a run in the fourth inning on two hits. Shortstop Kailey Myers led off with a single to left and came around to score on a triple by first baseman Allie Fischer.
