The softball team is 14-7 overall and 10-3 in CSAC play. The Lady Cavs are fifth in the CSAC.
The Cavaliers were on a move to accomplish their goals once they stepped on the field.
The Cabrini softball team split their doubleheader at Neumann, falling 3-0 in game one, before topping the Knights 3-2 in the nightcap. The Blue and White are now 13-6 overall and 9-2 in the CSAC.
The Cavalier’s offense struggled in game one. Freshman Christine Ferraro led the way with a pair of singles and added a stolen base.
Sophomore Amber Dietrich had one of only six hits for Cabrini. “I think I personally played okay, I could’ve been better from my point of view,” Amber Dietrich, sophomore social work major, said.
Sophomore Kiley Sharp pitched six innings, struck out four Knights, gave up nine hits and allowed three runs.
In game two, the Cavaliers opened the scoring in the third inning. With two outs, Junior Kaitlyn Cooper singled home Christine Ferraro for the first run of the game. Neumann took the lead in the bottom half of the third. Scoring two runs on three hits.
In the fourth, senior Becca Miles led off with a single to shortstop. Sophomore Brianna Milillo subbed in to pinch run for Miles and reached second following sophomore Natalie Giannascoli’s SAC bunt. Sophomore Lindsay Savar then homered to left field to take a 3-2 lead.
Freshman Kaitlyn Hohman went on to pitch four scoreless innings to earn the win. The freshman tossed a complete game, struck out four Knights and surrendered just two runs on nine hits to earn her fifth win of the year.
Ferraro, Dietrich, Cooper and Savar each shared a pair of hits in the win. “It was tough losing to them the first game,” Dietrich said. “But we kept our energy up and we came out really strong and on top.”
