Box Score 2 BRONXVILLE, N.Y.-Sarah Lawrence Softball rounded out its weekend with a Skyline doubleheader against St. Joseph's College Long Island on Sunday. The Gryphon bats were silenced for most of the day, as SJC came away with wins, 10-0 and 13-3.
In game one, St. Joseph's (13-11, 7-2 Skyline) ran away with the lead, keeping Sarah Lawrence (0-18, 0-8 Skyline) in check. On defense, SLC shortstop
Riley Vuyovich (Toms River, N.J./Toms River North) made the play of the game when she caught a third-inning line drive and made a deadeye throw to
Rebecca Somogyi (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishiop John Carroll) at first base for a double play.
After SJC scored its 10 runs in the first two innings, the Green and White fielders played cleanly and allowed just two hits over three scoreless innings.
SJC's Sandrap Foster was two outs from a perfect game when SLC sophomore
Erin Chafatelli (Nashville, Tenn./McGavock) dropped a shot into center field for the Gryphons' only hit of the contest; Foster finished with nine strikeouts in her collegiate debut.
In game two, rookies
Em Hammett (Columbus, Ohio/The Wellington School) and
Kamaron McNair (Lawrenceville, N.J./The Hun School) each had hits in the first inning, while senior
Hayley Adams (Dover, N.H./Berwick Academy) singled in the second.
The Gryphons put their first run on the board in the third inning when Hammett, senior
Tori Himes (Boulder, Colo./New Vista) and rookie
Riley Vuyovich (Toms River, N.J./Toms River North) loaded the bases. Chafatelli drove in a run with a sacrifice fly, erasing the would-be shutout. Somogyi also had a hit in the game, singling in the fourth inning.
SLC yielded just three earned runs in the first four innings and trailed 7-1 heading into the fifth. From there, the Golden Eagles put the game out of reach with a six-run frame.
In the bottom of the fifth, Sarah Lawrence put up a fight when Himes reached for the second time, and Vuyovich followed with her ninth double in 14 games. McNair brought Himes home with an RBI single through the right side, and Vuyovich came home on a wild pitch to round out the scoring.
McNair pitched both complete games, adding four strikeouts to her season total. SJC's Ashley Blydenburgh earned her first collegiate win with three strikeouts and two earned runs.
Sarah Lawrence has a day off Monday before returning to action on Tuesday. The Gryphons host former-HVIAC and future-Skyline rival Yeshiva University at 4 p.m.
