Softball Drops Two Close Games To Eagles

BALTIMORE- The Notre Dame (MD) softball team dropped two closely contested CSAC games to Saint Elizabeth University on Wednesday, Apr. 19. The Gators fell by a score of 2-1 in game one, before dropping the night cap 3-2. 
 
GAME 1
The Gators (11-12 Overall, 4-5 CSAC) held the Eagles scoreless through the first five innings thanks to a great pitching performance from Jessie Leatherwood. Leatherwood allowed only three hits during her time in the circle, striking out seven along the way. Saint Elizabeth broke through in the sixth inning, hitting a two-run homerun to take the lead. 
 
NDMU tried to rally in the seventh inning with Ciarra Bockstie leading off the inning with a single through the right side. Bockstie eventually worked herself into scoring position with two outs in the inning. Candace Forgach-Aguilar hit a ball toward third, beating a throw to first and allowing Bockstie to score. The Gators could not complete the comeback, falling 2-1.  
 
GAME 2 
The Gators (11-13 Overall, 4-6 CSAC) got off to a better start in game two, scoring in the first inning. Emma Livingston led off the inning with a single down the left field line, and then stole second to put herself in scoring position. Miranda Burton then drove a single up the middle putting two runners in scoring position. Bethani Newbold plated run hitting a hard ground ball up the middle that allowed Livingston to score. Later in the inning, Burton capitalized on a wild pitch, scoring to make the game 2-0. 
 
Saint Elizabeth answered back, scoring three runs on two hits in the third inning to take a 3-2 lead. The Gators looked for an answer but could not get runner beyond second base. NDMU had one final chance in the bottom of the seventh inning, with Forgach-Aguilar lifting a double into left center field with one out in the inning. The Gators could not bring her around to score, falling 3-2. 
 
WHO'S NEXT 
The Gators will return home to continue CSAC play when they host Cedar Crest College on Saturday, Apr. 22. First pitch is scheduled for 1PM
