Utica sweeps Alfred University in Empire 8 softball doubleheader

UTICA, NY – Host Utica College swept Alfred University in an Empire 8 Conference doubleheader Friday afternoon.
 
The Pioneers beat AU in the first game, 4-1, then took the second game, 3-1, to drop the Saxons to 14-8 overall and 5-3 in Empire 8 play.
 
After four scoreless innings in the opener, Alfred went ahead with a run in the top of the fifth. Freshman outfielder Becca Alexander (Middletown, DE/Middletown) singled and advanced to third on an error before coming home on a sacrifice bunt off the bat of senior outfielder Samantha Jauregui (Lindsay, CA/Lindsay).
 
The Saxons' lead was short-lived, however, as the host Pioneers answered with four runs off Alfred's starter, sophomore Shannon Schaefer (Westfield, NJ/Westfield), in the bottom of the frame. AU didn't threaten after that, with one Saxon batter reaching base in each of the last two innings.
 
Senior second baseman Dana Torchia Pompton Plains, NJ/Pequannock Twp.), freshman Lu Krawczyk (West Seneca, NY/West Seneca West), junior first baseman Sophia Chiavatti (Tustin, CA/Foothill), senior outfielder Nora Passuite (Lockport, NY/Lockport) and Alexander each had hits for Alfred.
 
Schaefer took the loss, allowing four earned runs on 10 hits, with six coming in the four-run fifth, over 4 1/3 innings. Sophomore Kerri Keeler (Jamesville, NY/Jamesville-DeWitt) tossed 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, allowing a pair of hits.
 
In the nightcap, Utica took an early lead with a pair of runs in the second and held AU off the scoreboard until the top of the sixth. Torchia was hit by a pitch to lead off the innings and came home when the next batter, junior third baseman Liz Thompson (Horseheads, NY/Horseheads), doubled. Utica responded with a run in the bottom of the inning to close out the scoring.
 
Jauregui, Thompson and Chiavatti had hits for the Saxons. Keeler fell to 5-5 with the loss, allowing three earned runs on seven hits while striking out three over six innings.
 
Alfred is in action next on Saturday, at 1 p.m. for a doubleheader at Empire 8 leading Ithaca College.
