Softball Splits the Lakers, Dropping First SUNYAC Game of the Season

OSWEGO, NY – The Buffalo State softball team split their doubleheader with Oswego State, taking game one with a 9-4 victory before falling 8-4 in game two in their latest SUNYAC matchup.

GAME ONE BASICS

FINAL SCORE: Buffalo State – 9, Oswego State – 4
LOCATION: Laker Softball Field – Oswego, NY
RECORDS: Buffalo State: 13-10 (7-0 SUNYAC), Oswego State: 7-14 (0-5 SUNYAC)

INSIDE THE BENGAL BOX SCORE
  • Mya Hurley (Williamsville, NY/Amherst) continued a stretch of strong performances, finishing game one with three-hits, a double, two RBIs and home run to lead the Bengals. Madison Lucas (Oakdale, PA/West Allegheny) also had a day for the Bengals, finshing with three-hits, and two RBIs.  
  • Outside of Hurley and Lucas, Deme Kellogg (Gansevoort, NY/South Glens Falls) picked up a double and two RBIs, while Ella Stewart (Orchard Park, NY/Orchard Park) and Erin Paolilli (Poughkeepsie, NY/Arlington) rounded out the offense for the Bengals with an RBI each.
  • On the mound, Izzy Pezdek (Lancaster, NY/Grand Island) picked up the win for the Bengals, pitching five-innings and striking out seven Lakers. Lucas would also pitch two-innings, striking out for hitters.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Riding their "road warriors" mentality, the Buffalo State Bengals aimed to extend their SUNYAC hot streak in a doubleheader against the Oswego State Lakers. The Bengals came out firing, jumping to a first-inning lead thanks to a two-run homer from Hurley. The Lakers answered with a run in the bottom of the second and tied the game in the third.
  • The Bengals reignited their offense in the top of the fourth. After Pezdek drew a walk, Cam O'Hara (Troy, NY/Catholic Central) ripped a double, and Lexi Quagliana (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville South) followed with a single to load the bases. Paolilli then doubled to drive in a run, sparking a six-run inning that put the Bengals back in control.
  • Although the Lakers pushed across a run in the bottom of the fourth, the combined pitching efforts of Pezdek and Lucas, along with solid team defense, shut down Oswego for the rest of the game, securing a strong game one victory for the Bengals.
FOR THE FOES
  • Lillian Haggerty, Tahlia Gerardi, and Mackenzie Carlson each picked up a RBI in this matchup.
  • Maria Lutz and Gabriela Milazzo both pitched, striking out one hitter each.

GAME TWO BASICS

FINAL SCORE: Oswego State – 8, Buffalo State – 4
LOCATION: Laker Softball Field – Oswego, NY
RECORDS: Buffalo State: 13-11 (7-1 SUNYAC), Oswego State: 8-14 (1-5 SUNYAC)

INSIDE THE BENGAL BOX SCORE
  • Lucas would continue her eventful day, leading the Bengals with three-hits, a double and three RBIs. Grace Albano (North Tonawanda, NY/Niagara Wheatfield) picked up two hits and a double, while Stewart rounded out her day with two hits and a RBI.
  • Jean Rogers (Schenectady, NY/ Mohonasen) would start for the Bengals on the mound, pitching an inning, while Pezdek would finish the game on the mound, striking out six batters.  
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After a dominant game one win over the Lakers, the Bengals looked to complete the doubleheader sweep, something that's become a familiar theme in their SUNYAC campaign this season. However, the start was rocky, as the Lakers opened the scoring in the bottom of the first.
  • The Lakers followed with a four-run second inning, quickly building a five-run lead and catching the Bengals off guard. The Bengals got on the board with a run in the top of the third, but the Lakers responded in the bottom half to restore their five-run cushion. The Bengals added another run in the fifth, yet the Lakers maintained control, tacking on two more in the sixth.
  • In the seventh, the Bengals showed signs of life, rallying for two runs to pull within striking distance. But just as the momentum seemed to shift, the Lakers managed to hold…securing the win and denying the Bengals the sweep, handing them their first SUNYAC loss of the season. 
FOR THE FOES
  • Grace DiPalma led the Lakers with two RBIs.
  • Maria Lutz pitched all seven innings, striking out one batter for the Lakers.
