BRONXVILLE, N.Y. - The Sarah Lawrence softball team earned their first win of the season against York College on Saturday, with Shirin Pechefsky tossing five no-hit innings and fanning six Cardinals in the win. The Gryphons plated 11 runs as eight different players reached base in the win. The second game was postponed midway through the fourth inning due to weather.

Notable Performers

• Pechefsky fanned six Cardinals in her five no-hit innings of work while reaching base and scoring as well

How it Happened

The Gryphons got going early, scoring six first-inning runs thanks to a pair of singles and four walks by the Cardinals. A costly three-run error by the Cardinals helped the Gryphons take a 9-0 lead into the third inning as Pechefsky continued to blank the visitors. The Gryphons would plate two more in the bottom of the third, highlighted by an RBI triple off the bat of Gabby Hudson. Pechefsky closed out the game with a strong fifth inning, as a leadoff walk was stranded after a strikeout and a pair of groundouts. Pechefsky fanned six batters, forced three flyouts and four groundouts in the win, allowing six baserunners across her five innings of work.
