Softball sweeps third straight series Sunday

(Herkimer's Hannah Desino went 2-for-3 Sunday with 1RBI. It scored Karintha Myslivecek). 

HERKIMER, NY – The Herkimer Generals softball team outscored opponents a whopping 36-to-2 when their fourth game in two days concluded Sunday (4/12) at Harmon Field. Sunday's opponent was DII Monroe Community College, defeating the Tribunes 8-0 and 7-2.

Starting game both games Sunday were Dana Nicoletti (Syracuse, NY) and Brittany Ormond (New Paltz, NY). Both went the distance with Nicoletti allowing three hits in five innings and Ormond allowing two runs on four hits in seven. It helped Nicoletti to her third win and Ormond to her second.

Supplying the offense in both games was Elyssa LeBaron (Corning, NY). The freshman went 3-for-5 with five RBI combined, just two RBI ahead of Hannah Potter (Pulaski, NY) who had three RBI in game two, going 2-for-4 at the plate.

Joining LeBaron and Potter with multiple RBI was Lindsey Parese (Herkimer, NY). The utility player went 1-for-1 in game one with 2RBI. Parese now has four RBI on the season.

The Generals next doubleheader is Tuesday (4/14). It will be their third consecutive doubleheader at home. Jefferson has yet to play a game this season and will be taking on the No. 2 ranked team in the nation and owner of the top spot in the Region III. Tuesday's game will more than likely be played at Harmon Field again. The doubleheader is scheduled for 3 & 5 p.m.
