Flyers salvage softball split with Fisher

Game 1 | Game 2 | Updated stats
ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Junior Danae Wetherbee tossed a five-hitter and junior Maureen Rogers drove home the only run of the game with a third-inning double as host Nazareth won the second game of a softball doubleheader Thursday against St. John Fisher, 1-0. The Cardinals won the first game, 7-0.

With the split, Nazareth is now 10-10 overall and 3-3 in Empire 8 Conference games. Fisher is 20-8 overall and 4-2 in conference games.

Fisher managed just five singles off Wetherbee, who had no strikeouts but walked just one and benefited from errorless defensive play to improve her pitching record to 3-2. She outdueled Fisher freshman Lindsey Thayer (13-4), who dominated the first game by yielding just one hit and striking out 12.

Nazareth had better swings against Thayer in the second game and strung together three hits to score the game's only run in the third inning. Morgan Ross had a one-out double and advanced to third on a single by Emily Graham. Rogers then followed with her RBI double to the left-center field gap.

Fisher, meanwhile, stranded runners on base in five of the seven innings and threatened to score in the top of the seventh after Emma Savas opened the inning with a bunt single. She advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt, but the game ended when she was doubled off second following a line drive that was snagged by Nazareth second baseman Sarah Papponetti, who flipped to the shortstop Ross for the force out and game-ending double play.

Nazareth managed just one hit off Thayer in the first game as Fisher cruised. Carly Pike looped a single to left field to lead off the bottom of the fifth, but was thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a double. Fisher scored once in the second inning and broke the game open with four more runs in the fourth. Nazareth pitcher Nicole White struggled in the inning by walking six batters. Karlie Neale and Danielle Ventrone each had two hits in the game for Fisher.

Nazareth is on the road for a pair of conference doubleheaders over the weekend. The Golden Flyers visit Utica Saturday and Ithaca Sunday. The first game starts at 1 p.m. both days.
