St. Joseph's (12-6, 4-2 Skyline) def. Sarah Lawrence (6-11, 1-5 Skyline), 13-8.

GAME ONE
Reigning Skyline Rookie of the Week Taryn Penna (Sparta, N.J./Sparta) led off the game with a single to right field. Sophomore pitcher Kamaron McNair (Lawrenceville, N.J./The Hun School) doubled to score Penna, and the next batter up, rookie Olivia Henry (Pittsburgh, Pa./Sewickley Academy) hit her first career triple to score a second run. The Gryphons led 2-0 in the middle of the first inning.

St. Joseph's responded with three hits, all for extra bases, to tie the score 2-2 in the bottom of the frame. The Gryphons went down in order in the second inning, and SJC took the lead with two more runs. Penna put two more hits in the scorebook, and McNair had a single in the sixth inning, but the Green and White went otherwise hitless and scoreless in the game.

Penna's 3-for-4 hitting marked her team-high eighth multi-hit game of the season. Sophomore Riley Vuyovich (Toms River, N.J./Toms River North) had a 14-game hitting streak snapped on an 0-for-3 effort. In the circle, McNair was handed the loss after four walks and five earned runs; she struck out one Golden Eagle. Vuyovich took over for the final inning, finishing her fourth game in relief.

GAME TWO
In game two, SJC pitcher Mallory McClafferty struggled through the first inning. Vuyovich, McNair and Henry loaded the bases on three-straight walks. Next at the plate, rookie Baylie Petit (Sycamore, Ill./Sycamore) made it four in a row with a base on balls and an RBI. McClafferty found the zone to strike out the next two batters but not before yielding a 1-0 edge to the Gryphons. The Golden Eagles regained momentum, scoring eight runs on 11 hits by the end of the second inning.

The Sarah Lawrence bats warmed up in the top of the third. Vuyovich led off the inning with a walk and moved to second on a wild pitch. Henry and Petit followed with back-to-back singles up the middle, scoring SLC's second run. Henry came home following a Golden Eagle miscue, and sophomore Sarah Shapiro (Germantown, Md./Northwest) hit an RBI-single into right field. Sophomore Eleni Spentzouris (Naperville, Ill./Naperville North) batted in her first run of the season, bringing SLC's total to four runs in the inning, narrowing the gap to 8-5.

After SJC scored two more in the bottom of the third, SLC responded in the fourth. Penna reached on an error and advanced to third base on a pair of pitching mistakes. Henry singled in the inning to score the Gryphons' sixth run. SLC was kept quiet in the fifth, and St. Joseph's pulled away.

SLC kept the Golden Eagles from flying away, scoring the game's final two runs in the sixth and seventh innings. Penna singled in the sixth followed by an RBI-double from Vuyovich. In the seventh, rookie Mikayla Cunningham (Mayville, Mich./Millington) had her first hit of the day with a double to right center. Spentzouris rounded out the evening with her first hit of the season, bringing Cunningham home from second base for the final run of the series.

In the circle, Cunningham threw four innings with two strikeouts, allowing nine earned runs. Vuyovich closed out the game with a strikeout and one earned run over two innings of work.

FOR THE GRYPHONS
Penna finished the day 4 for 8 from the plate. Henry went 3 for 6 with a triple, slugging .833. McNair also had a multi-hit series on 2-for-6 batting with a run, RBI and a double. Vuyovich had a successful series in the circle, yielding one earned run with three innings pitched.

FOR THE GOLDEN EAGLES
Lindsey Corriss hit 7 for 8 in the doubleheader, and Gabrielle Cinquemani hit for a series cycle, going 5 for 8 with five runs. Lauren Buturla earned the win with 10 strikeouts in a complete game one. Ashley Blydenburgh tossed four innings in relief to win game two, while starter McClafferty bowed out after giving up five runs and five walks in her first three innings.
