BELLEROSE, N.Y.—The York College softball team took leads into the final inning of both games of its doubleheader vs. Brooklyn, but ended up losing each time by scores of 11-8 and 12-11 respectively.
 
Game One Recap
 
With the score tied at 3-3 in the bottom of the fifth, York got a pair of two-out, RBI singles from Conetia Anderson and Kenihak Tavarez to take a 5-3 lead.  The Cardinals maintained the lead into the final inning, but Brooklyn rallied for four runs in the top of the seventh to take a 7-5 lead.
 
This forced York to make a comeback of its own, plating two runs—one on an error and another on a single from Tavarez to tie the game at 7-7 and sending the game into extra innings.  However, Brooklyn would tack on four more runs in the top of the eighth to get the win.

The Cardinals held an 11-10 lead going into the final inning, but poor fielding allowed Brooklyn to put up two runs in the frame to move ahead 12-11.  York then went down quietly in the bottom of the inning.
