Gameday Program

OLD WESTBURY, NY --- 
(www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury softball bounced back to win 12-4 in game two after falling 7-5 to the Purchase Panthers in Sunday's Skyline Conference Senior Day showdown from Jackie Robinson Athletic  Complex.  Prior to first pitch, senior Kristan Taylor was honored with Old Westbury's annual Senior Day Ceremony for her dedication to SUNY Old Westbury Athletics. 

Game 1: Purchase 7, Old Westbury 5
Old Westbury jumped ahead in the second inning with three unearned runs off Purchase starter Samantha Alonzo (7-4, 5.2 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2K).  A fielding error by first baseman Antonia Fiore allowed the first two runs to score followed by Gabriella Valdes' RBI single pushed Krysta Flareau across for the 3-0 lead. 

Kaite Skelly's (2-for-4) RBI single scored Katie Rizzo in the third to extend Old Westbury's lead to 4-0.

Purchase answered in the fourth with five unearned runs on four errors and two hits off Panther starter Amanda Fucci (3-9, 7 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 2 ER, BB, 3 K).

Lisa Kentris' (2-for-4, 2 RBI, R) two-out RBI single gave the visitors a 6-4 lead in the fifth.

Rizzo made it a 6-5 game in the sixth with a two-out RBI to score Otilia Bernal.   

Alonzo settled the scoring in the seventh with a sacrifice fly for the 7-5 final. 

Game 2: Old Westbury 12, Purchase 4 (6 Inn.)
Kelly Hayes' (2-for-3, R) RBI single ignited Purchase's 2-0 lead on Fucci (4-9, 6 IP, 6 H, 4 R, BB, 3 K) in the first inning. 

Old Westbury replied in the bottom of the frame with Samantha Scharff's (4-for-4, 2 RBI, 2 R, 2 2B) two-run single to tie the game off Fortuna (8-4, 5.1 UP, 12 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 3 BB, 3 K).  

Tara Stiansen singled home Shannon Clancy for the tie breaking run to give Purchase a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning.  Two batters later, Hayes doubled in Stiansen for the 4-2 advantage. 

Old Westbury collected four hits to take a 6-4 lead in the fifth.  Flareau opened with a run-scoring sacrifice fly to score Skelly (2-for-2, 2 R, 2 BB).  Scharff then scored off a throwing error by Fortuna.  Valdes (3-for-5, 2 RBI, 2 R) followed with a RBI triple and then scored off a passed ball.

Brittany Chernoff singled home Skelly to spark Old Westbury's five-run sixth inning to put the game away for the run-rule win.
