Softball Defeats CSI in Doubleheader

Melissa Alfonso hit a walk-off single in game one while Marissa Cappello struck out 10 batters in game two.

WEEHAWKEN, N.J. (March 24, 2019) – The Stevens Institute of Technology softball team defeated the College of Staten Island in both games of a non-conference doubleheader Sunday afternoon at Weehawken Waterfront Park.  

Senior Christine LaRochelle (1-4) pitched game one and tallied seven strikeouts. Classmate Marissa Cappello (3-2) took over the mound for game two and struck out a season-best 10 batters for the Ducks, who improved to 5-7 on the year. 

Jaclyn Kateridge (0-10) was dealt both losses on the day after pitching 7.1 innings in the first game and 3.0 in the second. The Dolphins fell to an overall record of 0-10.
 
Game One (W, 5-4)
Staten Island scored the first run of the game when Sierra Kaplanek hit a single that dropped into left-center field and brought in J. Kateridge. 

The following two innings were scoreless until junior Gina DeOliveira hit a sacrifice fly to center field to send home freshman Lexi Gregule in fourth inning. 

The Dolphins answered in the top of the fifth after Erica Olsen reached base on an error and allowed Patricia Riches to score. Alexa Venditti followed with an RBI single to give Staten Island the advantage. 

In the bottom of the inning, sophomore Amanda Delorme singled to left field before junior Samantha Schattin brought her home on a triple to cut the Ducks' deficit to one run. 

After senior Katie Tirabassi hit a triple of her own, sophomore Madison Gemma recorded an RBI single to tie the game in the bottom of the sixth. 

Following a scoreless seventh inning, J. Kateridge grounded out to the second baseman but was able to bring in her sister Alexis Kateridge to give CSI a one-run lead heading into the bottom of the eighth. 

DeOliveira recorded her second RBI of the game when she doubled up the middle. Junior Melissa Alfonso then hit a walk-off RBI single to give Stevens their first win of the day. 

Game Two (W, 4-0)
Tirabassi gave Stevens the first run in game two with a homerun to left-center field in the first inning. Delorme followed with a single in the second inning that allowed Alfonso to score run number two. 

The Ducks added the final two runs in the third inning thanks to a groundout RBI from DeOliveira and an RBI double by Alfonso. 

Staten Island had the chance to score in the top of the sixth following singles from J. Kateridge, Antoinette Galbo and Riches loaded the bases. Kaplanek then reached on a fielder's choice after she sent the ball third base. Tirabassi fielded the ball before throwing to Alfonso at the plate to tag J. Kateridge for the out.
