Offense Struggles in First Game North for Softball

GENESEO, NY – After 18 days off since the final games of the annual spring training schedule in Florida, the Nazareth College bats were nearly silenced as SUNY Geneseo won a pair of games Wednesday afternoon with 1-0 and 9-1 victories on Raschi Field.

Nazareth (4-8) starting pitcher sophomore Gabriella Corasaniti scattered 11 hits in the opener and did not allow a run until a walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh inning gave Geneseo (14-6) the 1-0 victory. Corasaniti walked two batters, struck out one relied on solid defense to get out of trouble in nearly every inning.

Geneseo had 11 hits and stranded 13 runners on base in the contest and left the bases loaded in two different innings.

Katherine Ruoff led the Nazareth offense in the opener with a pair of hits and also contributed a sacrifice bunt.

The Golden Flyers had their best chance to score in the top of the seventh as freshman Sarah Simmons walked with one out and Ruoff followed with a single to centerfield to put two runners on base. Corasaniti grounded out to the right side of the infield to move the runners to second and third but Geneseo forced a fly out to end the threat.

The first batter of the bottom of the seventh homered to end the game.

In the second game, Nazareth had four different batters with one hit each and scored the only run of the day in the sixth inning. Senior Marissa Tortora reached on an infield error with one out and with two outs junior Kristen Simmons doubled to left field to score Tortora.

Geneseo scored twice in the second and two more in the third for the early 4-0 lead. The Knights added a single run in the fourth and two more in the fifth to extend the lead to 7-0.

After the Golden Flyers scored in the top of the sixth, Geneseo added a pair of runs in the bottom half of the inning to end the game with the eight-run advantage run rule.

Sarah Simmons, senior Madison Joseph and freshman Allison Smith had hits for Nazareth.

The Golden Flyers will look to open Empire 8 play over the weekend with doubleheaders scheduled at Utica Saturday and at Sage Sunday.
