Softball Shutout in Road Doubleheader Against the Yellowjackets

ROCHESTER, NY – The Buffalo State softball team were swept on the road by the University of Rochester Yellowjackets in their latest nonconference matchup, falling 4-0 in game one and 1-0 in game two.

GAME ONE BASICS

FINAL SCORE: University of Rochester – 4, Buffalo State – 0
LOCATION: Southside Field – Rochester, NY
RECORDS: Buffalo State: 16-13 (10-2 SUNYAC), University of Rochester: 18-9 (9-1 Liberty League)
 
INSIDE THE BENGAL BOX SCORE
  • Ella Stewart (Orchard Park, NY/Orchard Park), Deme Kellogg (Gansevoort, NY/South Glens Falls), Lexi Quagliana (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville South) and Natalie Burck (East Amherst, NY/Williamsville North) each gained a hit during this matchup.
  • On the mound, Madison Lucas (Oakdale, PA/West Allegheny) and Ella Susi (Lake View, NY/Frontier) split time pitching, with Lucas striking out three batters, and Susi striking out one.  
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After a gritty SUNYAC split with the Cortland Red Dragons, the Buffalo State Bengals hit the road for a nonconference doubleheader against the University of Rochester Yellowjackets. The opener began as a pitching duel, with both teams held scoreless through the first two innings behind strong defensive efforts.
  • The Yellowjackets broke the deadlock in the bottom of the third, taking a 1-0 lead. After the Bengals were retired, 1-2-3, in the top of the fourth, the Yellowjackets added to their advantage with a three-run surge in the bottom half, extending their lead to 4-0.
  • The Bengals offense couldn't find a spark, as they were shut out for the remainder of the game, dropping the first half of the twin bill, 4-0.
FOR THE FOES
  • Riley Laygo and Molly Mason each picked up an RBI.
  • Molly Broccolo picked up the complete game shutout win, striking out four batters.
 

GAME TWO BASICS

FINAL SCORE: University of Rochester – 1, Buffalo State – 0
LOCATION: Southside Field – Rochester, NY
RECORDS: Buffalo State: 16-14 (10-2 SUNYAC), University of Rochester: 19-9 (9-1 Liberty League)

INSIDE THE BENGAL BOX SCORE
  • Burck and Gigi Martinez (Chicago, IL/Whitney M. Young) both tallied a hit for the Bengals.
  • Izzy Pezdek (Lancaster, NY/Grand Island) pitched the full game for the Bengals, striking out two batters.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Looking to bounce back in game two, the Bengals aimed to crack a tough Yellowjackets squad known for its strong pitching and defense. The second game turned into a classic pitcher's duel, with both teams combining for just four hits through the first four innings.
  • With the game still scoreless and two innings to play, the Bengals hoped to secure a shutout win behind a solid outing from Pezdek. Though the Bengals couldn't plate a run in the top of the fifth, they held the Yellowjackets in check through the bottom half, then followed it with a quick 1-2-3 inning in the sixth.
  • But the Yellowjackets finally broke through in the bottom of the sixth with a single, a stolen base, and a double to bring home the game's only run. The Bengals were unable to answer in their final at-bat, falling in a narrow 1-0 loss and getting swept in the non-conference doubleheader.
FOR THE FOES
  • Julianna Lyons tallied three hits, including two doubles and the lone RBI for the Yellowjackets.
  • Maddie White picked up the complete game shutout win for game two, striking out two batters.
UP NEXT

The Bengals will make their final road stop of the 2025 campaign on Sunday, April 17, with a SUNYAC doubleheader against rivals Fredonia in this season's 'Battle by the Lake' series. Game one is set for 12 p.m., followed by game two at 2 p.m.
