Softball Splits Doubleheader at Rhode Island Saturday

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

BRONX, N.Y. – Splitting a doubleheader on the penultimate day of the regular season, Fordham University Softball fell 3-2, in eight innings before a 6-0 over Rhode Island in game two Saturday afternoon.

Allie Clark singled to drive in a run and came home to score herself in the top of the third on a Sydney Wells triple to put the Rams up 2-0. Rhode Island rallied with a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth, before a single down the line in extra innings saw the home side take the opener in eight innings.

Despite the loss Holly Beeman gave up just a single earned run while striking out five, with both Fordham pitchers going the distance, as Emilee Watkins tossed the full seven innings in game two for her eighth win of the season.

With seven different Rams recording a hit in game two, the Maroon and White got on the board with a two-run home run in the fifth, as Wells broke a scoreless tie with her 16th long-ball of the year, before a double down the line by Mikayla Swan in the sixth put the visiting Rams up by three. The rally would not stop there as Eva Koratsis, Kate McGuire, and Mallory McClellan each brought a run home in the seventh to help see out a 6-0 victory to split the doubleheader.

Despite already locking up a playoff spot the Rams will look to improve their postseason seeding in the regular season finale at Rhode Island tomorrow afternoon at 12:00 p.m. in Kingston, R.I. on ESPN+.
