@yorkcardinals Softball powers pasts Yeshiva in program-record 31-run triumph

York College returns to home field Friday (Mar. 28) for a non-conference doubleheader against Cedar Crest University

NEW ROCHELLE, NY-- (www.YORKATHLETICS.com) York College softball continued to produce offensively against the Yeshiva University Maccabees (1-9), as the Cardinals scored 31 runs Sunday afternoon in a 31-18 game one triumph, before falling 6-4 in four innings during game two (NCAA bylaw Exception 6.19.1) from Flowers Park. The 31 runs mark a program record after previously scoring 27 runs in the season opener (Mar. 6) against the Maccabees.   

Game 1: York 31, Yeshiva 18 (6 Inn.)
  • The Cardinals jumped ahead in the opening frame with four runs. Madison Plaza (3-for-6, HR, 4 R, 3 RBI, SB) cranked a solo shot to break the scoring ice to lead off the game. Two batters later, a fielding error doubled York's advantage, scoring Samantha Panameno (3 R, RBI, SB) for a 2-0 lead. Following a base hit by Jeana Clemons (3-for-5, HR, 4 R, 4 RBI, BB, SB), Michelle Mancuso (4-for-6, 3 R, RBI, 4 SB) made it a three-run game with an RBI single.  Clemons then stole home to put York up by four on Yeshiva pitcher Alexis Leibowitz (L, 0-1: 6 IP, 10 H, 11 ER, 7 BB, 7 SO).
  • The Maccabees answered in the home half of the first with 12 runs as Galit Roth (4-for-5, 4 R, 4 RBI, BB, SB) got the rally going with a two-run single. Yeshiva would also use five run-scoring walks and two more RBI singles to chase York starter Mulazia Woods (ND: 0.0 IP, 4 H, 8 BB, 12 ER) out of the game. Talia Finn's (4-for-5, R, 4 RBI) two-RBI knock ended the first-inning offense at 12.
  • Clemons continued her surge with a two-run double in the second inning to slice the deficit in half (12-6).
  • York leveled the score at 12 in the third with a trio of hits and capitalized on two Yeshiva miscues. Woods (3-for-6, 3 R, 3 RBI, 2 SB) opened the scoring with an RBI double, followed by a run-scoring single by Amaniya Aiken (3 R, RBI, 2 BB, 3 SB). 
  • Cardinal reliever Ayana Saavedra (W, 3-1: 6 IP, 10 H, ER, 4 BB, career-high 9 SO) worked around a hit and a walk in the bottom of the third to keep the score knotted at 12.
  • York piled on nine runs in the fourth to grab a 21-12 edge. Alyssa De La Rosa (2-for-6, 3 R, 4 RBI, SB) broke a tie with a two-run single to make it 14-12.  Clemons then stepped to the plate and launched a two-run homer for her first-career big fly. Plaza later extended the lead to nine with a two-run double to end the inning.
  • Yeshiva found its offensive rhythm with three runs off three hits in the bottom of the fourth. Finn's RBI single closed the gap to six (21-15).
  • Woods' run-scoring single pushed the Cardinals' advantage to eight (23-15) in the top of the fifth.
  • Going closer, the Maccabees brought three more runners home in the home half of the fifth inning to make it 23-18.
  • Putting the contest away, three hits, five errors, and six stolen bases helped York add eight runs in the sixth inning to clinch a 31-18 result.  Panameno and De La Rosa went back-to-back with RBI singles to open the frame before Aiken closed out the scoring with the record-setting run for York off a wild pitch to settle the scoreline.  
  • In addition to the final score, the Cardinals maintained an advantage in hits (19-14), extra-base hits (5-0), and stolen bases (17-2), while Yeshiva drew four more walks (12-7). 
Game 2: Yeshiva 6, York 4
  • RBI singles by Roth, Liebowitz, Alyssa Feldman, and Allison Bender spearheaded a 5-0 first inning for Yeshiva. The Maccabees brought nine hitters to the plate against Cardinal starter Saavedra (L, 4 IP: 7 H, 5 ER, 5 SO). 
  • Yeshiva's Hadassah Greenberg induced three pop-ups in the second frame to keep York scoreless.
    Plaza's (1-for-3, RBI, R) RBI single opened up the Cardinal scoring in the third inning. Plaza subsequently stole second base, advanced to third on a passed ball, and scored after a De La Rosa RBI groundout.
  • Leibowitz's (2-for-2, 2 RBI, 2 R) aggressive baserunning engineered a sixth Maccabee run in the bottom of the third.
  • The Cardinals trimmed the deficit to two (6-4) in the fourth inning following an RBI single from Aiken.
  • Saavedra kept the scoreline at 6-4 after retiring Yeshiva's batters in order during the bottom of the fourth.
  • Greenberg (W: 5 IP, 5 H, ER, BB, 2 SO) worked a scoreless top of the fifth to clinch a 6-4 victory.
