Marist Splits Doubleheader at Iona

Blanchard Tosses Four-Hitter in Game Two Victory

NEW ROCHELLE, New York – The Marist University softball team split a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference doubleheader at Iona on Friday.
 
After the Gaels took game one by a score of 8-3, the Red Foxes bounced back for a 2-1 triumph in game two.
 
Game One
  • Iona scored the game's first run in the bottom of the first. Alivia Litchner had a one-out triple, and Brianna Fischer followed with a sacrifice fly.
  • Lily Roumelis' three-run homer in the top of the second staked Marist to a 3-1 lead. Roumelis also drove in Livia Wiltsie and Isabella Manory, who had drawn walks.
  • However, Iona fought back with a seven-run bottom of the second, which closed out the scoring.
  • Marist had six hits, led by Manory and Peyton Pusey with two apiece.
  • Manory threw out two runners attempting to steal.
  • Anna Sidlowski did not allow an earned run in 4.1 innings of relief. She struck out two.
  • For Iona, Melissa Gordon pitched a complete gamae. She allowed six hits and two walks, and she struck out two. Fischer drove in three runs, and Brooke Acker went 3-for-3.
 
Game Two
  • Marist struck for two in the top of the third. Maia Salvo led off the inning with a ground-rule double. She scored two batters later on an error following a single by Peyton Pusey. Annabelle Geiser then brought Pusey home on a groundout.
  • In the bottom of the sixth, Rachael Morales doubled with two outs, and she scored on a single by Alivia Litchner. The Gaels then loaded the bases, but Stella Blanchard induced a pop out to end the inning.
  • Iona got the tying run on base in the bottom of the seventh, but Blanchard ended the game with her fifth strikeout. She tossed a four-hitter and walked just two, as she needed just 90 pitches to get through her outing.
  • Blanchard earned her team-leading eighth win of the year.
  • Allison Hoppe pitched a two-hitter and struck out five for Iona.
 
Records
  • Marist is now 16-18 overall and 10-2 in MAAC play.
  • Iona stands at 12-17 overall and 7-7 in conference play.
