Game Recap: Softball |

Marist Bests Softball on Snowy Sunday Afternoon

Despite Megan Giese striking out a career-high 11 batters in the opening game of the twin bill, Marist defeated Canisius, 3-1, and 7-0, Sunday afternoon in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference action at the Demske Sports Complex.

Canisius moves to 11-12 on the season and 2-2 in conference play, while Marist improves to 14-18 and 2-2 in MAAC play.

Game 1 Recap
Giese continued her strong start to conference play, fanning eight batters through the first four frames of the game.

Marist broke the scoreless contest in the fifth when Caroline Baratta served an 0-1 pitch up the middle to plate a pair.

The Golden Griffins cut the Red Foxes' lead in half on an RBI groundout from sophomore Christie McGee-Ross to score graduate student Erin Hufford in the home half of the sixth.

Marist regained its two-run advantage in the final frame, courtesy of a sacrifice fly from Sam Freeland.

Kiley Myers kept the Canisius bats at bay, yielding just three hits while allowing a walk and hit by pitch.

Game 2 Recap
Marist's offense came alive right away in the second game as the visiting Red Foxes plated three runs in the first inning.

After scoring a run in the third, Marist crossed the plate three more times in the fourth when Baratta hit a three-run homer over the center field wall.

Graduate student Shealyn Ollison entered the circle in the fifth, taking over for starter Alexis Churchill.
Ollison silenced the Red Foxes' bats, tossing 3.2 scoreless frames. The righty fanned three while yielding two hits and one free pass.
