Solid Pitching, Timely Hitting Fuels Doubleheader Sweep

BRONXVILLE, N.Y.  – Purchase College needed just 10 innings to lock down both ends of a Skyline Conference softball doubleheader Saturday afternoon at Sarah Lawrence College. The Panthers shutout the host Gryphons in the opener, 11-0, and collected a 12-1 victory in game two. 

In the process, Purchase improved to 4-9 overall and 2-2 in the Skyline, while Sarah Lawrence dropped to 0-6 on the season and 0-4 in the league.

The Panthers batted .356 as a team, combining for 21 hits on the day. 

Standout rookie Malena Santia (FR/Rye, NY) went 5-for-7 with three RBI to lead the charge, while senior infielder Brianna Palermo (Hyde Park, NY) doubled twice in a 3-for-7 performance. Palermo tied with teammate Rebecca Bronzi (SO/Lagrangeville, NY) to lead all players in RBI with 4-apiece. 

Senior outfielder Karina Medina (Brooklyn, NY) batted an impressive .750 (3-for-4, 1 RBI) across the the two games, while first-years Kelly Jennings (FR/Yorktown Heights, NY) and Amber Nero (FR/New Rochelle, NY) notched two hits apiece. Jennings smashed a career-first homerun and came around to score a series-high five times. The two-run moonshot capped the scoring in the opener—a triumphant ending to the team's stellar start.

Alexandria Perez (SR/Bronx, NY), Tara Sasso (SR/North Rockland, NY), Julia Marsala (JR/Shoreham, NY), Jade D'Errico (SO/Wantagh, NY) and Katherine Combe (SO/Brooklyn, NY) rounded out the Panther lineup with one hit apiece. 

Sasso added another two complete-game performances, including her second shutout of the season, to boast as she advanced her Skyline record to an even .500 (2-2). The senior ace faced a two-game total of 36 batters (34 AB), allowing just one run to score on three hits, while walking two and striking out a season-best 17 batters.   

Purchase looks to continue its winning ways on the home diamond tomorrow. The Panthers will play host to the Dolphins of Mount Saint Vincent for a Skyline twinbill starting at 11 a.m.
