The softball team is 14-7 overall and 10-3 in CSAC play. The Lady Cavs are fifth in the CSAC.
The Cabrini Cavaliers split a double-header for the second time on Tuesday. They faced of against Centenary College.
The starter for the first game was freshman Jess Giordano. Giordano pitched a complete game giving up one earned run on seven hits while striking out seven batters.
Centenary opened the scoring in the fourth inning with an RBI single from senior outfielder Erin Walsh. From there on out, it was scoreless until the sixth inning when Cabrini made their comeback.
Freshman outfielder Christine Ferraro scored the tying run in the bottom half of the sixth off of junior shortstop Kaitlyn Cooper’s double.
Sophomore outfielder Amber Dietrich finished it off after that hitting a game winning three-run homer. Centenary then failed to score in the top half of the seventh giving Cabrini a 4-1 win.
“I definitely knew we had it in us. When we played them last year in the playoffs we had won on a walk-off and throughout this season and last we have had a lot of comebacks so I wasn’t too worried about it at the time being because I knew that we all had it in us,” Dietrich, sophomore social work major, said. “It felt great having the game winning home run. Especially because I have been struggling at the plate the last few games so it was definitely a sigh of relief and gave me the chance to relax with my future at bats.”
In the second game the Cavaliers couldn’t sweep the set and fell to Centenary 1-6. Freshman Kaitlyn Hohman pitched a complete game with 7 IP while giving up six earned runs on 11 hits, striking out five batters and walking two.
The only run of the game came on sophomore second baseman Lindsay Savar’s run batted in, scoring senior third baseman Steph Viegel. Viegel was the game’s designated header.
Centenary had five different players with one or more runs batted in. Sophomore designated hitter Kylie Morgan-Polefka led the team with two.
Cabrini is now 14-7 on the season overall and 10-3 in CSAC play. Their next game is at home on Friday, April 17th against Marywood Universtity. Start of the game is at 3 p.m.
